SJHN Daily: Smith’s Banana Bread Thanksgiving Hit, Celebrini Jr. Shark Pics
On Thursday night, the San Jose Sharks had their annual Thanksgiving dinner, which was hosted by Tyler Toffoli and his wife, Cat.
Ahead of the dinner, Ryan Reaves revealed that he had been tasked with carving the turkey. Meanwhile, Cat Toffoli shared on her Instagram story that the most popular dish was Will Smith’s chocolate chip banana bread.
Smith and Collin Graf were excited by the prospect of a “turducken” heading into the dinner, however their opinion on the three-bird mashup remains unknown at this time. On that note though, Tyler Toffoli was not happy with his turducken attempt:
Saw Toffoli as he walked into the SAP Center this morning. Asked him how the turducken went. He says not well and it’s the last time he’ll try that again 😂 #SJSharks https://t.co/LbbFhbVxMF

Pissing and moaning about cellies but ESPECIALLY tendy cellies is soft. Skill issue. The shootout is a joke, and places even more silly pressure on goalies, if they want to cut loose after doing the real work of a skills competition, just let them.
Agree with all of this, with the one caveat that there is a certain performative nature about everything this generation of players does. Like is “let’s go!” the only celebratory phrase they know? What ever happened to fuckin right? But that’s a different gripe. A gripe of the prematurely aged and Instagram weary.
Compared to what NFL players typically do after scoring… or making an interception… or tackling someone, this seems like a pretty benign celly. That said, I’ve really grown to appreciate former Lions RB Barry Sanders: no end-zone celebration, no spike, just hand the ball to the ref and act like you’ve been there before.
I’m with you on the “let’s go!” thing as well – it has run its course.
I guess I don’t mind a big
celebration if it feels organic and unique, that’s just become real tough these days!
That celebration was awesome!
Even at 13, Mack was skating & puck-handling with his head UP! Can’t teach that!
Thankful to live in a time to be able to watch this kid.
Who knew Will Smith could bake?
Apparently Smitty possesses elite NHL vision as well as elite banana bread game. Wonder if the recipe is getting leaked? lol
Pavs looks like he’s circling a career on the senior tour, maybe Will’s retirement plan revolves around eliciting a Paul Hollywood handshake.
Why no Asky and Orlov at these events? I see other Euros there, maybe just not into it?
