We've seen enough. Give the kid the C.
They did it! JD called it! lol The younglings need more ice time. Smith needs more opportunities, or support. We've got nothin' to lose, we gotta just let 'em get out there and get in the groove. May this be the boost they needed!
That ecky, smith to celli goal was so smooth. I wanna see those 3 as a top line someday
The Mack performance goes without saying, but I'm so stoked for Will Smith. The OT puck control, zone entry, was a thing of beauty on his part.
Queue the victory dance!
If Warso ever breaks up The Smack Line, he should be committed.
He put the team on his back doh
Orlov is on pace for 0 goals, 82 assists.
I'm really looking forward to Misa and Wennberg switching roles.
Let’s look at who had points tonight. 6 goals, 18 total points to be passed out… 14 of those went to players under 24.
Play the freaking kids!
Did Warz sell his kid to NY, finally what a game by the big 3 !
I’m fine with the will smith goal being 5on5 (the first one) so they all get +1
Finally 😂😂😅 massive win, lets kick on from here.
FINALLY!!! 😭😭
Reaves has been a great signing already
Skinner,misa,& toff should be 2nds line!
Dickinson & Lilj! Should be the dman pair!
Being a sharks fan and getting a win is basically like winning the cup.
Been saying this…the chemistry that would develop between them is special, have to keep them on the same line, will be deadly in a few yrs!
JD what is that shirt? Sharks colors, a hop cone, machinehead?
Man still talking about macklin when(if youve seen the game) nothing wioukd have been possible without smith
I wonder how many wins it's going to take to stop the fire Warso posts..
Skinner and Tueffoli needs to get there shit together.
Yes! I am thrilled with the win! However, going to have to rant a bit! The Sharks go up 5-4 and by God they immediately go into "protect the lead!" This is the reason they have lost sooo many games in the third period. Rewatch and you will see. They clear the puck for no reason giving it back to the Rangers. Even when they skate into the Rangers zone they purposely surrender the puck. I have watched this nonsense in losses from last year to this year. This is a planned. "thing!" For God sake quit doing this! The good teams don't do this! The Hurricanes smashing the Sharks were ramming down their throat until the end! Fix this horse pucky and you fix the season. News for the Sharks! We fans can handle a hard fought loss until the end! Just giving the puck to the other team in the name of protecting the lead? If your coaching "this". you need to be fired! Ah, I feel better! Go Sharks!
The goal tending, a bright spot last season is now a source of anxiety for me this season (and I'm not just talking about the brain farts). Way too may soft goals and the save percentages are horrible.
I'm glad the Sharks won, but I'm not really that satisfied with this game. It's great that WillMack propeled up the score sheet, but where the f**k is the defense? Still non-existent. I'm wondering if this D is even worse than last year but I don't think I'm say that cause that's a lot
Great to see will smith get his flowers he and Mack fueled this win and Mesa making plays! Now let’s build on this and get our 2nd win
Finally! And the kids leading the way! Yes!
One of the best games I've ever been to and I was at Game 7 against Vegas. The boys fought for every inch last night and we outplayed them in their own barn. Great win for the team and had so much fun partying with copious amount of Sharks fans at MSG! Also was cool to be on the broadcast with my buddies celebrating the OT winner!
Keep Smith & Celebrini together if you want to win.
I'd say Misa and Eklund, by the middle of the season will also be like that.
Or you can split the players and have the team lose.
If you think more high draft picks is worth it, and that your players aren't going to seek short contracts to move on as soon as they can.
Klingberg and Leddy being unable to play is the biggest plus to team development
