This one was a joy to write. Macklin Celebrini was finally named captain by the San Jose Sharks. An obvious choice and the perfect man for the job. The franchise is in good hands. #TurnItAllTeal #THW thehockeywriters.com/sharks-…

Ryan Warsofsky still has time to right the ship. We are only 13/84 games into the season. With that being said, if the Sharks aren’t in the playoff picture by Thanksgiving, it’s time to panic. Statistically teams that are out of it by then do not make the playoffs.

Enough Sharks bashing after a really disappointing loss to the Sabres. The Sharks play Vancouver next. They need to flush it and focus, because they simply cannot lose to this Canucks team or the heat is going to get dialed up for sure.

I’ve been critical of Askarov so far this season but I will absolutely admit he was incredible tonight. The offense failed him. The odd decision to not blend the lines for once when the Sharks couldn’t buy a goal is a chief reason they lost tonight.

It is games like this that really make me question why the Sharks were so trigger happy to extend Warsofsky before proving he can coach an NHL team with playoff expectations.

I preached patience with Warsofsky before the season. Granted, only 13/84 games in, Warsofsky has been underwhelming. How long does the coaching staff get to figure out the anemic 5-on-5 scoring? If the Sharks aren’t in a playoff spot by Thanksgiving, it’s time to panic.

Warsofsky is so quick to blend his lines when the Sharks are scoring, yet when his team has 0, he keeps his two best forwards with the most chemistry apart for 60 mins. Another game, another opportunity squandered by the coaches to figure out their 5-on-5 scoring. #SJSharks

Askarov has been fantastic tonight. Maybe Warsofsky puts Celebrini back with Smith at the end because, you know, they haven’t been able to score otherwise. #SJSharks

Sharks need to move on from Dellandrea. Takes so many penalties and adds nothing offensively. If he plays, he should only be on the 4th line.

Askarov I need that to be a save. #SJSharks

After 1 period, I loved Askarov’s game. He needs to keep that up a full 60 minutes. Loved Sherwood’s tenacity as always. Celebrini had some great chances. I sense a goal coming from him tonight. #SJSharks

Yaroslav Askarov started 2026-27 as the Sharks’ number one in net. 12 games in, it’s clear he needs more seasoning. For the #SJSharks. Until further notice, the net should belong to Alex Nedeljkovic.

If these are indeed the Sharks hometown remix, I like it. I don’t usually like the logo they use for the crest, but the jersey is solid overall. Need to see the real deal on the players for my full opinion.

Don’t really understand Warsofsky’s decision to put Dellandrea anywhere other than the 4th line. #SJSharks

We knew Stenberg would eventually get a look with Will and Macklin. Sharks are kinda thin right now, doesn’t seem like optimal timing to try this out…

Celebrini has truly been a gift for the Sharks. Sharks fans deserve a captain and leader that cares this much.

Kiefer Sherwood is so nails. He is such an integral part of the new Sharks identity.

It’s good to see Misa grind through it and begin to feel himself. Sharks are gonna need him to play like this moving forward.
