Player Discussion Will Slafkovsky better last years stats

[Skip Bayless]

He needs to generate confidence for himself; Drive the net, get some chances, shoot when he has the chance. Focus on creating havoc around the net, being a painful f1 to play against.

He is playing afraid to over commit and put himself out of the play, but to the point where he is actually putting himself out of the play. He is playing like a Beta.

I still remember the loud and proud declarations of 'Look at Jiricek tearing up the AHL and Slaf meanwhile is injured and had a bad season.' When someone changes their opinion on everything but the central point of debate, you can be assured they are arguing in bad faith.

Some people here arguing in bad faith? no, never!

I want to see him shoot more for sure, but I want to see him drop the shoulder and drive to the net more. He has good hands and reach I think he needs to give it a shot in taking on Dmen 1v1, especially if they're smaller. Just getting around the net more will be good for his goal totals and developing his finishing.

He has 4 goals in his last 8 games, he's shooting more in the last 10 games or so and gets in better position. It's more of the norm for him than what his goals total was at the start of the season, his shooting % adjusted. Was close to get another goal yesterday against the wild, he hit the post.

Gah, I hate this new board... hope it gets fixed and soon.

So anyway, was wondering what people thought about this. Will Juraj Slafkovsky have a crazy second half to his season, and beat his numbers from last year? Last year, he put up 20 goals and 30 assists for 50 points. So far this year, he's at 4 goals and 19 assists for 23 points - halfway through the season.

So, will Slafkovsky have better numbers this year, over last year?

No and I’m pretty sure he’s a mouth breather to boot. Hear he can cook though
