Crazy that the big guy is already a vet

 

[Canadienna]

Still the youngest guy on the team. That was a sweet pass on the PP for our only goal.

He looked like he was hesitating a bit, but I loved how he was laying the body early. I still get the impression he doesn't realize what he's capable of sometimes. He'll figure it out.

I felt like he was getting ahead of himself. He's being a little overconfident in maintaining possession, and he's getting his play killed because he's jumping to his passing options before securing the puck.

Montreal, I can go shopping. Like, if I go grocery shopping back home, I probably take 25 pictures. Here it’s more diverse, different types of people from different parts of the world, so not everyone knows you. In Slovakia, everyone knows you. In a store, the girl that sells you stuff knows you, if you go clean a suit they know you there, if you go buy a book, she knows you. It’s not like that here,”

If this is true, there is something wrong in Montreal country, isn't it? I always thought, to play in Montreal and be a star means, you cant go shopping at all.

Btw... Why is he surprised, that everyone in Slovakia knows, who is he. When he jumps everyday in some tv advertising... You see billboards with him....

That whole line was still shaking off the rust, some moments where the skill and chemistry stood out, but a lot of mistiming, and rusty handles.

That PP pass to Coco was a thing of beauty

 

[Hannibal]

Small PP adjustement:

I would put him on the wall instead of Dach. He can set up but he’s much more a shooting threath than Dach.

Dach would be solid down low, around the net presence.

 

[Tyson]

That cross ice pass he made was amazing.

The tone has changed from last year at the same date.

While Roy is still on the Charles Hudon highway getting closer to the Scherbak exit.

Par for the course indeed

Hudson had 9 AHL games at Roy's age.

The pass was as equally impressive as the one timer by Caufield. Slaf zipped it at him and it wasn't a perfect saucer pass either.

It's about time CC converted on one of his setups. Last year was brutal... Slaf set him up so many times and it didn't go in.

Looking forward to seeing what Slaf can do. I think he has a shot at 70 points.

Point per game, ~85 points.

That would be sweet. I need him in the pool. I missed out on Caufield by two picks but I did manage to snag Slaf.

 

[Skip Bayless]

He's way below my projection of 114 pts. Hopefully he picks it up.

 

[Andy]

he looked off yesterday, but just as off as Nick and Cole. Despite that, he made the key set up on the Cole goal, had a legit scoring chance in the slot, and had another set up later in the game.

This year will be a learning curve in consistency and in terms of being the target of other team's best players who now know what he is capable.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Kyle stay away from Slaf you weirdo

We might have another Pierre McGuire situation here boys..

His mannerisms, accent and voice remind me of nail yakupov and that hilarious wjc interview

Slaf is 100x more likeable but tell me I’m wrong

Didn’t the line only play two preseason games? The last one being September 28th. It’ll take them a few to get going.

Mad hops

 

[boompuffboom]

Slaf going up to Ek-L. when they were being a giant douche

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah.. Caufield scored two goals but even his timing has been off on a few looks.. but Slaf and Suzuki have been pretty miserable out there most shifts.

We know what they can do, but the way the pre-season went for that line has set us in a position where they aren't executing very well.

The whole top 6 looks like they've never played together before.

That’s what happens after a bad training camp where the good players played 1 game lol…

And it takes longer for bigger guys!

 

[Tabarouette]

You know, i've said before i'm a converted Slaf fan but I won't lie, the 1-2 punch of Slaf looking real absent/lost the first 2 games and switching over to Celebrini looking real good his first name really rocks me to my core

this team is pain

 

[Team_Spirit]

Big if true

Two games in and the sky has fallen. Slaf is still a beast. Chill out everyone.
