F Juraj Slafkovsky - TPS, Finland U20 (2022 Draft)

[Kshahdoo]

Any chance you can venmo me a few million in reparations for ‘68

Why don't you ask Germans about it? They were the main force behind those events...

Well, it happened they all didn't do anything vs Team Russia U16, which destroyed them all (19-1 in three games), despite being the youngest team at the tournament.

Yes, that was disappointing from our side. I think our players played much below their potential. Also the couch said that the guys had too much respect from Russia.
We will see maybe in 2 years how these guys will perform but definitely this year (2004) has potential to be competitive against top 5 hockey nations. It is all up to guys, they need to work hard on every training, on every shift in game. I wish them good health and the result will come sooner or later.

Mighty Russia smash tis weak prospects!

You mean that "weak" prospect who is far the best U16 scorer in U18 league in Finnland? hmm

This thread shouldn't skip to political or Russia national team discussion. As you know, it is never ending discussion that will only spam this thread.
Let him (and the others) ignore and focus to Slafkovsky.

I didn't comment to any politics. I agree we should focus on Juraj in this thread.

After 2 games pointless, he goes 2+2 today

Ridiculous pace. For example Joakim Kemell who I've seen on some 2022 draft rankings as high as top 10 has 16 points in 19 games this season. Kemell is playing on JYP's second line which is still very good for his age but Slafkovsky is carrying TPS' offense.

Any chance we can see him play in Jr. A this year?

He will play with u17 team in tournament, although I believe he would be more impactful than most of the players selected for u18 team

I think, he will get his chance also in U18. Maybe already in February.

I think there is no hurry, this is international level and he is still playing for U17 as underager.
In case he will still be dominating in U17, he can be called to U18 on other tournaments.

2+1 in TPS 5-4 loss

Will he play for Slovakia at U17 tournament in Kazan?

Yes, he will.

1+3 in today’s win for TPS

1+3 in today’s win for TPS

it seems he was hungry for hockey after break

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

His 1.30 PPG mark is the 10th-best in modern U18 league history among U16 players with over 25 games. Currently ahead of names like Kakko, Puljujärvi, Kuokkanen.

2004 is looking awesome.
