Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

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!

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

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

Pretty meaningless with a 2 game sample size.. especially considering Slaf played with that line for 5 periods in which they were in a tight game or leading and defending the lead, with the Anderson switch happening at a time where the Bruins were defending a multi goal lead and let the Habs take more shots, which would explain why the shot share went up with Anderson.

The line as a whole was not very good for two games.. Anderson going on the line and having a better CF% is a game/score effect with such limited data.

The poster haven't bothered to check on Slaf's stats without CC/Suzuki. Slaf did better than 42.86 CF% with his new linemates.
