Mack sniper

 

[Juxtaposer]

I like a lot of the things Jack Thompson does, but he's just a little too bland to be anything more than a decent #7. I'd love him to do whatever Justin Braun did in 2012 to become an elite skater.

CELEBRIMBOR

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Obviously Eichel, Hertl, and a few others aren’t there but Celebrini is obviously the best player on the ice and that’s nice to see.

 

[Star Platinum]

Ok, I'm officially happy about this game tonight. That was some great qbing from Macklin and he got the goal. That was really fun to watch.

We needed that goal badly for our sanity

 

[timorous me]

You always can't help but wonder how a talent like Celebrini is going to look when he finally steps out against actual NHL players (and with actual NHL players), but this...this has exceeded my expectations. This is legitimately so exciting.

 

[Anomie2029]

Obviously that shot by Mack was fantastic. But boy, is Cagnoni looking good. The look off feed there was beautiful.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Macklin's cele on that is the all-time classic' "face the camera expressionless to remind the viewer that youre a literal child"

 

[mogambomoroo]

Jesus Macklin was on the whole another level on that PP, he looked like he was already the 1C. I don't even care what happens with the score, that goal was needed for the confidence.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Can't stress that Cagnoni is only 19! Move over Thrun and Mukhamadullin...

 

[bluefunnel]

Celebrini!!!

 

[YUPPY 2 7 10 11]

Celebrnnnnnnnnnninini Scored again!

 

[Lebanezer]

Can't stress that Cagnoni is only 19! Move over Thrun and Mukhamadullin...

Even if they move we still won't be able to see Cagnoni.

I dunno. Cardwell is close to getting some games this year. He's molding his game into what he will be at the next level. Cagnoni looks comfy offensively with a bunch of skilled players around him on the PP. He's been good. Isn't being eaten alive physically. Graf I think got significantly faster and he looks to be at least keeping pace.

Celebrini is just plug and play though so I get the point.

I know it's probably not fair, but when I talk about the young kids, Graf and Cardwell aren't really on my radar at all.

 

[knu]

Cagnoni to Celebrini. This is our future.

 

[Alaskanice]

Tyler!!

 

[pspete]

There should be almost no chance of Cagnoni not playing pro hockey this year

 

[knu]

omfg this kid.

 

[Hodge]

I watched the games. But I wasn't looking only for things to bitch about--I was looking as well for positives. And I could see them.

What's your weird fetish with shitting on kids that fans start to get excited about? I know you can't do that with someone like Celebrini because he's at a different, untouchable level, so instead you look at guys with talent but warts, like Musty and Cagnoni. And it's f***ing insufferable.

I'm just capable of being honest about what I see unlike someone people. I've never shit on Celebrini, Dickinson, Smith, Mukhamadullin or Eklund from the moment they became Sharks because there's never been any reason to.

 

[Lebanezer]

2 PPG season incoming.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Macklin on the Power Play is going to be so entertaining.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Let's not forget that the coaching staff had a lot of good things to say about Gushchin as well.

There should be almost no chance of Cagnoni not playing pro hockey this year

I would never not agree

 

[drunksage]

Monterey-in-law!!

 

[Juxtaposer]

We desperately need Luca Cagnoni to pan out. He's the only player like him in our whole system.
