Not realistic. That’s like asking Caufield to score every game, or Montembault to shutdown the opposing team every game, or Hutson to always be on the scoreboard.
He will have high and lows but if he can constantly apply himself and play a physical game while being a 60/70 point player he will be a difference maker (maybe that’s what you meant).
Another game where Laine got to go on the PP to produce because Kirby and Newhook are slacking.
Demidov can't come soon enough.

When slafkovsky gets involved he's hard to stop from getting chances. Glad he scored tonight. He's a smart player but he has to recognize that he's capable of bulldozing his way through a shift in a way most can't.
I don't know if we can expect this every shift every game but he needs to understand how being physical at the right time is also a use of hockey IQ. I think slaf often overthinks things but I find once he's engaged he plays with more "flow" and makes him more decisive and assertive.

Slafkovsky was a beast! Nice fight.
Montembeault wasn't great on the 2 goals, but played well after that & shut it down.
Xhekaj was getting into Stutzle's face all game. Loved it.
Something is up with Suzuki. No way he is this slow. That breakaway he was insanely slow. Earlier this season, he doesn't get caught.
Ottawa drops to WC2 and are holding onto a playoff spot by the skin of their teeth. They're tied in points with 9th place Columbus, but have more RWs.
Montreal is 5 pts back.

Love seeing how close our boys are with each other.
If Stutzle wasn't such a pansy diver, i would actually appreciate his game. But he does it all the time and refs are onto him. Its why Xhekaj was allowed to abuse him all night.

I did not watch you game but according stats Laine was terrible in 5v5. And I think he will be not good to the end of the season. So much injuries and mental problems have their consequences. His little time was because of it.

He never was a speed merchant tho (Suzuki). Don’t know how his weight affect his game but 207 for a 5’11 is quite heavy for a hockey player. Maybe he could get faster but he does have a heavy shot and tough to move.

Struble played left-side & looked much better. He had a good physical game. The D all played between 17-23 minutes. They rolled them.
They were tough in front of the net, which I liked.

''Juraj you said you wanted to play like Tkachuk, but who was your model growing up?''
''Patrick Kane?''

Yeah, not a speedster, but he could get a good burst of speed going. He seems to have lost that burst, but he's slow right now all over the ice.

I guess tonight he was paying homage to the Big Red Machine instead''Juraj you said you wanted to play like Tkachuk, but who was your model growing up?''

Monty made some big saves late to stop Ottawa from getting momentum.
Slaf took a big hit, but beat up Greig. Guy can't hit and always throws the arms up

Next week's schedule is not very hard. Hope the team can come out with 5 pts out of 6.

Slaf could have had 2 assists tonight but both Caufield and Suzuki couldn't finish!

makes them think twice about taking another penalty, their edge players lose their edge.
