GDT: Game 16: Sharks @ Devils 4:00pm NBCSCA

They need to bring back Cooley

Logan is no tank commander. He just knows that the Tank smiles on us all; all a man can do is smile back

Is Celebrini going to be our best defensive player? He is fast.

It's not like he has a lot of competition for that title.

Exactly.

Why is G. SMith getting a shift with 7 mins left

He’s played very well today.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Why is G. SMith getting a shift with 7 mins left

He’s looked better than some guys.

Hard disagree. The compete level of this team vs. last year's is so much higher, and I'm loving the evolution of Eklund & Zetterlund's defensive games. The guys who're paid to defend? Yeah, they suck. But team-wide, I'm actually really happy with the defensive effort.

Credit where credit's due, Smith has looked pretty solid tonight

He's having probably his best game as a Shark?

Celebrini just makes a dangerous play out of nowhere all the time, it's amazing how much a player can refresh the whole system.

 

[CanadienShark]

Never get tired of those Eklund quick turns

He's so damn shifty with them. Sometimes I feel it's unnecessary, but he can also create something out of nothing with it, so it's a worthwhile risk.

Good point.

The guy is so dangerous with his backhand. His spinning backhand pass (just like 1st goal) is the perfect example.

Oh... okay fair enough

 

[Alaskanice]

Hank is playing quite well.

I don’t think his awareness is there just yet to really have that kind of impact in year 1. I’ve noticed him out of position on a number of plays. He might have the most takeaways and flashy defensive plays, though; he’s clearly very engaged defensively.

Offensively, on the other hand, he just looks ridiculous. He’s more impressive to me in this game than Jack Hughes.

 

[CanadienShark]

He hasn't been on the ice a ton, but stood out positively from my view.

I didn't say he had no competition. Just that he doesn't have a lot of competition. And the fact that the title of best defensive player on the team is being fought for by an offensively gifted young player and a guy who's regarded as a good two-way player where neither are meant to be defensive stalwarts are, essentially, things in Celebrini's favor for challenging for the best defender mantle.

 

[OverTheLine]

Celebrini hasn’t just been our best player tonight, he’s been the best player in the game. So obvious whenever he’s on the ice.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

sad Ferraro face alert!

 

[Pavelski2112]

Mario here to make sure we lose this game after all

 

[Friday]

How is this happening rn haha

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Blackwood standing on his head.

 

[The Nemesis]
