Injury Report: 2024-25 Sharks/Barracuda health

[Mr Fahrenheit]

So I returned my original Celebrini jersey because the sharks store screwed up the numbers on the back.

New jersey was purchased from Fanatics on 10/10 (Celebrini gets hurt)
No update from Fanatics until yesterday saying it was delayed, but will ship no later than 11/6 (the same day Celebrini starts skating....coincidence? I don't believe so)

Based on transit time, if it ships on 11/6 then the earliest Celebrini will be back will be 11/11 because I'm pretty sure the universe is tying his return to my jersey order.

If we are lucky, it will ship sooner which could put his return as early as Thursday 11/7 but not holding my breath. I apologize for his absence

Damn, even his jerseys are week to week

Both are Fanatics. I ordered the original jersey directly from the Sharks store when they first became available but they were doing the heat press for numbers/nameplate in store in real time. I think in the rush to get them out, they just aligned the numbers weird so the bottom of the numbers were touching the bottom stripe with no gap which looked super weird and just generally poor quality. I think it was the "breakout" jersey as well based on the cost.

I've since ordered a "custom" Premium from Fanatics (they don't have a premade Celebrini away jerseys available so had to do a custom name/number to get it).

I tried for a while to figure out the difference between Authentic, Premium, and Breakout and from what I gathered, I think the Premium version is just the Adidas jersey with the Fanatics logo. Authentic is supposed to be handmade but crazy expensive. There is some sizing differences too between Breakout (cheapest) and Premium. Breakout is the lowest quality/cost but honestly it wasn't bad when I got it, just poorly aligned name/number and was coming direct from the Sharks store in San Jose.

Thanks for the Info i think that helps me with my choice

Not unlike the claymation Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, we're the Island of Misfit Defensemen.

Celebrini is the first person on the ice for morning skate. At this point, it's becoming meme-worthy.

 

[Barrie22]

Couture practiced once and skated for less then a week last year before coming back. Celebrini is now skating for over a week and been part of multiple practices still not back. Yup they being way over protective.

So maybe vs Columbus Tuesday for return?

What should the forward lines look like if Mack is ready to go on Tuesday? I think I'd like to see something like this:

Granlund-Celebrini-Toffoli
Eklund-Wennberg-Zetterlund
Goodrow-Smith-Kunin
Grundstrom-Sturm-Cardwell/Dellandrea

Eklund-Wennberg-Zetterlund
Goodrow-Smith-Kunin
Grundstrom-Sturm-Cardwell/Dellandrea

I'd still like to see Granlund back with Smith.

Ek-Celly-Toff
Granlund-Kibble-Zetts
Reunite the shutdown line of Goodrow-Wennberg-Kunin
Grund-Sturm-Dell

Alternately Ek can be Smith's Perreault with Zetterlund playing the Leonard role, Keeping Granlund on your top line.

Eklund seems like a perfect linemate for Smith on paper, surprised that hasn't been tried yet.

Granlund-Celebrini-Toffoli
Eklund-Wennberg-Zetterlund
Goodrow-Smith-Kunin
Grundstrom-Sturm-Cardwell/Dellandrea

I think Granlund and toffoli needs to be split up.

I think the top 9 should be split up like this.

Granlund/toffoli-celebrini
Granlund/toffoli-eklund
Smith-goodrow

Fill in the final 3 spots with the best of the worst that we have left.

 

[weastern bias]

I'd keep the top line intact and I'd like to see them pair Smith with Wennberg to help lighten the defensive load on his line, he'd be much more helpful than Kunin as a linemate since he can share the center responsibilities like they wanted Granlund to do for him

72-71-73
XX-64-20
23-21-2

I was also thinking about Smith and Wennberg. Wennberg may have his flaws or deficiencies, but I still feel strongly that Smith needs to play with at least one more skill player, and I think Wennberg fits that definition well enough.

I'm not even trying to knock Goodrow and Kunin; it's just that they are who they are and it's tough for a guy like Smith to be with two linemates who don't have the kind of puck possession ability that he thrives on nor the instincts in the attacking zone for a guy who thinks the game the way he does.

I agree except for the "not knocking Kunin" part

 

[gaucholoco3]

Eklund seems like a perfect linemate for Smith on paper, surprised that hasn't been tried yet.

Eklund also is one of the few players that plays at a pace that can match Celebrini.

Last night was a particularly frustrating Kunin game. I think literally the only good thing he did offensively was the pass to Sturm for the goal.

 

[Hodge]

Eklund also is one of the few players that plays at a pace that can match Celebrini.

Eventually I'd like to see he and Celebrini each driving their own line.

 

[weastern bias]

I don't know if Eklund will ever get to that level, I think his eventual destiny is to be an awesome support piece on a good top-6 line which makes him an ideal runningmate for Celebrini

I think in the long term the 2nd line will either need to be driven either by Will Smith or by someone we haven't drafted yet, I don't think Eklund will be a high enough level play driver to take over that role, hopefully he proves me wrong

I was going to ask where was the best place to get a legit pro jersey seems like fanatics is the place to go

I strongly disagree, he only seems to get better and better each year I can see him being a
Top LW in the league he looks like he will peak at Milan Hejduk status
