    Not only are we so blessed to see this team turn the page and start building a true super team of homegrown drafted talents a la Warriors in the early 2010s, we’re also blessed to have Professor Hockey cover it all for us.
    Truly - thanks so much Professor. You’re a gem 🙏🏼

    As a longtime Sharks fan since 1991 I have had the pleasure of seeing every Sharks rookie from Pat Faloon and the great Ray Whitney to Smith and Celebrini and I have to say that I am a big fan of both rookies this season especially Celebrini, in fact I am wearing my 71 shirt right now as I watch the video. To me Celebrini is the real deal every time he is on the ice with his work ethic, his defensive play and you can tell he just has that look on his face and attitude about wanting to win every face off to winning every puck battle to chasing down someone from behind to strip the puck before they could score a empty net goal, this kid at 18 is the real deal. I am very proud of our young Sharks and I know that our near future will be bright again soon.

    Thank you for this professor you are the only person i genuinely like who covers the sharks being in SJ im used to JD Young and Sheng Peng and both of these guys are very biased you are very blunt and to the point but you show very little bias and I appericate that about you content

    GREAT stuff Professor! It is easy to be so spoiled by Celebrini that we as fans can be 'disappointed' with Smith. Glad to hear that you are seeing the development along with the skills that make him such a strong prospect to begin with.
    I was going to request a Prospect Pool update.....so VERY VERY excited to see that it is in the works. I can't wait to hear about the rest of the pool....and keep up the great work.

    "Anyone who can give Mario Ferraro a goal is doing something right" had me rolling so damn true

    Great info on Celebrini's faceoff ability compared to past players, such an overlooked aspect of the game. If Smith can get 25-30 points I'm fine with it, above 30 I would be ecstatic.
    Looking forward to seeing your video on the other prospects, especially Dickinson. I wanted Buium but I'm thinking they made the best pick in terms of physical talent ceiling between the two players.

    The ONLY first overall pick in Sharks history was the best possible timing to pick up Celebrini. The hockey planets were in alignment for San Jose in a good way for a change...

    Nice breakdown professor!

  • @kenjackson6256
    @kenjackson6256 День назад

    I believe the key to Celebrini's two-way game is that he started playing hockey as a D-man and moved to center, the opposite of Burnzie who went the other direction...

    It’s gonna be a curious year for smith and the upcoming draft, if he spends the rest of the year on wing and the sharks have a top 4 pick in the coming draft, i think they go BPA no matter what as it should be when you pick that high, so if it’s misa or hagens i would assume that could make smith a permanent winger, as for macklin, he’s a stellar player right now, as the team around him gets better and he gets more comfortable i dont think its a stretch for him to be a selke level player capable of going well north of 100 points.

  • @zaeith2669

    Thanks, Professor. I don't know that I could see Ferraro as Captain oh the team. Maybe he's big character guy off the ice--he definitely works hard on the ice. However, from the games I've seen, his play-choice and decision making seems weak for what I would hope from a solid captain. Am I out of line here? Do his stats compared to other NHL defensemen support this?

    • @professorhockey
      @professorhockey  День назад +1

      No you’re right, he’s not particularly good, but some teams don’t necessarily choose their best player as captain. The Winnipeg Jets currently have Adam Lowry as their captain, he’s pretty good, but more of a third liner for them. Sometimes you go with a guy who works hard and is good in the room, even if they are not good on the ice.

    Nice video. Good point about the guys still just being teenagers. IMHO that added to the egregiousness of Utah boarding Celebrini, just a brute move against someone who is still a kid on some level. Yes it’s a tough game at the top level but very dishonorable. Looking forward to next season already for these two!

    • @professorhockey
      @professorhockey  День назад +1

      I’m even looking forward to the second half of this season, hoping for fun times!

    Really enjoy your breakdowns. Not only great individual analysis, but fantastic building of context. Askarov next? Looking forward to it!
    The future is, of course, teal. Well done!

      I will be talking about Askarov in my upcoming prospect update video!

    Goals and assists right now aren’t important for Smith. For him it’s playing positive consistent hockey with confidence. The points will come, but being confident with that swagger out there is what will make or break his career

    • @professorhockey
      @professorhockey  День назад

      From what I have seen of his post game interviews and such, he seems like a very confident player, even when things weren't going so well.

    Could you give us some chalk talk lessons. Perhaps what we should look for on breakout patterns. Also faceoff alignments...

    • @professorhockey
      @professorhockey  День назад +2

      Its a little difficult to do a “chalk talk” segment with the format in which I do my videos because it requires clips of plays and really good editing, both of which I don’t have haha.

    • @cousinit718
      @cousinit718 День назад

      @professorhockey maybe draw one or two on the white board...
