Shit. You never want to see an OHLer get injured like that trying out the NHL.

Much less injury risk and much more time with the puck on his stick if he joins Mesar and Beck in the OHL versus going to the AHL.

Where is this coming from? lol

The same place the Free-Dumb convoy and 9/11 conspiracies came from.....

It would not surprise me I mean I like the energy and honesty but it is 4-0 that a bit over the top and that first star interview was a bit cringe saying how he laugh at the other guy, I feel like you can celebrate all you want but when you start openly $hitting on other player it is weird. It also indicate that there a little more maturity required.

100% he's too green he needs to mature

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I knew that hit to his head looked rough…damn.

According to Xhekaj, it's a wrist, but minor. He let it slip in interviews tonight.

Wristbrokesky

He clearly didn't get hit in the head on that play, I have no idea what people saw there, he had the time to protect himself.

 

[Ryan O'Byrne]

I guess he shot so hard he hurt his wrist

 

[David Suzuki]

I assumed he was hungover

 

[calder candidate]

I assumed he was hungover

That might be a even better explanation haha…
Player are ding up all the time
We have Pitlick and Pezz sitting you want them to have some game
Maybe they want to stretch the 9 games
It could also be a combination of these thing. I still think he should be send to the AHL so he can play 1st line minutes.

Unpopular opinion? He’s progressing every game. I’d hold off until he stagnates or contractual decisions need to be made before assuming he’s getting sent down. I feel the better coaches and linemates may be around him already. His energy coupled with Xhekaj’s the other night was unprecedented since the last cup for me.

Code for: You can't celebrate like that in the NHL, we need to punish you but we cant make it obvious we are.

Not allowd to say “Xhekaj kills people” on the live mic or and scream at opponents to f*** off” I guess and then bloat about it on the news.

I personnaly love it, but this is a game weirdly marketed at kids although ultra violent and he also needs to be careful to not get run.

Slafkovsky plays a heavy game with some speed and skill. His absence last night against a big, fast Stars team was felt. As long as this kid progresses, it makes little sense to have him play against inferior competition under lesser coaching.

Nope CAF

Hi, yup, and seeing the guys stick up for each other and running people over is what hockey used to be about loving it.

Hey anyone knowlegable - what counts as games played (wondering about the “max 9 games” before a first contractual year starts). Does a player have to be dressed? Do injuries count different?

It's 9 actual games played where the player is dressed and in the lineup
