Concerning his shooting, I find that Slaf has shooted quite often to D in front of him. His shots are blocked quite often. It's not just the last game, it seems like his trend. I find his shooting decision poor; sometimes he should shoot more, but he doesn't, sometimes he shouldn't shoot, but he shoots.

Yeah last year it was problematic early on and got better as the year went on. Might be adjusting to speed and coverage adjustments.

While Slaf has not look great so far this season, I don't think there is a reason to panic. I think he looked better in his last two games despite the horrible outcomes for the team. He has only been on the ice for one goal against in the last 2 games and his puck protection was much better against Washington.

Just remember, last year it took him 29 games to get to 7 points. This year he had that after 7 games. He will get better as the season progresses. Hopefully the team will also get better, because right now it's a train wreck.

PS: As I was watching last night's game, I was wondering what was going through Slaf's head as he saw first Armia and then Dvorak get priority over him on a 5-on-3. I really don't get MSL sometimes.

We really never are happy eh? Kid has 6 points in 7 games is playing pretty good.

But he isn't doing somethings as well as last year. He's 20 the full package will take time
He said what he cares is winning in an interview and not points. Points shouldn't be letting him off the hook on ways he can improve

Not too worried about Slaf but he needs to create his own chances and just shoot more.

He also looks extremely pissed out there half the time , the team is shyte
He is also part of the problem. His pissed out attitude won’t help. Jut need to focus on his own play, and his line’s play.

He might just be the forward version of Brent Burns :laugh:
