Welcome to the Club

-

     I first really started paying attention to hockey last season when a couple friends got me into playing fantasy hockey. I had some ties to the Sharks at the time, so they came into place as my favorite team. 

    I didn't know very much about hockey, but one of my friends let me know there was a special prospect on the Sharks. He wouldn't let me know his name, but when he drafted him in our league I knew exactly who it was.

    Macklin Celebrini was quite good last year. As my hockey knowledge grew I quickly found out the Sharks had something special here. And he's put it together this year, playing as a top-5 forward in the league.

    I think I'm the biggest Macklin Celebrini fan in the state of Texas. We have the Stars, but I'm a Sharks fan, and always will be. And Macklin Celebrini is my guy.

    I started this blog to me the 'fan club,' per se, of Macklin. Welcome to the club! Let's talk some hockey.

TEAM CANADA, HERE WE COME!

-
      I was unsure if I was going to continue writing this blog, but I figured that if I made it I may as well go through with it.     A while ago now, Mack Attack was added to Team Canada's roster for the Winter Olympics. He will be laying alongside the likes of Connor McDavid, Sydney Crosby, and Cale Makar, to name a few. Apparently Sidney asked Macklin to play on his line during the Olympic -- now that's respect.     And it's respect well-deserved, as Macklin has amassed 72 points in 48 games this season, on track for a season over 120 points if he keeps this pace up. He has led a notoriously bad Sharks team into playoff contention for the first time since 2019. This kid is something special.     I cannot wait to see him play in the Winter Olympic for a stacked Team Canada. Best of luck to Macklin and to the Sharks this season.

End of the Preliminary Rounds

      Unfortunately for me, the NHL app doesn't have the play-by-play or broadcasts for the Winter Olympic games, but I have been paying attention to the scores.      Team Canada is extremely stacked this year, and have won all three of their preliminary games against Czechia (5-0), Switzerland (5-1), and France (10-2), en route to the Group A title and bye going into the qualification playoff round.     Macklin has had an incredible first three games, scoring four goals and two helpers; his six points are second in the entire tournament behind Connor McDavid's nine (two goals, seven assists). Needless to say, the 19-year old Celebrini has been a force in this Winter Olympics for a Team Canada to be feared moving forward.      Unfortunately, highlights are difficult to come by and I'm too lazy to look (lol), so I'll just show what Connor McDavid has to say about playing with Mack Attack:
