F Macklin Celebrini - Boston University Terriers, NCAA (2024, 1st, SJS)

[HeadLiceHatty]

Yup. He looked good although he seemed to slow down as the game went on. He also needed to do more on the O.T. goal. Having said that, as you said, there was no doubt he belonged.

Michkov has the same type of games where he gases as the game progresses, they’re kids they’ll have to adjust to the NHL speed, nothing a few years of conditioning won’t fix, the Calder race between Michkov and Celebrini is going to be fun this year. Not a Sharks fan but will definitely catch games this year, Celebrini is quite the talent.

I don't understand why some people were questioning his upside if they watched him play coming into this season, I thought it was quite apparent his ability was top end.

He assist to Toffoli was a beauty.

I agree but I was still surprised how good he looked in the first period. After all, he's just a kid.

I mentioned this in another thread (One comparing Bedard v Celebrini v Hagens v McKenna) that in my opinion he is the only player of the latter 3 than can be better than Bédard;

 

[Juxtaposer]

He's really fun to watch live, just lightning quick and ambitious with the puck. Always in the right place, you can see the gears turning.

 

[macbowes]

He really reminds me of Crosby. Most complete prospect since Matthews, in my opinion.

 

[Bombshell11]

I wonder if we decide, in the near future, that he was the most underhyped prospect to come around. I always maintained that what he did in the USHL as a 16 year old and in the NCAA as a 17 year old was unprecedented and we all should have been more gaga over him than we were.

Yeah honestly Bedard was all hype, everyone was so busy talking about Bedard as being the next big thing, forgeting that Canada was on a harsher lockdown than usa.

And to top it all up Bedard has been given all the PP time he could get in chicago, they been pamper him real good over there... some nights he played 6-7 mins of PP and 22-23 mins of TOI and barely did anything...

Celebrini with 17 mins and 1.3 min of pp got 2 pts and hes also a guy that is working for his production, hes helping the team even when he doesnt have the puck and that is something for a rookie.

Yes... hes giving Crosby vibes

We get it bedard didn’t sign your poster of him and your 50 and mad about it

We get it, Bedard DID sign your poster and now you have to defend him in every possible nook and cranny of the Internet

 

[Video Nasty]

The NHL is in a strong position right now, with a wealth of talent still under 30 and exciting young players like Celebrini ready to assume the mantle in the coming years.

Though the Sharks are not one of my teams, they are my local team, and I’m excited to go to some more of their games now that they have a supreme talent on the ice. Looking forward to when Chicago comes to the Bay Area on Halloween to see both Celebrini and Bedard, and of course in April when the Oilers come to town.

It’s about time Sharks fans have a talent like him to follow night in and night out.

Sometimes you just bet on the wrong card. I dont blame you.

I bought a Rimouski 9.5 Graded Crosby card 20 years ago, i paid like 80$ USD for it on ebay... the card still sells for the same amount of $ 20 years later. Adjusted for inflation, the card lost value.

It happens. Bedard is a good offensive player. But if all your interested is to see a guy putting up points and not care about winning than you got what you wanted.

I've got that beat.

I have a NFL penant signed by all the players on a (losing) SuperBowl team - some are very famous. I put it away for 40 years, assuming it would greatly appreciate in value.

A little while ago, I tried to sell it. One guy said he would give me $250 for it but he needed $150 to authenticate it. In other words, after 40 years, he offered me a lousy $100.

TBH, I should take the $100 and give it to my Church.

Yes, it's insane the amount of talent in the pipeline and it's another reason why the NHL should expand.

As a Canadian, I am amazed / pleasantly surprised how many of the top young players are Canadian.

I'm just surprised / disappointed it was worth so little.

I mean Gretzky's card was worth maybe 10k lile 20 years ago now its 10 mils +

Its all about the storyline
