I rate it as excellent. This is something I thought was very similar:

That is very very good. Keep them coming.

Great Celebrini Breakdown: Hockey PDOcast Film Room

Last comment was they need to do a d-man, but the problem (along with more minutes to review) is defenseman aren't as involved. Seems like a Hutson one could be good. I'd also love to see them do a deep dive in Michkov and Stankhoven.

These clips do an awesome job of the many things Celebrini does defensively (and in converting defense to offense).

I'm completely biased, but that's about the most fun breakdown I've seen of a player.

Thanks for posting that. I felt like at times they were just repeating things they already said, but obviously they were geeking out over him and they were very detailed about the things he does. As someone who never played, those details are very educational.

I hope they do Michkov and Hutson.

In this compilation courtesy of the PDOcast, obviously a lot of high skill, high IQ plays but a few maybe underrated ones:



Starting at 23:15 the way he denied Crosby 1v1 in the neutral zone when Crosby pounced on a high turnover.

28:55 that bunt by choking way down on his apparently extra long stick, seems simple but i don't know many players in sharks history would even try that play, let alone execute it perfectly. there are several other bunts in this video.

29:46 the casual perfection of that carom, i'm a huge fan of a good carom game. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a player mess that up, getting it from the goalie out of the net and skating toward the forechecker somewhat unexpectedly as the last man back is already a stress situation, many players would pound it to the boards without much control, or try to rag it back and lose control, resulting in a delay or regroup, allowing the opposing team to increase forechecking. many times that turns into a 50-50 puck if not a turnover. but he caroms it at a remarkably deep angle to get it to granlund in stride for a 100% zone exit. which then turns into a 10-bell scoring chance that requires a save of the year candiate to stop.

Five games in a row without a point for Michkov and -8 in that stretch.

Michkov: 27 points in 32 games (0.84 ppg)
Celebrini: 23 points in 24 games (0.96 ppg)

Celebrini is ahead now; no question about it.

Lots of season left though. It’s going to be fun to watch!

Michkov: 27 points in 31 games (0.87 ppg)
Celebrini: 23 points in 24 games (0.96 ppg)

Celebrini is ahead now; no question about it.

I fully expect Celebrini to have a few more pointless game streaks this season. He was honestly was pretty close to scoring against the Avalanche (post) and Oilers (2 vs 1) last 2 games.

Hutson has 14 pts in his last 12 games, and has gone pointless in only 1 of those games.

He's now only 2 pts behind Michkov

Oh for sure. They’ll both have more pointless streaks.

I do think Celebrini will finish with a better ppg though.

He has 14 even strength points and 11 powerplay points this year. Tied for 9th in points for all defensemen as a rookie.
