World Championships

Couldn't really get much of a gauge on Jiricek at all. Had a few bad turnovers at the start and a a bomb of a shot. Can't take much away from this game.

When was the last time he played a competitive game before this one? He hadn't played since the injury, right? Or has he?

I believe he has but I’m not 100% sure.

Slaf showed his strength there but then turns it over with a careless pass and they score

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Slafkovsky just held off and then spun off Moritz Seider really well. Tried to make a seem pass from his knees but it was picked off.

 

[Hisch13r]

Great play by Slaf to work off of Seider but then tried to make a pass from the corner to the other point through traffic. It's picked off and Germany goes the other way to score

That was against Seider. And I don’t mind the pass. He was on his knees and saw a seam. Wasn’t that far from getting through.

I didn't like the pass. Not something that's overly hard to work on but it reminded me of like rookie Jack who would just throw pucks into areas hoping it'll work even though there's a guy there

 

[Oneiro]

Think Slovakia was quite soft in transition there on the goal.

 

[LennyRi]

Slaf is a very strong fella, we desperatly need such a player in the first two lines

Ya but it shouldn’t immediately lead to a goal against and there wasn’t a guy just standing there. The lane was there but a guy coming back got there just in time. That kind of stuff happens all the time even from none rookies. Happens when you’re trying to create offense. Wasn’t a terrible effort at all. Third year Jack made many passes that were worse than that.


Slafkovsky seems to be getting a lot of Seider this game.

Didn't he play like 20 minutes in game 1? If you're going to be getting ice time like that you'll probably see a lot of 1Ds

 

[Oneiro]

I know he's only 18 but still want to see Slaf respond for his team here. If he's The Guy, do The Guy things.

Edit: There you go...Nice start.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Beautiful little pass by Slafkovsky springs 40 for a breakaway. Stopped.

 

[Hisch13r]

Nice pass

Technically I feel like Tatar should be the guy

Plays like that might make MTL think teice right? Just messing around, I’m hinestly pretty convinced they’re going with Wright haha!

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Another absolute dime by Slafkovsky creates an A+ chance

 

[Captain3rdLine]

A couple nice plays by Slafkovsky

 

[Devil made me do it]

Slafkovsky is just relentless. Two passes in 20 second span that should've been finished. Immediate impact offensively the moment he steps on the ice.

Kent Hughes is on the crowd... maby we should worry a bit...

 

[Zacha37]

Starting to really become sold on Slafkovsky. At this point I’d be pretty upset if he isn’t the pick at 2. Fits in like a puzzle piece next to Jack.

Nah, if Montreal overthinks this, we take Wright and laugh our ass off. He’s still the best prospect and I’d gladly take him on the team. I really likr Slaf and want him, but if Wright falls it’s a steal.

My preference is Slafkovsky but I also haven't scouted these players so if they go elsewhere it is what it is from my perspective.

Though he does look like he could fit next to Nico better. Nico has needed a winger who can play a power game and be strong along the boards.

Nico is good along the boards himself. I would rather him with a really fast skilled winger in Bratt and Hughes with the big skilled winger in Slafkovsky

 

[Oneiro]

Too slick from Slaf there for a chance against.

Very Hughes-like in the mistakes he makes...
