Player Discussion The Slaf Thread - Parabolic Growth Edition

[Lafleurs Guy]

As long as it’s not serious, then fine. Injuries are a part of the game.

But if it turns out he’s missing the season or something like that then I will go postal.

Not sure when he hurt it, appeared to be the preseason fight when he left for a while afterwards.

Just reason why this teams need true tough fourth liners. Not saying fighters but willing combatants that make it so the top 6 feels less obligated to do it on their own.

Creampuffs like Armia and Dvorak. Anderson who is rarely willing. Swap in some guys tough to play against and push back on the bottom 6 is so needed

Also, players that are high end defensively with high compete. We were spoiled in that regards with Danault, Byron and Lehkonen, but right now there's no one.

Ya compete level is cliche phrase but when the team lacks it, you notice

You're forgetting Jake Evans, who's quickly becoming the most underrated player by this fanbase. Perfect bottom six-er in my book.

I don't that toughness should be relegated to the bottom 6. There's nothing wrong with sandpaper in the top 6, in fact most team want that. Look at the Tkachuk brothers. I'd be very happy if Slaf was to bring that sort of game to the group.

I wouldn't call Evans high end defensively. He can't really shut down players and he isn't what Byron was on the PK. He can't play up the lineup either and while I like the compete, those three played with a very high pace. I say that in all due respect to Evans who's been playing very good hockey.

I'm wondering if Slaf is just pissed to have been told to sit because of his bad shoulder, so he just takes slapshots in solo instead...because he's at it again today.

They are not full force shots though. He’s doing the movement, but he’s not pushing it.
