[Video description: Tara Slone rinkside interview with rookie San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini ahead of the Sharks' home game against the Chicago Blackhawks on 2025 March 13. Tyler Toffoli can be seen sitting in a vaguely frog-like manner on the ice near the bench, appearing to be stretching his adductors.
SLONE: Macklin, you've been watching Connor Bedard for a lotta years now. What do you admire about his game?
CELEBRINI: I mean, he's a super skilled forward, um, creates a lot of offense, so, yeah. He's just a great player. (NOTE: not 100% sure if the last sentence here is accurate)
SLONE: What makes him hard to play against?
CELEBRINI: Uh, I think he's just—his creativity, his, his ability to move the puck, and also his shot; it's incredible, so.
SLONE: You guys have had a lot of games where you've come close but haven't been able to eke out a win; what do you have to do to get it done tonight?
CELEBRINI: I think just—I mean, focus on every period, every shift, just kinda take it shift by shift, and, um, not get too ahead of ourselves.
SLONE: Mack, have a great game.
Celebrini skates away and the video ends.]
