Demon Slayer thumbnail lmao
we will soon see if all that translates into a real game environment. He is very young so hopefully he will improve each year for the next 5 to 6 years and become a very good player by the time he reaches 25. Expecting too much of young players puts too much pressure on them and they play stressed out with the anxiety of performance and that kills the potential.
Never thought I’d see a hockey player and an anime character in the same thumbnail
bro ur thumbnails are so good 😭
So, my understanding is if this training takes hold, Slaf is going to be an absolute monolith?
SLAFKOVSKY is the next DROUIN, in terms of failure to become what was expected of him
Okay, you're talking about a VO2 max test- a lung/heart capacity tests. And Spirometry test, is a breathing improvement test, it helps in max'ing breathing/lung capacity- re-strengthening of internals. Testing your breath continually, remember your heart is also a muscle. Nice article, I'll give the Canadiens that in Slafkovsky's training methods, he doesn't want to be seen as a Mr Yakupov. He's improving his conditioning training.
I absolutely LOVE this. Use of science like this to push players limits is awesome
I love all the effort Slafkovsky is putting in to be a better player. He has a great attitude & work ethic. His game will only excel with time & I've no doubt that in the long run, he'll be a phenomenal addition to the Habs!!
I would never have expected to see Tanjiro on one of your thumbnails lol
Slafkovsky b like: CANADIAN BREATHING FIRST FORM, SLAPSHOT SLASH!
Slafanjiro
74th like
Lafreniere has been treading water for 3 years Slaf has played half a season…calm down already
Instead of showing up at dev camp he stayed home to do breathing exercises 🤣
3 time Ironman here. Watching Slaf last year he was constantly winded when shown
To increase lung capacity by 20 % Is more indicative of where the baseline was. If he was in elite athlete form he could never increase by 20%
The Habs are allergic to first round picks. Trade them away to retain some value lol
I love it when lego references anime
The lost me at "the magic of science ". No need to read further, as the author is greatly disconnected.
Should use an Ivan Drago exercise montage for Slav!
So…
We got 1st overall and drafted a mouth-breather.
SLAFZILLA GO HABS GO 💕💕💕💕💕
Can't stand when people relate sports to anime
So this guy is going to be a damn cyborg?
Guy Lafleur used to smoke between periods, just sayin'
Such a dust 1 overall pick honestly a tragedy but as a Boston fan I love watching Montreal burn
Yeah.. Steph Curry did that kind of training. Flickering shades + breathing capacity.
This stuff is all very good for his development. For pete's sake though, he's still only a teenageer. Put him in the AHL for one year to grow and be 'the guy'. First line minutes, PP1 minutes, important end of game minutes, let him soak all that in as well. Look at Draisaitl, he was up and down a few times and turned out great. We're not challenging for the playoffs this year anyway, please!
Feels like rocky 4 a bit lmao, other than Slaf being slovak and not russian
Nope! A future bust
Slav is a great guy with a positive attitude, character and a desire to win.
