This intro is obnoxious
Would have been nice to watch the entire game. Just saw the highlights. Very nice start for this young team. Fun. I'm looking forward!
you could really see how Dickinson is gonna help us level up
I was one of the islander fans who wanted Misa, I mentioned to Gil from the islander pod, that Misa will have 20 point by Christmas, I envy you guys, 4 stars under the age of 21, got to be kidding me…good luck this year
Complete team win. Nedelkovic and his puck handling were dope.
Dickinson is going to be the best defenseman the Sharks have ever drafted in short order. Misa looked like he belongs and both of them look like they can make the team and stick.
Musty was ok but IMO needs a full season in the AHL. The Sharks need him to be a power forward or at least a net-front guy and that takes some work. His back check was ok but he badly needs to work on taking the outlet pass from defenders and going north through neutral ice. He didn’t dog his back checks like he would in juniors so that’s something and I’m not being sarcastic.
I was underdog impressed by Regenda who was effective and had a good number of PK shifts.
I was amped to watch the boys at the tank tonight after seeing the lineup – they did not disappoint.
Dickinson was fantastic offensively, quite well on D too for how green he is, certainly some expected shakiness under pressure but VGK sustained a lot of extended offensive zone time.
Now, Cagnoni… it's just ridiculous how talented he his. He's going to get bumped around till he grows in(you can see it in the board battles), but he really needs to be in the NHL.
Musty was fantastic, you can see the skill level is really there.
Misa skates likes he's already been doing this in the NHL. Lot's of ice time in the first two periods. He's simply not getting sent down(to the minors). Genuinely believe we struck gold with this one.
Looking forward to hopefully seeing others like Chernyshov, Halttunen, Bystedt and in the next wave.
Dont use "like" and "right" so much otherwise shows great
I know a lot of people didn’t have Celebrini as their top 3 Calder finalists. Do you think Misa, Dickinson, or Askarov crack it?
What would people think about Musty, Wenneberg and 2026 2nd or 2027 1st for Kaprizov? 🤔
Still hope the sharks finish bottom 3 this year, we are still missing a big piece, a no.1/2 RHD. Keaton Verhoff would be the last piece the sharks need….
