Good loss to take, as it keeps them humbled. We are not gonna be like the 3 previous Presidents Trophy winning Caps!

Trap game if I ever saw one. Logan is the only reason we escaped with a point. On to Toronto.

Poor game. Sharks looked good so all credit to them though.
Watched from about six rows up and there were good stretches and bad stretches. Caps largely looked like a team who just won four straight over three good teams (and the Islanders) and didn’t play with the same structure and precision they’ve proven they’re capable of. The cross-ice passing was especially bad.
Wouldn’t feel too bad about this one. The Sharks were fun to watch and are 10-6-3 over their last 19 games, which is a top-10 record in the NHL over that span. They’re pacing right now to almost double their point total from last year.

I was there too. Celebrini is the real deal and well worth paying to watch in person. Will Smith was an absentee, or at least not noticed by me and I was looking for him
Caps played just OK but the Sharks were better than a bottom dwelling team,, so it’s not a scandal to have taken a point and not two. That said,Wilson end-of-game penalty is not what you expect from a leader.

Sharks are a different team with Celebrini in the lineup.
With: 7 - 5 - 4 (.563 points percentage; would be playoff WC2 in the west based on current standings)
Without: 3 - 8 - 1 (.292 points percentage; would be worst in the NHL by a wide margin)
I honestly didn’t even know that Will Smith was playing until he got rocked into the boards right in front of me late in the third. He was a ghost out there. Celebrini was a ton of fun to watch though, as you said. He’s like a magnet for the puck and was super impressive. I liked Eklund too.

Music is the Best!
A letdown at some point after a bunch of tough comebacks and wins over top teams is inevitable
Sharks skated hard, congrats to them
Giving up 1 in reg also ain't too shabby
Take the point, leave the cannoli
light rest of the week, get some good practices in and get ready for @ TOR and @ MTL (w/Laine) Fri/Sat

Not to give excuses, was the ice particularly shitty last night? There seemed to be a ton of pucks bouncing over sticks or randomly jumping off the puck carrier's stick in a way that had as much impact as anything the Sharks did defensively.

I think Celebrini has looked like the most NHL ready 1OA since Matthews. Tho I could be forgetting someone. He’s been fun to watch, and was a problem for the Caps last night. I need to head to the Tank to see him in person.
15 pts in 16 GP. Several GWGs. Not too shabby. Would like to see him beat Michkov for the Calder.
Caps weren’t at their sharpest, and just missed on a few grade A chances. Blackwood was also really on his game, and the Sharks worked hard all night.
Still first in the East. On to Toronto!
