Will Smith Breaks Out And Mackenzie Blackwood Shuts The Door In San Jose Sharks 3-2 Win

[@GrahamSlam]

I don't mean to brag, but the Sharks are undefeated when I'm in attendance this year. Also Smith is on pace for 164 goals in games I am at.

[@LockedOnSharks]

I think he does it.

@GrahamSlam same here! Go sharks

Will Smith told Dan R BEFORE the game he was going to score tonight.

[@davecomstock9544]

And even told him he would score **in the first period**!!

Blackwood shut down the Black Hawks in the 3rd period. Blackwood played well tonight.

The thing that impressed me most about Will Smith's goals was that he drifted into open space and made himself available to receive a clean pass and take an uncontested shot. It reminded me a bit of Jonathan Cheechoo's Rocket Richard-winning season, where he would go into what I called "stealth mode". Even though other teams watched hours of video on him, during that magical season he would still casually drift or push away from the opposing players in the slot, take the pass -- usually from Jumbo Joe -- and fire it home. I know Smith is primarily known as a setup guy, but if he can continue to find open ice after the other teams study him, he could become a real problem to defend against: a sniper who can also get you to overcommit and then make a perfect pass for a shot or tip. It's going to be fun to watch as he learns to adapt his hockey sense to the NHL game!

Smith's first NHL goal was better than Macklin's

[@rocknroll368]

Jake Wahlman is more fun to watch than Eric Karlsson.

😳🤯 Woah

[@LockedOnSharks]

Let's calm down.

[@graB92]

Will Smith has scored twice as many goals as Celebrini this season. Where are the haters now? 😂

[@thexa7q]

Are you having a stroke?

[@zacknelson8918]

The zetturland penalty at the very end was bull crap I think the refs tried to rig it

[@LockedOnSharks]

It was a pretty clear puck over glass and Zetterlund didn't try to fight it.
