GDT: PS game 4: Sharks vs Utah 7pm streamed on sharks.nhl.com

This is closest to a NHL game by far, we looked good on couple of times. Celebrini injury was sooo demotivating, I mean it was good to see Smith take some more action and looked good.

 

[karltonian]

we had a grand total of 0 players as good as probably their top 3-4 players after celebrini left.

 

[Juxtaposer]

++Will Smith was fun, made things happen
++Macklin Celebrini is good at hockey

+Eklund good
+Zetterlund doing Zetterlund things
+I like Wennberg when he isn't over handling the puck
+Jack Thompson was really solid
+Walman, Ceci, Ferraro all legit NHL defensemen
+The highs for Luca were high
+Goodrow was... good?
+Graf was solid, didn't do enough to earn an NHL spot on opening night but his B game is good and he definitely looks more active and confident than his stretch last spring

-Eklund needs to stop reaching with his stick so much on defense, he's gonna get into penalty trouble
-Benning... stop trying to carry the puck
-Cagnoni would really be best served improving his defense on the Cuda, but he still had a great camp and definitely has moments where he makes good defensive plays


--I miss Macklin
--I can't believe I have to watch 82 more games of Luke Kunin, someone kill me now



On a serious note, Clayton Keller is the player I want William Eklund to turn into. I've always loved Keller.

 

[Munnyro]

If the mood hadn't already suffered with Celebrini not returning, to then have to watch a 2nd PP unit with Kunin, Wennberg and Goodrow, well, that put me over the edge.

I thought Goody was fine overall.

 

[karltonian]

The team needs to say something NOW

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Smith has really good top end speed and acceleration.
He can close in on pucks very fast, hopefully he develops some IQ for the defensive part of the game.

Good chances this period but a lot of high and wide shots.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

The team needs to say something NOW

Seriously. Just an assurance is all I need.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

The team needs to say something NOW

Yes they do. There have been so many injuries in the exhibition and today three Ottawa Senator stars went down. This is the number 1 draft pick, and the future of the team. Let people know they don't have to worry.

 

[Star Platinum]

I've been trying to rationalize it but everything has been worst case scenario running through my mind. I punched a wall when he went down so that speaks volumes about my mental state right now

Did you sit out the rest of the game with an UBI to be on the safe side?

IMO, that's way too many plusses. This was not a good game.

 

[Shark Finn]

So who busted this time? Or what, Celebrini's health?

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Yes. Actually lol. Hand hurts like a mofo. Then ended up laying in my room and came back when the game finished

 

[tiburon12]

I get the feeling the "injury" is minor and pulling him out was precautionary. Looks like hip-first into the boards. Probably will be sore tomorrow

 

[weastern bias]

I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Sharks. I am no longer a fan.

 

[Munnyro]

Smith is gonna be unreal this season. I can feel it.

My life AND my party

Usually don't post this sort of thing, but I think it tells the story quite well for this game.

I had to watch on the computer and it's too important to smash.

I suspect he tweaked something not on impact with the boards but at the moment he fell. I honestly don't think he was tripped, I think he toe-picked or something before he went down.

Hopefully it's minor. Obviously a good sign that he went out for another shift after it happened so nothing debilitating.

I don't think I've been this anxious about a rookie's health since... Tomas Hertl.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Take my Arm. Take my leg. Take my heart, you can have it! Just give him back!

Brownie points for those who get it. Because Celebrini's injury has gotten me neurotic a f.

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

Looked like Mack toe picked, I was worried it was his shoulder got jacked the way he went into the boards but it’s being reported as an L.B.i

I think Smith, a lot like Bedard, has a very good sense of taking calculated risks on defense to generate offense. He doesn't need to be a shut down guy.

[one2gamble]

Honestly Smith looked legit. You are going to have to surround him with quality players but I think he's special

 

[TheBeard]

Mac should grow a set and stop being such a p***y.
