Slafkovsky is frustrated with himself. He needs to chill out a bit & just play. Kid is super intense. I think MSL just wanted him to calm down a bit.
Yea sure demoting a player who is frustrated for not putting up points to a 4th line will definitely calm him down..

Marty is a joke

Good team win.

They were passing well, everyone seemed involved in the play. They forechecked well too.

Big props though to the defense. Finally got shaken up and looked its best all season in my opinion. Still work to be done but looked good.

Like I said during the game Guhle playing on his strong side and with an offensive guy in Barron they seemed to compliment each other decently.

Hutson and Matheson had a few wandering players but found they were moving the puck well.

Xhekaj seems to be in a good groove plain hockey, hitting at the right time with not crossing the line. He’s shutting down guys and just overall his game is rounding out the last few games. If any change I expect Savard in for Struble and pair Savard with Xhekaj. Nothing on Struble, just Savard’s spot seems guaranteed. Pair them together for the next bit and right these defence pairings.

Both eyes and stat told me Kirby had a decent game.

Yeah it was Slaf who struggled in this one. o_O

Pretty sure it was his reaction after. Yes, he f***ed up a play, but not so bad he deserved 4th line.

Instead, after his f*** up he skates back to the bench & yells, FXXXXXCK so f***ing loud, you can clearly hear it through the TV. He also snapped his stick in half.

Crazy thing is SN replays it going into commercial break, so you hear his long, shouted f*** twice!

I want them to put Slaf back on his off wing. He's much more comfortable there for some reason.
