just a goofball
this kid will be great just based off of his name alone. thats a hockey name if i've ever seen one
He’s definitely got room to improve on with his skating, but I don’t think it’s a weakness. Once he gets going he’s pretty quick due to his long strides and he has good acceleration. His agility is probably the weakness of his skating but than again he is just growing into his frame and that will certainly improve with coaching and work. Skating was one of the big things he worked on in the off-season.How is his skating at that size? Skill looks very good.
He’s been playing third line LW recently. I expect him to start the season there and move up the lineup as he progresses. Hard to know since TPS lineups were constantly changing during CHL gamesAny projection yet as to where he will start the season within TPS lineup???
Terrific size I noticed him last year at the World JuniorsHe’s been playing third line LW recently. I expect him to start the season there and move up the lineup as he progresses. Hard to know since TPS lineups were constantly changing during CHL games
Healthy scratch today in TPS first league game.
Gonna be very interesting to see what happens. The U20 league won’t challenge him to the extent he needs, and bottom 6 time with TPS men’s team sporadically won’t help either.1+2 for TPS u20 today
Great observation right thereTPS u20 has lost first two matches in u20 league. This year the SM U20 liiga will be drastically cut (from 20 to 12 teams) after first 19 rounds. So maybe this is the reason why TPS put Slafkovsky and Knazko to U20 team, to help collect some points, to be safe...
He's up to 225 lbs now , standing 6'4 at 17 years old. What a massive kid...
I think he was pretty much the same size. I don’t think Lindros was at least bigger than that. A really massive and interesting player you Slovakians have in Slafkovsky. I’m usually a fan of big sized and very skilled players. I usually like them more than small speedsters that the NHL is having more and more nowadays. I will definitely be rooting for Slafkovsky doing very well in Liiga and hopefully becoming a true NHL superstar in a few years.How massive was Lindros in his age?
I know everyone wants to see him regularly in the TPS Liiga lineup but I think what people are forgetting is Slafkovsky only has 24 games experiance in the u20 league. Only 18 games last season including playoffs. He was good but didn't exactly light up the league. It's not the case of the player who has dominated but been stuck at that level for years and played 100 + games.
Making his Liiga debut tonight, 2nd line RW.
