loved wsh 1c and if he does it again, he’ll only get better. my only thing is i don’t think he and cherny connected very well (which is weird bc they do when mack is the center) but maybe graf top line again would work better?
and if i see ANYONE talking shit about will smith after this game i WILL start crashing out. he was everywhere, he was physical, and he had our only scoring chances in the first period- that national tv glazing wasn’t for nothing.
Game that wouldn’t have made it to OT without smith’s efforts in the 1st/2nd and ivar was generating offense and frankly was quite solid, +/- isn’t everything
i’m glad mack didn’t play tonight so he could rest but also so the team knows they don’t need him to win and i feel like we all watched that realization happen throughout this game
people who don't know puck and barely/didn't watch the game are gonna look at this and shit on smitty when the truth is he was lowkey carrying that game
Will Smith was one of the more - if not only - effective Sharks in the first period. Was pretty much the only offensive threat and looked solid defensively. Not much he and Sam Dickinson could do about the 4-on-2 goal when Trouba fell at the offensive blue line. #SJSharks
