This is one game lmao. Watching him play is mind bending. I genuinely don’t know if I’ve seen such a dominant force as a kid. Some young stars have offense, few have defense, some can do zone entries or win puck battles, some back check and forecheck well. but this kid does it all and he doesn’t really have off games and if he does he is still one of the best and most noticeable players on the ice in all 3 zones. Talented, consistent, competitive. You can’t compare him to some of the greats just yet but as far as 18 year old seasons idk if seen this before.
No, I love Beds but Macklin is and has always been the more complete player. Hes also more of a shooter than anyone expected. But the way he’s handling pro men at 18 is crazy
@@OhYaSure Was leaning more at the support the surrounding cast has been providing Celebrini compared to the bums Bedard is dealing with. Crucial for early development
I think he is less skilled than bedard, but he is more NHL ready... aside from having a two-way game. If he is Crosby, than Bedard is like Ovi when comparing style. A playmaker two-way forward compared to a sniper. And two-way players win you cups. But we'll see.
@@Xavier-016I think they have a very similar play style, I’m a sharks fan but I don’t think one is better than the other, macklin gets the whole team involved and it makes them better as a squad and therefore makes macklin look like a great leader, bedard has the same mindset and does the same thing, but I feel like the blackhawks rely heavily on him to produce and don’t pick him up and make him look as good. That’s just my opinion tho
He's way more complete than Matthews. Matthews is a better scorer but he doesn't have the 200ft game Mack has. Mack is more a Toews/Kane/Bergeron hybrid.
@@CanadianBongRipper Temu? He's even more complete than Crosby at the same age, honestly. Crosby was already a dominant offensive force though but as 18 year olds, they're on the same tier. Celebrini is 1st in puck battle wins, 1st in controlled zone entries per game (over McDavid and MacKinnon), top 5 in 1v1 dekes completed, highest clocked speed for a u23 player in the NHL right now. He's also hovering around 50% faceoffs. The kid is unbelievable.

I don’t think I have either I completely agree, kids gonna be HOF if he stays healthy
I am beyond excited for the full mix. Thank you for your hard work!
That power play sequence is insane 🤯Celebrini is must watch TV. This video actually does his game justice.
Big shout out to Grier doing a great job turning things around. Win or lose very exciting team to watch.
Best 18 years old rookie since Matthews and Laine
Kid is the TRUTH!
Seems more complete than Bedard at the moment but may just be a matter of circumstance
No, I love Beds but Macklin is and has always been the more complete player.

@@capnn yeah i mean Celebrini gets to work with greats like Luke Kunin and Barclay Goodrow
Celebrini is what you get when you combine Toews and Kane.
big joe hockey IQ
He looks good
🔥 🦈 🏒 👍
Reminds me a lot of Matthews
He's way more complete than Matthews. Matthews is a better scorer but he doesn't have the 200ft game Mack has. Mack is more a Toews/Kane/Bergeron hybrid.
@3lackavar ummm...what? Lol
To me he's like a Temu version of Crosby. Really similar game
