Once again last night, Juraj Slafkovsky had a strong game against the Colorado Avalanche. Not only did he score a significant goal, but he also had five shots on net, significantly better than his average per game.
Since returning to the line with Nick Suzuki, the young Slovak has been impressive, and everyone sees him as an integral part of the team, except for the analysts at Sportsnet.
Really? It seems like they haven't watched Slafkovsky's recent performances to make such comments. It's a total lack of respect when he's not only very effective but also starting to seriously trouble his opponents, in addition to producing.
In short, it seems like an analysis from a year ago that someone forgot to press "send" on and sent it a year late. As of today, Slafkovsky has 8 points in his last 12 games and is a key player on the Montreal Canadiens' 1st line.
