The buzz at the Sharks Fan Fest this year is likely to be all about newly acquired stud defenseman Erik Karlsson, who is already conjuring visions of the Stanley Cup coming to San Jose. In the meantime, hockey fans jonesing for some action on the ice can gather at the SAP Center to get photos with players and watch the Sharks Legends game, featuring an array of former Sharks, including Bryan Marchmont, Mike Ricci, Jeff Friesen and many more. Free parking is available at several SAP Center lots. All this is prologue to the new season, which kicks off Oct. 3 against Anaheim.
