VIVA SLAFKOVSKY

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Best game of his career, please keep it up

 

[JadedRandom]

Tonight Slafkovsky was even better than the last two games, and finally got rewarded for it.

But he has been a quiet force in the other two games also, and people in here have been unkind with him,

 

[Jabba11]

Still think he's a bust. Almost missed that goal. All talk, no action.









Keep proving us wrong please.

I've never seen Slaf make a play like this tbh,

Look at him walking down the middle like a big boy.

Slaf and Caufield both knew what they were doing. Slaf with the accurate no look pass to Caufield who himself made that sick play. This is why its good to have three young players grow together. None of them are perfect, but they mesh together and Suzuki's the glue between them.

And it came in the biggest game of his career.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Just for future reference, when Slaf does actually have a great game or games (which should likely be tonight, given that it's game 3, Bell Center, playoffs at home).

Please spare the "OMG I told you so's" because, if anything the people who are actually being realistic about Slaf's current play should be the ones saying that to you.

We know he's still very young, we also know he's going into his 4th season, and we know based on the flashes we've already seen, we know he can do better, we know he can go a gear, or two, or 3 higher and bring out the beast and unleash that. He still at times plays too passive, too timid, he still floats around, some bad decisions, etc, etc, etc.

So when that day comes, please remember while you were supporting mediocrity and the status quo, we were supporting the pursuit of excellence.

Sanctimonious, pompous, and just corny af

That was one of his best acceleration bursts this year and strong playmaking display on his behalf.

He created that play by himself, that's what powerforwards do.

Slafsquatch!

Good to see him getting better each game.

When he passed it off and didn't go around the perimeter, but straight down the middle,

I was SHOCKED.

[Lafleurs Guy]

He and Caufield had 4 or more amazing give and go plays tonight. That pass by Caufield on the winner was amazing. They could've had so many more points tonight. Just a terrific game from both.

He was showing signs of this last year. For whatever reason, he couldn’t put it together this season. We need to stay calm with him. It’ll likely still take a few more years before we see him take off.

 

[Bouboumaster]

What a great complement for Suzuki and Caufield

Hopefully they will play together for years to come


Great game again for him tonight
Since the 4 Nations, I really like what he has become, as a player

 

[Erika]

Eat it all of you Slafkovsky haters !! Wooooooo!!
Beast mode since game 2. Keep it up !

 

[calder candidate]

He need to keep is feet moving every time he does something great happen.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

His goal was maybe the most amount of him actually skating with the puck I have seen. Nice to see he might be getting some confidence, we need him to be physical and dominate along the boards and in front of the net. Big night for him.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

The goldfish memory syndrome is in full effect since the start of the playoffs wow

 

[Miller Time]

Goal per game player in home playoff games...

Kid was drafted in part because they believed in his big game chops.

Looking like a pretty good assessment thus far

 

[Kojo]

Suzuki would be a 70 pts player without Slafkovsky and Caufield.

Suzuki benefit a lot more than them.

Slaf+Caufield would generate the same production and maybe more without Suzuki.

Exactly what I was thinking. We've seen confidence and indecision share the same space in Slaf's head throughout the season. A flash of dominance here, a deer caught in the headlights there. But tonight, his confidence took over and pushed through whatever was in his way. What a game!! I'll have what he's having...
