September 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cBeat LA\u201d chants, raining from the rafters.<\/p>\n
Even in 4,329-seat Tech CU Arena, even in just a Rookie Faceoff game\u2026<\/p>\n
This resembled Sharks hockey, two decades ago, when San Jose was a Western Conference power and Los Angeles was in the basement.<\/p>\n
Imagine the real thing, coming soon to SAP Center.<\/p>\n
Ivar Stenberg, 2026 No. 2 pick, heard the small-but-boisterous home crowd, after his first (Rookie Faceoff) goal in a San Jose Sharks uniform.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old smiled, when asked about imagining that reception, but multiplied by a hundred at SAP Center.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a cool moment,\u201d Stenberg said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCooler\u201d moments are coming soon, Ivar!<\/p>\n
More Than Celebrini\u2019s Buddy<\/p>\n
Carson Wetsch is sending a message.<\/p>\n
Wetsch, who grew up with Macklin Celebrini in North Vancouver, has been best known among San Jose Sharks fans as Celebrini\u2019s childhood friend.<\/p>\n
The 2024 third-round pick, set to make his pro debut with the San Jose Barracuda this season, is so much more, as he showed on Saturday, scoring two goals and two assists, and adding a fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a huge thing to show what I\u2019m all about,\u201d Wetsch said, \u201cand I think I\u2019m starting to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The big and fast winger knows his identity, clear from his choice of on-the-ice role models, Tanner Jeannot, Tom Wilson, and\u2026Joe Pavelski.<\/p>\n
Jeannot is a physical fourth-line winger who\u2019s topped double-digit goals just once in his six-year career.<\/p>\n
Wilson has 30-goal hands, but he\u2019s also one of the most feared hitters in the game.<\/p>\n
Pavelski?<\/p>\n
\u201cJust his tipping stuff,\u201d Wetsch said, \u201cI definitely like to watch that net front.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wetsch knows how he\u2019s going to step out of Celebrini\u2019s shadow on the ice. Can he do it?<\/p>\n
Gasseau Pumped by Karmanov Fight<\/p>\n
McCarthy Impressed by Musty & More<\/p>\n
McCarthy liked Musty’s fight, but he loved Musty blocking shots: <\/p>\n
“We’re working on the defensive reliability. <\/p>\n
“As far as the fighting stuff, I don’t know if we really want him doing that too often. But it does show that he’s committed to standing out, trying to do something\u2026<\/p>\n
