Crazy… he’s barely 18. What a cool guy
Celibrini seems like a really nice, well spoken kid. With that in mind, a thought from this interview: It's sad to me that almost every kid that makes it to the NHL comes from a rich family now. At least the Canadian kids. Just listening to him talk about his upbringing, and the opportunities and support he had. And I don't begrudge him, or his family that. I'm working hard in my life so that my (future) kids will have it better than I had it. So I'm not trying to dismiss his talent or work ethic, or what he's parents did help get him where he is today. That's the goal, what else do you work for if not to support your family and give your kids opportunities. It just strikes me that you don't hear about too many sons-of-plumbers or mechanics or other working class, or even middle class, families anymore. Hardly an original take from me. Hockey Canada knows the affordability of this sport has been an issue for a long time that just gets worse and worse. And now with summer ice, year round special coaching and skills development for the kids, it's just widening that gap. Have to think that there's a huge untapped pool of potential superstars out there who's parents just can't keep up. Just was pretty striking listening to him talk about his upbringing and family (and he's far from the only one). But again, seems like a very grounded, well spoken, nice young kid, which is a credit to the family as well.

Not a single soul in MTL is worried about that Slaf contract. If you watched the games this season you know. There is no stopping this kid from now on. Hockey Iq question was valid before I understand but it's really gone now. After christmas with the first line he was spectacular, all analysts who hated him were in shock and amazed by what we saw game after game after game.

Great player!
thank you for covering the Sharks Spittin' Chiclets you guys are the GOATS for interviewing Macklin go sharks! love this channel keep the haters coming Ra!
Buffalo is so happy for our former players, especially Okie!
Tampa has a history of ruthlessness. St. Louis , Vinny, Sergichev, Yanni.
The sharks should trade for Askarov. He fits the time frame of Celebrini, Smith, Eklund, Musty, Mukuhmadullin and Dickinson! I would trade Bystedt, Endstrom or Bordeleau.
You guys provide the best NHL coverage. Love it!
Ocpo is a beauty
Full timestamps??? Never thought I'd see the day, much appreciated!
So happy for Okie. He was a great piece and energy for the Cats
Jake Guentzel has to score at least 50 goals next season to show he can take Stammers spot. Those are mighty big ass skates to fill.

Honestly after watching this it's hard not to come away super impressed by Celebrini. Incredibly intelligent kid, he will be a star in the NHL. As a Habs fan it's so exciting to hear the way he speaks about Lane Hutson.
We see ROR has listed his summer house outside Goderich for sale. Probably not needed now his season is going to be a month longer!!
Glad Okposo got one, well deserved. can we get a Thornton interview for his official retirement this year!

The Habs’ biggest issue used to be player development but a lot to be positive with St. Louis leading the way
Okposo played like every shift he wanted to outdo his last one. Kind of like doing push-ups where you say "im going to do one more than the most I've ever done, and then you do". I felt like he played his heart out and he didn't score, but he really did grind the other team down. He was way more effective than numbers can show and I was glad he was a part of that run.
I don’t think it’s much of a gamble on Slaf. I can tell yall don’t really watch Montreal at all because Slaf had something like 43 in his last 50 games.
Lightning fan here, so pissed about the Stamkos situation. Stamkos through 16 years has made our franchise relevant and led us to 4 cups. JBB has no doubt pissed us fans off first with the Jeannot trade and now Stamkos. Not to mention the pathetic tribute video they gave him
The amount of ads during this show is sickening

RA thinking Zadorov needs him as a personal liason to the city of Boston is a bit pretentious. The year of the Warthog fizzling out in flames.
3x8?! a 3x8 is the type of deal I'm offering dudes in NHL franchise mode lmao.
I hear so many comments from people saying oh Hutson won’t be able to do that in the nhl and then Celebrini goes on to say oh I won’t bite on that head fake but he did he basically said you can’t stop Hutson from doing what he wants on the ice
The Okposo!
Y’all need to get Quinn hughes on here
Love it lol, “RA any cool players picked in the draft?” “Yeah Thornton Celine Dion and three piece suits are back”.
Funny to hear no one showed up for the parade. Rain or shine Edmonton would have shut the city down.
Tampa and Vegas moving on is a great example of looking purely at numbers/age and not trusting your eyes. As good as Guentzel is expect Tampa’s power play to take a major hit without Stammer
