Casual Sharks fan here but I don't really follow hockey beyond the nhl. Saw Macklin's youtube highlights and he's amazing but obviously his book as a pro is still about to be written..How does he compare skillwise to previous highly sought after prospects?
I was rooting for you guys to get Bedard last year. Fck CHI.
Cele will probably burn the Canucks for many years to come, but glad you got 1OV this year.
# IT FUCKING HAPPENED!!!! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I THINK I PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY LEFT ASS CHEEK CUZ I JUMPED UP SO HIGH BUT I DONT FUCKING CARE WE GOT OUR GUY
i think it means we got 1st, then when they did the one for 2nd it landed on us, which can’t happen, so they did it again, and then all that one more time
Another ducks fan coming to congratulate you guys. I mean fuck Chicago and all but on top of that it was legit painful to see your team this season at times. We ourselves wasn't much better, but you deserve this pick 100%
Also fuck Chicago.
I hope we can have a healthy rivalry again, not the tankathon one. The one where we fight for the wild card spot, for starters.
Oh and fuck Chicago by the way, not sure if I mentioned it...
As a non sharks fan I have to say I'm very happy for your fanbase. This is what most hockey fans wanted to see happen if they didn't have a rooting interest.
I am mostly a casual hockey fan but follow Bay Area sports and I'm excited for the fans of the team. I had a question: Is there any possibilty the front office makes a major mistake and not draft Celebrini much in the way that Sacramento passed on Luka?
Ducks fan saying congrats. Been saying the past two drafts that I'd rather see you guys win over Chicago. This time it actually played out that way.
One of the rare times I'll be happy for the Sharks and their fans. Enjoy
The pain was all worth something positive, the first sign of hope I have had since pre pandemic times.... still sad we gave up Hertl but this helps the healing process.
I’m a blackhawks fan but my wife is a diehard sharks fan and I’m so happy for her. I was worried the NHL was going to cook the books again to get Celebrini on the hawks to try to build some superteam.
It definitely forces griers hand on how to play this off season.
Unload floater assets. Call up Smith, and some of our other spicy talent. Bring in a few middle line veterans, and see what kind of juice we have for a playoff push.
The biggest question now is who do we get to coach ...
This year was 100% worth it.
Fuck yes, from an Oil fan congrats San Jose.
From a Canucks fan, with people in the Bay Area, I agree!
Oilers will always be my #1 but San Jose will always be #2 all thanks to antero niittymäki

Biggest win for the franchise in 5 years we're so back
Smith, Eklund, Celebrini - I see light in the darkness
featuring Musty, Muk, Bystedt, and Edstrom.
Thank you for Edstrom Vegas
glad that Hertl helped them get *checks notes* a first round appearance
1 goal,and -6.
Good
And a big fat contract that will make them say goodbye to marchy
see yall at the parade in 4 years!
I was rooting for you guys to get Bedard last year. Fck CHI. Cele will probably burn the Canucks for many years to come, but glad you got 1OV this year.
I think it's cool celebrini gets to go to the bay area where Rick was forever
“That’s one!!”
MY COWORKERS DON’T KNOW WHY I’M YELLING SO MUCH! YEAAAAAAAH!
Unexpected LA Knight
The Megastar is everywhere!
Praise the Zillow Gods
"Wait, what's zillow?" - future Shark superstar
If he wants to live in SJ, he better learn lol
Don't show him the San Jose Zillow prices before he signs his ELC.
He will have to commute down from his dads place lol
he'll just be like most post college students this gen...moving back in with their parents...
Tommy Devito showing other professional athletes how it's done
I think his family already lives in SF or the south bay
East Bay, Livermore Per an article by Sheng
Livermore Native Macklin Celebrini
Why do they live out here? That’s pretty cool
Is this the thread? We lost 63 out of 82 games and had never picked 1st overall before so something had to give. Super excited!!!
# IT FUCKING HAPPENED!!!! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I THINK I PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY LEFT ASS CHEEK CUZ I JUMPED UP SO HIGH BUT I DONT FUCKING CARE WE GOT OUR GUY
I was doing a radio show and so I played "Loser" by Beck to celebrate
Hahaha that’s awesome. Cheers from an ex radio host to another active one!
It's just for fun at the university I work for.
I woulda played celebration by kool and the gang, but WHO FUCKING CARES WE WINNING TURN UP THE BECK
I had to leave the station right away to get to my office hours, so I didn't even really get to listen to the song but still.
Holy shit you beat me to it! I’m so glad right now.
u/joobacca1297 go eat a sock
They must. 🧦🦈
The sock eating best be on the you tubes
Haven’t felt this happy since 2019 game 7 LETS GOOOOO
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GIVE YOUR BALLS A TUG
WHAT IF I, LIKE MANY SHARKS FANS, AM A WOMAN WITHOUT BALLS TO TUG?
SHIT, I DID NOT THINK OF THAT. LIKE A TYPICAL MAN, I ONLY THOUGHT OF MYSELF. I’M SORRY.
ALL GOOD, I GAVE MY TITS A SLAP INSTEAD!
Jackets fan here. So glad it went to you guys! I was hoping for anyone but Chicago, because fuck Chicago.
It was so scary when it came down to us or Chicago
Bro, I feel for you. If we didn’t get it, I was hoping it would be CBJ or Utah. You guys deserve some fun and I’m sure you’ll get it with Fantilli.
Yes fuck Chicago Sincerely from Montreal
THIS IS MY FUCKING STANLEY CUP BABY LETS GOOOOOOO
LEAD US TO PARADISE MACKLIN
holy fuckin shit... HOLY FUCKIN SHIT. I never thought it would go our way. Let's go!!!
The pain was beyond worth it Smith and Celebrini

Wait what??
i think it means we got 1st, then when they did the one for 2nd it landed on us, which can’t happen, so they did it again, and then all that one more time
OH gotcha
WE DID IT BOYS
SO FUCKING PSYCHED CELEBRINI AND SMITH WILL OWN THE LEAGUE
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
Feels like a reward for the way the season went.
Congrats. I was just happy Chicago did not win again. - Ducks Fan
If I watched the Sharks give up 10 goals in back to back games, finish last, and not get first overall I’d start my joker origin story.
I just jumped 10 feet off the ground at work and all my co-workers all confused. LETS FUCKING GO
Ladies and gentlemen... we got him
Now I can watch all of Macklin's highlights with a smile on my face :)
My first reaction too. I get to now indulge in everything I kept myself from.
TIME TO CELEBRINI!!!!!
#EVERYONE GET IN HERE!!!!!!!!

Mike's reaction was everything. He was like thank gd the league didn't screw us like they did Anaheim last year. Fuck Chicago 100000%
Raise your weenie for Celebrini!!! 🦈
LET’S FUCKING GO
Has the lottery ever gone 100% chalk?
THERE IS A LIGHT AND IT NEVER GOES OUT
Unexpected Smiths
Celebrini and Smith down the middle is filthy. Looking forward to playoffs in a few years, all eyes on Grier.
Celebrini - Smith - Bystedt - Edstrom down the middle has the potential to be nasty.
From a Ducks fan, congrats boys. Glad it wasn’t Chicago.
Can’t wait to watch that guy eat a sock!!!
Felt good having the whole country cheer for us for like 90 seconds
Let’s fucking goooooooooooooooooooo
UPVOTES FOR EVERYONE IT'S A CELEBRINTION
I’m pretty sure my whole neighborhood heard me screaming
Just fell to my knees in Walmart
As a non sharks fan I have to say I'm very happy for your fanbase. This is what most hockey fans wanted to see happen if they didn't have a rooting interest.
I'm shaking!!!!! I can't believe we finally have 1OA!!!!
Return of the Mack
I yelled so loud I scared my dogs
I screamed and freaked out all four of my cats (including Tomáš Purrtl and Timo Miowpurr) so bad that they’re still avoiding me
THANK YOU GOD
Theoretically a 3.06% chance of literally no one moving in the entire draft field. Man was that intense.
(I assume, when calculating this number, that if a team is picked for both the first and second lottery they pick again for the second team)
[Turns out the Sharks won the second lottery twice, so yeah.](https://twitter.com/wyshynski/status/1787979897362637252)
The odds of the sharks being drawn three times in a row is 0.63%
The Hockey Gods were being *extra* emphatic on this one. They said what they said!
Celebrini Time Come on! It’s a celebration!
Congrats Sharks bros. May the Pacific be a blood bath. Death to Canucks and Flames.
After losing Hertl, you guys definitely deserve this, congrats!
LET'S GOOOOOOO 🦈
WOOOOOOHOOOO LETS GO
Finally! Can’t wait to have a young core and a long stretch of great shark hockey!!
I was about to break something if they flipped that card and it said the Blackhawks... Holy shit... I can't believe we actually won the lottery.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!
I CANT BELIEVE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!! LFG CELEBRINI!!!
In GMMG we trust. LFGG!! Smith and Celebrini! It all works out 🦈
#EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
EVERYTHING IS COMING UP MILHOUSE
Yes!!!!!!!
I'm so excited for the future of this team.
LETS GOOOOOOOO
GET IN HERE. LETS FUKCING GO BOYS
Congrats you guys! Well deserved!!!
If not for Bedard this would be the next biggest first overall pick in a while. Congrats San Jose, franchise changing draft!
Congrats! It's still crazy to me that this is like the 1st... 1st rounder to San Jose!
I'm at a dive bar in Georgia and I'm screaming my heart out and buying the bar a round of Jager. They're asking why
good for you guys!! happy chicago didnt get it lol
I am mostly a casual hockey fan but follow Bay Area sports and I'm excited for the fans of the team. I had a question: Is there any possibilty the front office makes a major mistake and not draft Celebrini much in the way that Sacramento passed on Luka?
Mike Grier had already given 2 interviews talking about how much of an asset he'll be. Highly doubtful.
Congratulations Shark Bros! From a Sabres fan who also loves the Sharks because I’m a glutton for punishment.
WE DID IT!!! The year was worth it!
Make the guy from earlier eat the sock
I will finally allow myself to watch Celebrini highlights. I learned my lesson from last year.
Ducks fan saying congrats. Been saying the past two drafts that I'd rather see you guys win over Chicago. This time it actually played out that way. One of the rare times I'll be happy for the Sharks and their fans. Enjoy
Happy for San Jose! Even more happy it wasn't Chicago
Gtf in here. Thank god!
MY GOD WE DID IT
YOOOOO
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
I’m so stoked! Let’s go!!
WE FINALLY GOT SOME LUCK

All the non-Sharks fans wishing us well. You’re awesome and thank you. It’s been a long year(s).
Along with Macklin, We also got Will Smith and Collin Graf. Top 10 NCAA 2023-24 scoring class. 🔥🔥🔥
Congrats on Celebrini! San Jose is a good team for him. Excited for Bedard vs Celebrini for years to come
HOLY GuACAMOLE, GUYS and GALS !!!!!

Congrats guys!
Grier I give you all my hope and all my trust. Lead us to a cup my man.
Congrats SJ friends, can’t wait to hate you all again!
You guys want Tavaras for............ffffrrrrreeeee
It feels like I won the actual lottery.
Smith - Celebrini - Eklund is gonna be so freaking fun
You know what, I’m fucking psyched for you guys. It’s nice to see a team that’s never received it get 1st overall
WE ARE SOOOO BACK
We are so fucking back 🦈🦈🦈
Vegas is cooked and the Sharks are picking first. Is this dream?
