Slafkovsky lead the entire Habs team in even-strength ice time last night. Scored his first NHL goal and had 3 shots on net (his first four games COMBINED he only had 1 shot on net). Was definitely his best game yet. You could see the confidence start to come - he even tried a spin move one-on-one.

Going to be interesting to see what they do in 4 games - his play keeps trending upwards.

This kid is exciting, charismatic, determined and trending in the right direction. Keep him up and let him continue to learn from Marty as well as establish chemistry on and off the ice with Arber, Guhle, Suzuki and Caufield.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Based on his facial expressions, he's well on his way to becoming the next Puljujarvi.

 

[Jukurit]

First Liiga goal in his 17th game.
First NHL goal in his 5th game.
Liiga > NHL confirmed.

 

[Bouboumaster]

The kid is hilarious

Coyotes probably belong in Liiga level play tbh

Booom... nice rocket Slaf !!

 

[BenchBrawl]

He's getting better and more comfortable.

Hard to project, but I'm very secure he will be a Top 6 power winger at the very least. It's already obvious at 18 years old.

If Lucic can be a ~30g, ~30a assist guy a few times, Slaf can easily; he has better tools than Lucic.

PP goal tonight. The most impressive part is he is developing nicely playing on the 4th line with Jake Evans and Pezzetta. He has to work for minutes and so far he is proving the team he deserves a little more, hence his first PP minutes

 

[Koivu11]

He looked really good tonight.

 

[Xirik]

Not the type of goal I expect from him. I think most of his points will come 5v5.

 

[Noble]

Probably his best game of the season tonight. Looked real good.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Would you like me to keep going down the list and show how many 1st overall picks didn’t succeed right away? Hint:it’s very few

How many games did Slaf miss in his draft year because of Covid?

Why r u being so ignorant? They're all clearly demonstrating recent drafts have not been the same and your response is to go, "oh ya? What about these older drafts!"

No one is saying it wasn't like that in past drafts, they're saying there is a clear difference in recent drafts. Covid? Just random chance? The way the game is now? All the above?

If this guy is going to basically be Rick Nash 2.0, then sign me the f*** up!

I dunno, I don’t see the powerforward in his game, he hasn’t learned how to “bully” yet the same way the Tkachuk’s

Slafkovksy's first 2 goals have been aesthetically pleasing that's for sure.

Hellll yea!! Rick Nash in his prime was NASTY!!! One of my favorite players

 

[HabsAddict]

The Wright vs Slaf argument is dead for now...and maybe on the way to be permanent

 

[didimentionlarseller]

he is fun to watch and persistent on the puck - his long reach and size will be an issue in the league

 

[BenchBrawl]

Better than Wright.

 

[SlafySZN]

Better than Wright.

More of a special package that’s for sure.
