You haven't called anything. You've downplayed a developing player and are now trying to save face when he's stepped it up in the playoffs.

As has been said for a long time now, it's a marathon not a sprint. He's going to continue to improve and those earlier posts will just look more and more foolish as time passes by. And that will be true whether he does well in the rest of these playoffs or not.

Just eat your crow.

With Slaf it he just has to keep is feet moving carring more momentum really create a synergy speed, size, and skills by skipping is biggest weakness the first 2 steps

In a couple more years he will be able to do just that. Improving all around and be even more explosive.

They said they drafted the player who they think will be the best at age 22 and so far he's trending to be that guy.

He’s learning how he needs to play to give himself enough time and space. He’s starting to slow the game down. This bodes very well for our future

Slaf scored against the Caps.

Nemec scored against Hurricanes.

On the same night. Friday, April 25th 2025.

Their 1st NHL playoff goal.

Slovakia represents. The Slovakian bromance.

lmao. I called it.

Slaf playing bad > Normal posters not angry their player wasn't taken instead > He just needs time
Slaf playing good > See? We told you!

Slaf playing bad > Boring posters who repeat themselves ad nauseum but think they're contributing > Low IQ slow player who isn't physical, so and so who I totally wanted at that draft is better.
Slaf playing good > Wow, why are people poking fun at me, I totally want him to succeed. If I gaslight enough maybe someone will believe me.

:facepalm:

these posts are weaker than Slaf's trash talking game.

When in a hole, some posters stop digging while others go seeking a bigger shovel.

I love Juraj and that's why I never post in this thread

He's still a toddler, inconsistencies are ok, when's he's on he's already a handful

So what if he's not an elite 1oa slamdunk type talent? That's not on him. He's a huge part of one of the best 5v5 line in the league since 4 nation and he'll get better and stronger.

He's not completely wrong... put a scrub like Newhook on Suzuki's line instead of Slafkovsky and Suzuki doesn't get 89 points this year. He'll be closer to 75 points imo. Slafkovsky is that important on this 1st line.

They're all important, but I think Suzuki is currently the best of the three.

No wonder Habs fans aren't respected on the main boards. This is almost cult level.

Exactly.

But apparently if you don't have 100% blind faith in him, and say he's playing great when he actually isn't, you are against him.... and then when he is playing good, if you say he's playing good... well damn, drink your HaTeRaDe and eat your CrOw. lol

Why do you care about being respected on the main boards?
Click to expand...

I didn't say I cared about anything. I just said I kinda understand it more. We aren't very critical about our prospects in general at times, we're just like RAH RAH RAH, which is well and fine, it is what it is.

I just think it's okay to be honest that there's a lot of work to be done and things will take time.

Knowing things will take time doesn't mean we need to pretend either though.

I gave him props for his play last night.

Bunch of posts, seems like you missed them.

LOL

This is ah, not giving him "props" tho bud..

The fact that you think it is , is the very problem everyone here keeps trying to make you aware of

The real question is just *why exactly* do you dislike him so much in the first place?
-simply wanted somebody else? That's fair if the case, but own it
-just plain don't like the way he plays?, which is fair, but what is not fair is treating him like a finished product at this time
-orrrrr you just don't like that EVERYone else for the most part likes him and wants him to do well? And you just want to be different? (Which you're totally allowed to be btw, just own it is what we're saying)
