F Macklin Celebrini (2024, 1st, SJS)

Not to mention his critical ozone face off wins while the net was empty.

Not to mention 2A and hitting the post in OT. And for some reason warso is stapling him to Barclay Goodrow (???)

Hopefully, someone posts a clip of his exceptional backcheck that stopped an ENG and earned the Sharks a point!

He's something special. VERY special.

This guy stands out in a great way as someone with only 10 career games. Coach is giving him tons of opportunity, and is trusted as an 18 year old to take the faceoffs with the net empty. Would've been fitting if he scored on that OT shot.

Also...if the sharks could win shootouts they would have an 10-11-1 record lol. Team has way more fight than last year.

What he did last night I haven't seen from a Sharks player in possibly ever. The refuse to lose attitude, coupled with the skill to make it happen ... He'll get 4 points on a 5 minute PP during his career

Labanc did that and he is hated by the general fan base.

The most clutch Shark of all time for 5 minutes.

Failed comparison, sigh. There is no aspect of Sharks fandom not associated with unfulfilled promise. May Celebrini be the chosen one to bring balance.

Labanc did it only if you believe the second Couture goal didnt go in off Hertl's knee

So hated that 4 years later, they still don't want to give him credit.

A nice little read by Jack Han (former Leafs analyst, now focused on hockey tactics+development) The Celebrini Effect

He gets my vote for rookie of the year.

 

[1Gold Standard]

He has my vote for the ROY award.

This kid just has that "it" factor. Great two way game, cerebral, good skater, high competitiveness. Seems like someone that will make everyone on the team better. Exactly the type of franchise player you want to build around.
