"Inside the SAP Center on Friday night, the noise wasn't just loud; it was the sonic equivalent of a jet engine engaging its afterburners. The Sharks, a franchise that has spent the better part of this decade in a hibernation so deep it bordered on comatose, aren't just awake. No, they're chugging Red Bulls and crushing the empty cans against their foreheads."
"It took all of seven minutes and 37 seconds for San Jose to hang three goals on the board on Friday. According to the Sharks, it was the fastest fulfillment of the Free Tacos promotion in franchise history. I've seen microwaved burritos take longer to heat up than this Sharks offense did in its 3-1 win over the Rangers on Friday."
San Jose produced an electrifying home atmosphere as a young Sharks lineup erupted for three goals in the opening 7:37 and secured a 3-1 victory over the Rangers. Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith and Colin Graf all registered points during the early flurry, marking the fastest three-goal start since 2011. The team's youth functions as an offensive weapon, featuring audacious playmaking, blind backhand tape-to-tape passes and full-ice breakouts that destabilize opponents. The broader rebuild is accelerating beyond marquee names, and the team is giving 18-year-old Michael Misa more shifts.
