Macklin Celebrini reflect on favorite moments from the season
The San Jose Sharks finished with a lackluster 20-50-12 record this season, although Celebirni put up a decent showing with 25 goals and 38 assists in 70 games for his team. During the season-exit interview, the youngster was asked to reflect on his favorite moments from the season.
In response, Celebrini mentioned that he best enjoyed going on road trips with teammates and bonding over team dinners.
“We had a couple fun road trips where we kind of bonded as a team and got together,” he said. “And had some team dinners where—I mean that’s—that’s kind of what it’s all about. Just, um, you’re in it with the guys in this locker room and to be able to go bond like that and have some fun, um, I think that’s really important.”
He then pointed out that the team had a lot of close losses and trouble finishing games. He mentioned that he believes they need to focus more on smart puck play, better defense and just finding ways to win next season.
