Just watched the game.

I don’t remember the last time the Sharks played this well defensively. Offense supporting, defense skating and making smart passes, good sticks, good gap control and FAST breakouts. Like, who the f*** is this team?!

Some of the plays in the offensive zone were beautiful. It felt like both teams had moments of sort of awkward fumbling and shot misses/heels but, in general, it was a perfect road game and they played the Capitals exceedingly well.

Eklund ending it in overtime was a great finish. Celebrini is f***ing amazing. Walman and a 2nd for future considerations, I mean, Jesus Christ, those considerations would look STEEP if that’s how it worked — he’s great. Ferraro and Liljegren look like a good 2nd pairing. I’ve really enjoyed Liljegren’s smooth skating and mobility.

Smith has been hustling and skating way better. His passes into sticks and people were a little brutal a few times, but then other times they were elite, so I’m fine with him testing and learning, that’s part of the experience. He’s a totally different player than the first 10 games though. I really like the Kostin (he’s been quite good), Granny, Smith line.

actually, in general, these lines are really potent.

I can’t believe this team is this fun again.

I can't explain Ferraro's resurgence, and I am sure that Kostin falls off...but this could be evidence how useful adding another top-6 winger and #2-3 defenseman would be

Just went through Washington's GDT, and just like OTT, DET, LAK, and a few other teams...they are all surprised at how much better the Sharks are than they thought...and praise Celebrini for how good he looks.
