Tatar goal. Slaf net front (but not doing much on that one).

In front of the goalies eyes and got an assist because it went off him.

 

[Devs3cups]

Oh and Tatar scores! Nice screen by Slaf!

I think that shot went off of Slafkovsky and he’ll get an assist.

 

[Devs3cups]

Yup, Slafkovsky assist.

I'd like to see a bit less Tedenby from Slaf if I were tbh. He's trying it too much (the excessive stickhandling / dekes).

 

[Devs3cups]

Another nice chance by Slaf

For me, I like young guys who try to make plays. They can be coached to be safer.

It’s much harder to coach an overly safe player into being creative.

They're playing France, so maybe Slaf is dangling because he can but agreed, it's a little annoying. That being said, you can say that about a lot of young players these days.

Offensively, the way he moves without the puck is pretty good though. If he ends up on Jack's wing, no need to worry about finding the soft areas.

 

[Oneiro]

Nice quick pass to re-gain the zone on the PP by Nemec.

He seems kind of bored, haha.

 

[Devs3cups]

Slaf looks dangerous down low and in front of the net.

That's not the issue at all. I want to see if he has the capability to just skate the puck in (which is how you do it in the NHL for the most part). I want to see if he can recognize when to use what. So far he's only been trying dangles. That's not really "trying to make plays".

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Wow. What a play by France. That’s gotta be some sort of set play.

 

[Devs3cups]

That was an insane goal by the French

Yup, everything else has been great.

Dammit , this while working for a living thing is stopping me form watching. How has Nemec looked so far?

Fine. Not really noticeable but is trying to get involved.

 

[Devs3cups]

Another great forecheck by Slaf, negates the icing, leads to a scoring chance. Kid is looking good.

Wasn’t gonna be an icing but yes good play. Would’ve been a good pass but his other teammate got in the way when the pass wasn’t for him.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Nemec should get the assist on that I think.

 

[Oneiro]

Nemec assist after QBing the possession for a little bit.

He's a very smooth player. I get the Heiskanen comparisons.

 

[britdevil]

Yohann Auvitu playing for France.

 

[Devs3cups]

I like him using his shot, cuts in the slot and takes one but misses the net.

 

[LennyRi]

Slaf is a really interesting player, big body that would slot in great on Hughes wing

 

[Devs3cups]

Slaf, most time on ice of any Slovak forwards.

Montreal scouts in the house. I'm 98% sure they go Wright though. If Wright falls to #2 I think you run to the stage lol, but that's not happening. They want that 1-2 punch down the middle with Suzuki.

 

[Devs3cups]

Awesome shift by Slaf down low. Created 2 chances.
