The San Jose Sharks put Macklin Celebrini on IR over the weekend and lost a competitive 2-0 game to the Anaheim Ducks. Start with the Celebrini news and why it's not worth panicking over. Then, despite the loss, the Sharks look like a much more competitive team thanks to their third line, setting the tone for how they want the team to play. Analyze the numbers behind the game and how the Sharks played well despite not getting the production. Also, examine how William Eklund, Mikael Granlund, and Tyler Toffoli dominated the Ducks, and Will Smith's lightbulb moment is coming soon. Finally, the San Jose Barracuda opened their season in Ontario with a Yaroslav Askarov shutout and by blowing a lead very late.

Also, review Ryan Warsofsky's decisions in the third period to try and defend a lead with veterans instead of trying to spark the offense. Finally, explore the analytics of the game: how the forward lines performed, which defenseman played the most, and Mackenzie Blackwood's night  Check out the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

With the preseason officially done and the regular season a few days away, what did we learn about the San Jose Sharks as we try to set expectations for the 2024-25 season? Start with why this team will still struggle to maintain offensive zone time based on the play at 5v5 in the preseason. This should improve as the season progresses, as new players like Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, and Tyler Toffoli build chemistry. Next, the power play is set up to be the team's strength because of the added talent, especially if they can build off the success from last season's end. Finally, while not the glamorous of tandems, Vitek Vanecek and Mackenzie Blackwood should be one of the Shark's strengths this season because neither one wants to lose their job to Yaroslav Askarov.  Check out the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.
