San Jose Sharks Veterans STRUGGLE as Red Wings Capitalize – Smith & Celebrini Shined

San Jose Sharks’ veterans struggle as the Detroit Red Wings secure a 4-2 victory, raising questions about leadership and the team’s postseason trajectory. Are the up-and-coming stars enough to shift momentum—and will management shake up the roster as the trade deadline approaches?

[JD Young] offers sharp analysis on the breakdowns that cost the Sharks crucial points, highlighting John Klingberg’s costly turnovers, Alex Wennberg’s misfortunes, and lackluster play from Tyler Toffoli. On a brighter note, Will Smith returns from injury with high-impact minutes and a goal, while Sam Dickinson’s growth on defense and Yaroslav Askarov’s clutch saves provide hope for the future. Get insights into Ryan Warsofsky’s tactical adjustments, significant line blender moments, and lingering power play concerns as the Sharks look to rebound against the Panthers and Lightning.

Can the Sharks’ dynamic prospects drive a resurgence, or will veteran missteps stall their progress in the fiercely competitive NHL landscape?

  2. Just a reminder we shouldn’t be close to as good as we are, let Celly and Smitty +1 and misa + cherny on the 3rd.. I follow Grier he will bring us to the promised landed

  4. Klingberg look like he just did not want the puck and wasn't even trying in the last 3min of the game. I would have rather have Orlov or Dickinson there.

    Also, can anyone show me the stat where it os better for a player to play wothout a stick than going to the bench? Everyone does that but I'm really not convince

  6. Dickinson, Iorio and Desharnais are the only guys on the blueline that I'm interested in being here next year.

    Orlov has some great games but also has games of just turnovers at terrible moments.

    Klingberg either gets rid of the puck immediately without any thought or direction as soon as he's pressured or loses the puck to whoever is pressuring him immediately regardless of where he is on the ice. Defensive zone turnovers when pressured ✔️. Offensive zone turnovers when pressured ✔️. Inability to keep the zone when pressured ✔️. I was never on the "klingberg I owe you an apology" side but rather on the "Celebrini can even make klingberg look viable" side. This guy's gotta go asap.
