Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

[HuGo Burner Acc]

I don't even think he had a relatively good game and he was still one of the best players on the ice

 

[The Great Weal]

Needs 21 points in the next 28 games to have 50 on the season, it's definitely doable.

 

[MeanMugging91]

35 points in the season would have been excellent based off of last season but with the way he's played the last 30 games (even when he wasn't appearing of the score sheet) I'm expecting 40+ easy. What a beast he's turned into. Looks like all the pieces are starting to fall In place for him. His attitude towards the game is an attribute I overlooked when drafted. Keep it up!

 

[JustAHabFan]

His pass to Caufield is just a thing of beauty.

 

[Heffyhoof]

Who would've thought the scoring ratio for 10 points in 39 Liiga games would be 11 points in 7 NHL games!

I want him to reach 2nd season Mikko Rantanen stats.

 

[Habssince89]

What a rocket shot tonight. He's got to try and shoot in stride like that more

That never mattered for one second. People with some patience , an understanding that not every player develop at the same rate and , especially, who are not full of themselves understood this a while ago

Can't see him not hitting 38 points with the way he's playing

I keep going to the main boards to get a feel for what other fans are thinking about this incredible progression, but they keep getting shut down.

Are we not allowed to have nice things in the HF universe?

I mean it's all nice to have this kumbaya thread, we all see it, but I'd like a different look through others perspectives as well.

 

[Andrei79]

I remember telling people he had a good shot.

But no, nobody trusts Andrei.

Well doesn't help when jackasses like me add comments like "...and he somehow does it without diving". I just cant help myself. People need to know Ottawa sucks.

Just don't. I've been here for almost 20 years now it's always been the same : Main board vs Habs fanbase on the main boards. That said some of the guys on our side didn't help the situation.

I think it was OldCraig who said it perfectly. Don't go gloat on the main boards. It's pointless and useless and you will only get shit for it. Sometimes rightfully so but sometimes not rightfully. Just be neutral when you post there and have fun when you're on the Habs board. We're the villains here but just embrace it hahaha

Kent Hughes: Súboj na drafte vôbec nebol tesný. Slafkovský bol jasná jednotka

Rozhovor s generálnym manažérom Montrealu uverejňujeme ako špeciálny diel rubriky Ráno z Montrealu.

Interesting interview with Hughes. Talking about drafting Slaf and his development.

Did he mentionned that i told him to dtaft Slaf

I'm not looking to act on the thread, I just want to read said thread.

We have a legitimate stud in the making here, I'd like to get a feel for others takes. Silly or not.

No one will be happy for us. There is jealousy. Any excuse is good to take shots at him or Habs fans. Human nature unfortunately. It’s a fruitless exercise to get any validation there.
If they do think he’s good you’ll see it when they’ll complain in their own team’s GDT. I’ve seen it with Price and Subban.

I've been a hab fan for over 50 years, I understand the jealousy.

I still believe he deserves to be discussed, just my opinion.

He's been a great story this year in the NHL.

Alright man sorry. And i just realized you've been here longer than i've been if such thing is even possible lol

There is a bias against Habs fans on the main and trade boards. Leafs fans are also getting the same treatment (not that i care about Leafs fans but i have to be objective lol). I'm also a Patriots fan and it's the same shit on football forums. Big legendary franchises like the Montreal Canadiens , the New England Patriots and the NY Yankees and Boston Red Sox often get ganged up by other fanbases. It is what it is

Yes he deserves to be discussed but you won’t get a fair appraisal there of a Habs player unfortunately.

No I get it, I understand your point.

I just believe he deserves merit on the mainboards as a topic of discussion.

That's OK I like things salty, as a hab fan I've become accustomed to it.

I like things salty though lol

Guaranteed they noticed Slaf’s stats blowing up. Guaranteed they aren’t amused anymore that Montreal drafted Slafkovsky.

I'd like to see that

Threads dumping on the habs can go on forever, it'd be nice to read something that can't be refuted for once.

 

[Rapala]

You offer Slaf something along Suzuki and Caufield contract, and you pray.

This is exactly what will eventually happen. Hughes will use the same strategy he used with Cole Caufield.
We want to build a winner and we will need Cap Space to do it.

 

[Tyson]

A difficult stretch for this fabled franchise has been made tolerable with the emergence of Juraj Slafkovsky.

LOL at difficult stretch, that's putting it mildly.

To have been immersed with watching the 70's dynasty it has been challenging to watch the past many years
