GDT: Game 33. UHC 7pm

[vortexy]

Feeling this is will be a high scoring game.....

Sharks 4 - Utah 5 Celebrini, Smith, Kovalenko, Granlund

 

[Jargon]

I’m not really sure Wennberg and Smith even make sense together. Smith can shoot, sure, but they’re both pass-first guys, leaving… Barclay Goodrow as the finisher.

 

[Original22]

Sharks 5-3 over the Hockey Club(soon to be named the Yeti)

Kovalenko, Zetterlund, Kunin, Granlund, Liljegren

Keller, McBain, Cooley

When you can put your 19 year old top playmaking prospect with a guy who has one even strength goal in 27 games, you simply gotta.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

It really should be a no Brainer

Eklund-Celebrini-Zetterlund
Kovalenko-Granlund-Smith

This coaching staff is wither godlike or total ass. No in between

It’s about Wennberg hitting utahs defense with magnum they will be stunned and it will open up a lane for smith to shoot

 

[Lebanezer]

Celebrini and Smith should play together. It’s the best thing for Smith’s development. Celebrini can play with anyone and be fine.

Sharks 5 (Kovalenko, Smith, Granlund, Walman, Kunin)
Utah 3

 

[Pinkfloyd]

If Toffoli is in, my lines would be:

Kovalenko-Celebrini-Toffoli
Eklund-Granlund-Zetterlund
Grundstrom-Wennberg-Smith
Goodrow-Sturm-Kunin

Otherwise:

Kovalenko-Celebrini-Smith
Eklund-Granlund-Zetterlund
Grundstrom-Wennberg-Kunin
Goodrow-Sturm-Dellandrea

Smith was at his best with Celebrini and he’s the best player he can play with. Let them keep learning together.

I don't want Celebrini to be "fine", want him to thrive, those two of on such different paths I'd like to see them separate at even strength

Celebrini is on pace for 35 goals and 66 points in 70 games while providing break even defense in a bad defensive environment

Smith is on pace for 15 goals and 33 points in 74 games while being a poor defender himself

Celebrini is a top-6 center, Smith is a developmental project, these who are not on the same track and shouldn't be playing together, Celebrini should have the luxury of playing with linemates who can keep up with him

Eklund-Celebrini-Toffoli
Zetterlund-Granlund-Smith

I would try that for once Toffoli is available, I hate to break up 72-71-20 but I think Toffoli compliments that line better than he does the Granny/Smith pairing

Fine wasn’t really the right word. I think Celebrini will thrive with any combination of the other top 6ish forwards on the team. Smith needs more help, and can learn the most from Celebrini.
