You know what to do when it happens.

Although I'm not sure exactly what is a pointless steak.

No need to call people losers because they have bad takes

Maybe they should do some homework. His numbers compare to Jack Hughes...is he a middle 6 player? Do they know he has 9 points in his last 5 games? Maybe some pre show prep might be in order.

It’s one that’s cooked in a microwave

I agree, thats a bit much. There are better ways to critique what they said.

Agreed, but insulting people is childish

Its too early to label Slaf as he hasn't it his ceiling. Let's enjoy his development, he's becoming a hell of a player!

Not sure questionable is the term I would use.

There is only 17 players who managed PPG+ in their age 19 season. Out them, only 3 were born after 1980: Sidney Crosby, McDavid and Stamkos. Only one was born in the 70s: Lindros.

So by what she’s saying Matthews wasn’t PPG so he is a bust, Jack Hughes is a bust, even Bedard this year isn’t PPG so he is a bust

Why are people taking some random podcasters opinion seriously ? I don't see how its any different than if any of us randoms on HF had a poor opinion.

My favourite is to pooh in a paper bag, light it on fire and then leave it at their doorway while ringing their doorbell and running away.

That’s how we do things in the adult world.

Here’s a nice piece of shit!

I listened to 2mn of it, it's not even anti-Slaf it's just moronic (not surprised they're out of work).

By their definition any top 3 pick (forward) should be a star which they define as PPG and 1st overall should be top20 in the league e.g. by this definition Slaf is a bust, only problem is that it makes no sense.

Jack Hugues was a bust his first 2 seasons, same with Stuzle, Draisatl. Hischier is back to being a bust this year, Lafreniere, Dach, Kappo, Byfield, KK, McTavish, Bedard, Carlsson, all busting, etc.

They'd be getting crapped on too I think.

Juraj has high level puck skills and coordination. Combined with his compete and size it makes him very hard to contain. And you still feel he’s just learning to use his body. One of the most striking things about watching him in his draft year was his elite puck protection ability, and we still have yet to see that in the NHL. That will be exciting to watch develop…

 

[calder candidate]

I think it is pretty clear that even if he doesn't make the most point he will probably still be the most valuable player from the draft.

 

[vlady]

My pre-draft prediction of him being the best player in the draft looks very good, I guess.

What? You had him ranked 5th, I remember that because you kept saying it.

 

[Heffyhoof]

I I always backed up my opinion with something and didn't go after people for having the opposing opinion. Unless they went after me first, then all bets were off.

I could easily be having a faulty memory as I occasionally forget yesterday's dinner. Sorry for being a twit, it also occasionally happens to me.

Friends -- I regret to inform you Hockey DB Wheeler found our cheering offensive and embarrassing so he had to pick on whoever this fella is. Thankfully, Wheeler is and always will be a hockey db scout so its best to ignore his drunk ramblings and I am only posting this to make fun of him.

 

[admiralcadillac]

look I can turn around and say he's looking really good but we also don't have to pretend and flail around trying to justify a shooting percentage at 15-20% and say that it is realistic for him to keep this up

he'll slow down, that doesn't mean his progression will stall or regress

Well it does actually though lol (at least statistically). I’m just hyped that a kid the team has developed is finding confidence here. We haven’t had that since Subban.

We can know instantly if someone watches the game or not

He said in november that Roy was better than Slaf too

 

[Twisted Sinister]

Slaf seems to be St-Louis's pet project and they seem to be training him in an Ivan Drago-like manner.

Works for me.

What would people be happy with in terms of point total this year? 40 for me would be fine.
