GDT: Game 20: Sharks vs. Red Wings 7:30pm NBCSCA

[Pavelski2112]

Excellent pass

 

[TheBeard]

Pretty impressive we’ve been putting up some decent goal totals without getting much of anything from the top line.

 

[vortexy]

Was a real nice job by Wennberg drawing 2 guys to him, then great pass to Toff and that man is automatic from there

bullying continues to work. great pass from wennberg

 

[karltonian]

glad to know we can compete with the worst team in the league

What a pass by Wennberg

And it went into the right net this time

 

[TheBeard]

“Wennberg only see net. Wennberg no care whose.”

God It’s pretty insane how bad Detroit still looks this far into their “rebuild”

 

[vortexy]

Pretty impressive we’ve been putting up some decent goal totals without getting much of anything from the top line.

To be fair Detroit has one of the worst defenses outside of their top pair. I wonder if Warso would have the balls to try Eklund with Mack and Smith to get them buzzing here in the third. Feel like Granlund with Zetts and Goodrow (I personally would try Grundstrom) could still drive play. But Warso probably sees the Lund line as untouchable at the moment

See how volatile his consistency is? It's all over the place from one shift to the next.

Few thoughts:

-Toffoli is so good around the net. It just feels like he’s such an old pro, we haven’t had a guy who so comfortably scores in a long time.

-Eklund keeps getting better, I love watching him. The whole Lund line is really fun and I really marvel at Granlund’s tenacity and skill combo. Will Smith should be shadowing that guy.

-Smith looks the absolute best with Celebrini. He obviously still has a lot of work to do (they both need to get stronger obviously) but he’s actually winning battles and even looks a bit faster. Definitely 100x more confident and comfortable than he seemed even 2 weeks ago.

 

[slocal]

I f***ing love Jumbo

 

[Jargon]

Oh one more thought. Kostin drives me crazy because some shifts he’s an absolute force. This dude could be a top 6 player easily if he just f***ing tried.

 

[Lebanezer]

There’s a ton of Red Wings fans at the game. I’m enjoying that lack of recognition that they’re in year 8 of their rebuild and they can’t outplay a Sharks team that is clearly not trying to win. Kudos to you Red Wings, kudos.

You can't separate basically the only line that's been producing this game. I don't know what you do with the top unit, but I honestly don't think keeping Smith and Celebrini together is the way. Both immensely talented but both struggling rookies now.

They're still likely to stumble into two points still tonight. lol

As soon as players get taken off Celebrini's line they get points lol. Dude should be traded right after the game before he destroys Smith's game.

yeah Celebrini is obviously a bust

Megabust. Jamarcus Celebrini

 

[Sharksfan66]

One of Eklund’s go to moves

I thought of Eklund at first but I can only remember him doing this when he has more space from defenders. Smith does it with a guy right on him. Eklund tends to use his spin o rama when guys are that tight on him, no?

 

[The Nemesis]

yeah Celebrini is obviously a bust

Celebrini is the Barclay Goodrow of Will Smiths.

 

[karltonian]

It is interesting to see Celebrini making plays in opponents' faces, but then the play goes for nothing because no one else can play in opponents' faces like he can, that is ever on his line.

[OrrNumber4]

It's fun to have many players (Eklund, Granlund, and Smith) playing deceptive games. Previous iterations of Sharks teams didn't have that many guys like that.
