I love slaf , but maybe someone has to show him videos of tkachuck , as he surely ain’t at Brady level of intensity for preseason let alone a playoff game

 

[Mrb1p]

Laine is our 3rd most physical forward, love Pat but thats f***ing ridiculous.

 

[Demigod]

Can't Stand slafkovsky, he's useless, should be benched.

 

[Andy]

Came to write that this game feels very winnable, but in doing I see that this board is on the edge a meltdown lol.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the habs keeping up the pace. Just gotta figure out how to get shots through all the shot blockers on the caps

 

[Erika]

I don’t think it’s a coincidence Demidov looked the best his first game.

And what do you mean by that ?

 

[sheed36]

Caps finishing every check. Just scoring a goal this game might be considered a win at this point.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

The puck watching is a legit problem, maybe Washington will let the foot off the gas in the 3rd and we flip the momentum

 

[dinodebino]

Ostie pu capable the TVA Sports and it’s only the 2nd period. Allllllllll about the Québécois playing well. f***ing annoying AF.

 

[sampollock]

Slaf you size would help

 

[Schooner Goon]

Team would play less scared Less liberties with Hutson, Caufield and Suzuki. But don’t take my word for it, read the quotes from teammates about his value either as deterrent or defender

I asked if you think we'd be winning this game with Arber in the lineup.

 

[le_sean]

Slaf has to push the defender into Thompson there. Stir shit up

 

[HabsMD97]

Slafkovsky can't make a play, can't shoot the puck, can't hit a guy, a fish out of water

 

[Whitesnake]

Hey Slaf...... you're 6'4" 230lbs FYI.

Yeah maybe...but there's no bike involved....that's the only thing he can hurt.

 

[Natey]

Slaf has to be better .

Someone needs to kill his cat or something, lol.

Very good player. Very skilled for his size. But he's like the jolly green giant. He needs to get mean. He could be one of the most dominant players in the league if he ever finds it.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

People blame size but I feel our most physical players tonight are our smallest player. The issue is not size, the issue is that our larger player play like p***y. Laine, Slafkovsky for instance.

 

[CauZuki]

I cannot stand to look at Slaf. These are the NHL playoffs, bro.

He's 21 and has 2 periods of NHL playoff experience , can we temper the expectations a bit?

 

[Tyson]

Slaf needs play his size. He is playing like the smallest player on the ice.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

You can't draft big guys and expect them to develop that dog.

Guys like the Tkachuks, Wilson, Leonard, etc. were all clearly maniacs when drafted. We don't have that kind of player.

 

[zx81]

Commercial break with 34 sec to play is pretty stupid

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Hey Slaf...... you're 6'4" 230lbs FYI.

Seemingly 0lbs of brain

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Really hate Newhooks headless chicken act. So much useless skating

 

[Team_Spirit]

Switch goalies it's probably 1-1 you guys in panic mode

Get the next one ghg ~~~~

 

[CharleyHorse]

I cannot stand to look at Slaf. These are the NHL playoffs, bro.

His first, I think, right??

 

[austin316]

Slaf is just not him. Disappointing.

 

[Whitesnake]

Slafkovsky can't make a play, can't shoot the puck, can't hit a guy, a fish out of water

1st playoffs. You have to hope that it's a learning experience.
