Great class tonight, Professor. Personally, I had my eyes glued to Kovalenko and was extremely impressed with his play both offensively and defensively. His vision is impeccable. Like Celebrini, he made things happen tonight. He found his teammates with small windows for error; like that assist to Walman. Defensively, his hustle spoke volumes. Head on a swivel and played physical. I love what Grier has brought to the table. In Grier we trust. Go Sharks!
great breakdown on holiday sweater vs inflatables. holiday sweater is definitely narrowly better, but the "still dre" esque piano of inflatables is great and i can't get "when the sun comes up, my boys go limp" out of my head. also macklin is the second coming of gretzky. see you next class professor
Awesome breakdown as always, professor -- I watch all your reviews. Also your "professor hockey"-style breakdown of the holiday songs was fantastic: I feel your style of detailed review could translate well beyond just hockey!
Cool to see Georgiev win his first game as a Shark. One of my favorite tennis players is the Bulgarian, Grigor Dimitrov, who has arguably one of the prettiest games in all of tennis. I really do love this team and am happy that Macklin has come so close to having a couple of hat tricks this year.
Thx Professor, win or lose this was a fun game to watch. This recent trade is starting to look good, the sharks are on an upward trajectory. Spot on about Walman, one must admit the man can skate and move the puck
Loved Kovy’s game! Totally made that first goal happen off the forecheck and what a pass to Walman for the gwg. Totally froze Binnington, excited to see if he can keep it up. Also in all seriousness I love doing the holiday music video this year just from a team building perspective. You know they had a blast making it and it’s one of those things that can really help bring a team together in what’s still going to be a tough year
The line shake ups Deff worked out and they came out with a great spark to set the tone..Macklin fer sure has an impact on tha Sharks play when he’s in than when he was out..can’t wait for Pickles and Smith to enter the lineup and see how we can keep this energy rolling 🫡🙏🏼👌🏼🔥🔥🔥🦈🏒
The new additions are looking good! Muks looked solid, Georgiev looked much better than expected, and Kovalenko with 3 points in his second game? NOW, with Vlasic returning, where does HE fit in the D?
I would imagine they are looking at a potential Vlasic-Rutta pairing, which I personally don’t want to see. Hopefully Mukh can keep this spot for a bit
Hey Professor, That might have been Maclin's best game so far which is saying something. He is at the 20 game mark in his career now and is almost a point a game AND playing solidly defensively, on the forecheck and in the face off circle. Very impressive. If there is a hockey hell Professor and you wind up there it might be your curse to play on a line with the current version of Vlassic and Rutta. hahaha Great way to wrap up the trip. Pete Clovis, CA
My hockey hell is watching a Rutta and Ferraro pairing constantly rimming picks out of the zone but it keeps getting held in at the blue line for all of eternity. Scary stuff
What do you think of reuniting the Lund line, and having Kovalenko-Celebrini-Smith as a second line when he comes back? Kunin-Wennberg-Toffoli looked very good when they were together
If he was to come back for next game, I think they might keep Kovalenko-Celebrini-Toffoli, then depending on if Kostin is healthy, we could see Kostin-Wennberg-Smith
The Sharks Inflatables video was a scream. MC Randy?? and lyrics like: Everybody knows that player's undateable That's why he bought himself an inflatable Ugly Sweater was a classic, but...
So I guess we won the Blackwood trade? Kovie looked amazing tonight. Guys got a ton of compete on the boards and hustles to pucks. He looked great with Celebrini. Georgiev looked decent as well. Aside from the third period the whole team was looking pretty strong. Also can we please get Muk a better defense partner 😂
Sorry prof, not agree on your assessment of our first line! Kostin has been very effective powerhouse for the Sharks in the last few games, Granny was also good, they consistently had been creating offense and just didn’t connect couple times unfortunately 😢 Zetterlund just can’t help himself and always playing with energy and grit.
I can't wait for the Sharks to call up Dickinson. Maybe not immediate 1st line, but the kid has way more potential than any of the current Sharks D men

Very insightful class thank you professor
Great video professor
I want to believe Eklund’s demotion is more of a message to everyone else and that expectations for him are higher than mostly everyone else.
Perhaps that’s true, it’s not the first time it’s happened this year.

@@professorhockey Hahaha I thought Vlassic had a place in there too? hahaha
Ya know, that Celebrini kid might have a future in this sport...
I think I have to agree with you here

I'm down for it. That leaves us with Kostin - Sturm - Dellandrea as our 4th. I can see Warso running that for a game or two
If he was to come back for next game, I think they might keep Kovalenko-Celebrini-Toffoli, then depending on if Kostin is healthy, we could see Kostin-Wennberg-Smith
18:15 are you saying "pop" up or "prop" up?
Pop up
kovelenko arguably the first star. interesting to watch his game
The Sharks Inflatables video was a scream. MC Randy?? and lyrics like:

That's why he bought himself an inflatable
Ugly Sweater was a classic, but...
They went pretty risqué this time around, or maybe we are reading too much into it
You mean R$? Lol
Reminded me of a Barry Goldberg rap. 😂
🍺👍🏽
God we should have never claimed goodrow.
🫠
Goodrow has iron mitts but he had a terrific diving stick poke tonight that stopped a great shot on goal

So I guess we won the Blackwood trade?
Kovie looked amazing tonight. Guys got a ton of compete on the boards and hustles to pucks. He looked great with Celebrini.
Georgiev looked decent as well.

Story of the sharks season so far, looking pretty solid for 40 minutes and looking like a peewee hockey team for the rest of the game
@ Yeah they absolutely have to get better at continuing to play well when other teams push back
Sorry prof, not agree on your assessment of our first line! Kostin has been very effective powerhouse for the Sharks in the last few games, Granny was also good, they consistently had been creating offense and just didn’t connect couple times unfortunately 😢 Zetterlund just can’t help himself and always playing with energy and grit.
That’s fair, I will say they had some moments to get something going, but were struggling to connect on anything as you say.
I can't wait for the Sharks to call up Dickinson. Maybe not immediate 1st line, but the kid has way more potential than any of the current Sharks D men
Well it won’t be this year, maybe next one though!
Who is this Celebrini kid? He looks like the Youngest Player in the NHL.
second youngest by 2 months
@I thought I heard Randy Hahn say Youngest, who’s Younger?
