This is becoming a HUGE problem...

This is becoming a huge problem for the San Jose Sharks as they can't get any scoring besides Macklin Celebrini as he keeps putting up multi-goal performances, multi-point performances, but keeps getting left by the wayside by his other teammates who can't put goals in the back of the net. In this video, we're going to break down everything about Macklin Celebrini's early success and some players that need to keep producing for this team to be successful this year you're not going to miss this episode of sharks digest for diving everything here just want to say we're on the road for 4,000 subscribers on the channel so if you're new here you want to stay up to date on the latest news around the San Jose Sharks we're home for it here on YouTube also we will be live again tomorrow night uh for the watch along against the Ottawa Senators that will be a fun one as well so let's dive into it here guys first we got to talk about the main guy and that's that that's Macklin Celebrini, Macklin Celebrini has been so good here to start the year for the San Jose Sharks I mean the numbers are there right we just got to take a look at this list because the numbers here are crazy look see the goals for when Celebrini is on the ice 50% when he's off only 30% so half the time Celebrini is on the ice a goal is going to happen that's a crazy stat and 33% when he's off is not good those numbers need to come up we see an expected goal percentage when he's on the ice at 50% as well 37% when off the ice then his shot attempts 56% when he's on the ice and 43 just you see in the numbers here that everything is being produced by Macklin Celebrini and we need other players to step up on the other lines to help this offense go even further than what it can be we've seen some instances of this in the last game but we need to keep it going if we want to win games here and then we can't just be doing it late in games uh you know when we're down so let's talk about that but seeing Celebrini's averaging a lot of ice time for Ford he's got 23 minutes on ice a night right now and has been a reason to the Sharks obviously uh early success here obviously he was a driver in the comeback win just last just last night or the night before if you're watching this the next day but yeah it's great to see him uh you know obviously take this role and Ryan Toskala said we're not scoring right now we're getting some good looks though so basically saying yeah we're we're making the chances we're getting the good looks but we're just not scoring and you need the puck to go into the back of the net if you want to win hockey games and if you want to be a playoff team i think last game against Montreal this team really showed a lot of heart that they can battle back and that's something that we can carry in momentum going forward and I think it's really going to help a lot of these guys start to get going and you know get get kicked in the gear here because we need a lot of these guys on the second and third line creating offense like Macklin Celebrini and getting these numbers of when he's off the ice at 30% up to near the 50% number as well because that's just what we need at this point and obviously someone needs to step up generate chances when Celebrini's there to create a second reliable scoring line because right now we really don't have any you know it's random guys and you know every now and then like was Meza last last game right and with Sherwood to Meza but you know you never know who's going to create offense you need someone to be to be solid here on this line and last game was the first time we seen the Stenberg Meza and Sherwood line connect all season so hopefully that's a sign of things to come going forward. Another guy who needs to step up here is Will Smith. He needs to drive more offense. I know a lot of chances he's had this season. He's been shooting the puck well, but just hasn't found the back of the net. Seeing his shots have gone up, he's gotten more confident over his last five games, averaging about four shots a game here now. So that's great. So hopefully we can see him carrying that momentum going forward for this team. Looking at his finishing right now, it's below what we expected. His goals are below, his shooting percentage is below. So we need to get that up for Will Smith to start having a good season here for us and start, you know, obviously helping us going forward. And since playing with Chernyshov and Celebrini, of course, the goals for against goals against have been better. The three goals for, two goals against at this point. So that's great. You know, we see these guys have improvements with a new player on their line. You see it compared to Marchment. They were only one goal for and three against. So this line has been better. And as they play more together and build more chemistry, I have no doubt in my mind that Will Smith will be a great player here this season and will step up and score a lot of goals here this season because the shot's been there. He's just really not finding the back of the net on some of these shots where he should be scoring. And, you know, we've got to drive another threat. Attack dangerous, ice more often. Create chances instead of waiting for Mack and keep productive shifts going beyond the special teams. I feel like we have seen some solid games from Will Smith. It's just we just need him to start being a more consistent scorer like Celebrini because we can't just have him being the backpack and, you know, putting us all on his back and carrying us all season long like he did last year. We need guys to step up and fill the roles that Celebrini, you know, is doing right now. Obviously, you don't need to be a 100-point player, but if you can step up and be an 80-point player this year, a 90-point player for this team, Will Smith, I definitely think that will be a good year for us. But Tyler Toffoli must sustain his support as well. If we kind of look at the breakdown between Toffoli and Marchment right now, the two veteran guys, Toffoli's beating them at points a game, shots a game, points per 60, and goals a game. Their goals a game, they're tied at this point. So, you know, we kind of just need a little bit more from Marchment, I think, from what we've seen from obviously he scored in the last game, which was great to see. So hopefully that creates some momentum for going forward because, you know, after that first, he scored in the first goal of the game that went on a big drought, but he's been picking it up, you know, in the last couple of games. Hopefully we can see that coming forward. And Tyler Toffoli, I think, has been our best secondary scoring piece off the top line all season long. So we need our younger guys to step up, help these veterans out in time of need. And looking at Toffoli's chart, he's above average right now for goals and shooting percentage as well. Same with Marchman. So we just kind of need these younger guys to step up right now and really help us out because we're going to need it. Going down the stretch here, trying to make the playoffs. And obviously, we're still battling here early on to try to get our first regulation win for us. And hopefully that will come tomorrow night. So we'll see Toffoli touches in scoring area, use Marchman around the crease, generate offense beyond celebrating. We just need this third line of Marchman, Toffoli, uh and Wemberg uh to be good obviously it was crap last game because Wemberg was out due to injury but i do like what i've seen out of this veteran third line to be honest or second line i guess whatever line we're calling it but i do think i i really do like this line and i think we're going to see a lot of offense through these guys i think they finally found out what line combinations work it's just building that chemistry and getting better game in and game out michael Misa must build on his first goal right we we had a slow start to the year but now he gets his first goal ties the game up in a crucial point against Montreal which led us going to overtime which is great and we ended up winning that one in overtime which is great but celebrate what Misa right now four points one goal three assists so hopefully we can see him build on this we'd like to see him have a way better season than he did last year he's building on it right now so hopefully we can see him come out next game get another couple points up on the board and really you know cement himself as a great second line center for this team or even third line center whatever we saw He's got him shifted at right now. But I do think that, you know, obviously this line, like I said, Stenberg, Misa, and Sherwood has the makings of a great line. Sherwood's looking really great with the young guys, and I definitely think they're going to build on something. As soon as they get some chemistry down, Stenberg, Misa, and Sherwood are going to have big seasons for us. It's just a problem right now. Right through the first couple of games, we've been relying on Celebrini heavily like we did last year. The guys just need to pick it up, take a little bit of the load off Celebrini, and we'll start winning more games going further. me right now Misa below average though below average while we expected him in the shooting percentage and his goal total so hopefully we can see him pick that up and looking at the Sherwood Stenberg line we see like their one goal for four goals against which isn't great but like I said the chemistry that these guys have right now it's going to lead to success going further so I don't really want to read into this on this line because I really like it and I think it's going to be a successful one for us going forward but I want to hear your guys thoughts down below in the comments section who do you think is going to step up for us who's going to be the secondary guy this year it's going to be uh it's going to be Will Smith is going to be the veteran kind of scores do you think they're going to kind of pick up the slack this year or do you think it's going to be the young guys like Mesa uh and Stenberg as well let me know what you guys are thinking down below love to hear all your guys thoughts and everything we talked about today but yeah it's a big problem hopefully it'll be fixed going forward and like i said we'll be back live tomorrow night with another watch long stream against the Ottawa Senators it's gonna be really fun to watch with you guys so if you enjoyed it leave a like subscribe and channel as always i've been host KC you're still gonna get it
