GDT: Game 28: Calgary Flames vs Montreal Canadiens 12/12/22 7:00pm EST SN, RDS (HD), TSN 690

[Rapala]

Atta boy Slaf just like that.

 

[Tyson]

Ok Slaf...back to the 4th line

 

[badfish]

Been waiting for one of those Slaf passes to connect

 

[No More Subban]

Maybe Slaf is a center. He loves to set up guys

 

[Riddick412]

Nice pass yes, but smooth by Andy getting open between 3 idiots.

 

[Pomee]

Ladies and Gentlmen, Mr. Juraj Slafkovsky, The Playmaker!

 

[ReimanSum1908]

It's not a sin. It's just an indication that he's not a shiny new toy anymore.

Every single coach is proclaimed an idiot by this message board eventually. It's as certain as death and taxes.

Just as every star and prospect inevitably becomes a talentless and heartless bum, no matter what they've accomplished - or what they've yet to accomplish.

See Suban, Pacioretty, Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Drouin, Kotkaniemi. Mccarron (future "Lucic-crusher"), etc.

 

[vlady]

yeah, Slaf showcasing that poor hockey IQ there

 

[The Great Weal]

Danault is 29 years old.

People cry he doesn’t shoot enough then he starts shooting more and then people craps on him when he does shoot.

Don't see why age is relevant here. Both are not good goalscorers. People are crying about his poor goalscoring abilities and that has yet to change. He's got 4 playing with those two.

 

[DAChampion]

Beautiful interception by Harris.

 

[Redux91]

Nice pass Juraj!
He's been having a heck of a game

Good for Andy

 

[yianik]

Ahh, Slaf stickwork and pass there. MSL may want to think about Slaf seeing some PP time. He created that goal.

 

[Runner77]

 

[Kennerback]

My favourite point ever by Slaf. Using his body to get into position. Steps towards the net. Perfect pass.

 

[26Mats]

Beautiful interception by Harris.

In a perfect system for dooling out points on a goal, Harris gets an assist on that one.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Easier said than done. More cases of "well he can improve, he's got so many qualified people to teach him!" rather than actual improvement. Wrist injuries don't help.

I'd rather see him become a great net front/below the goal line presence cause when all is said and done, dude won't have many chances to shoot on the powerplay. As for 5 on 5, getting to the right areas requires IQ and if he's has great goal scorers as linemates he can become the quintessential playmaker and if that allows players to give him more space, he can always drive the net. Dude has good hands

 

[StCaufield]

yeah, Slaf showcasing that poor hockey IQ there

One play doesn’t make him Crosby

 

[The Great Weal]

"Hey that's Hoffman/Pezzetta/Armia/Dadonov's job Slaf! Told you to focus on even strength game before trying to get points"-MSL

 

[Deleted member 257557]

Anderson and Slaf work so damn well together, can't wait until Monahan is back

Msl will give Mony Dadonov and the Hoff

 

[Redux91]

3 hits that shift for Xhekaj lol

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Nice vision by slaf

 

[Schooner Guy]

Terrific poise by Slaf. That should keep the usual naysayers quiet for a day.

 

[The Real Timo]

Msl will give Mony Dadonov and the Hoff

It's a promotion.

Doesn't strike me as the type to drive. Again, a Voracek-like production is possible but I'm not counting on it.

 

[yianik]

True, but he should skip over Armia at least.
