San Jose Sharks kick off new Campaign with Division Rival Anaheim Ducks...
PREVIEW
San Jose, CA- It's a brand new year across the National Hockey League. The San Jose Sharks are set to meet their Division foes the Anaheim Ducks. The Sharks swept the Ducks in the first round of the Playoffs back in April before losing to the Golden Knights.
"It's a new year and a lot of times you use what happened to you the previous season as motivation. We know with how we swept them in the Playoffs they'll come out fast on us." Sharks Head Coach Peter DeBoer stated.
"We had a solid year last year from what happened to us early and how we made the playoffs." Ducks Captain Ryan Getzlaf stated.
Ducks Head Coach Randy Carlyle knows the task at hand for his crew.
"San Jose is a really great team. They hit you hard, play fast, and come out swinging." Carlyle stated.
The Ducks have Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry from that 2007 Stanley Cup Team.
But gone are the days of the Ducks dominating the Pacific Division.
Last year the Ducks had their 5 year streak of Pacific Division Champions snapped.
It's a new day.
A new era.
A new Season.
When the puck drops, the Pacific Division Rivals will be at each other's throats.
