[Emrith] Martin St-Louis on Juraj Slafkovský: “the one thing that he’s done a lot this year, at least for me, is the tremendous improvement he’s made away from the puck defensively. He still has moments – he’s a 19-year old – but I feel comfortable because he’s aware defensively”

He makes good defensive plays but he noticeably puck watches when the other team is cycling in our defensive zone. I think he needs to play more man on man instead of a zone defense style but I’ll trust the coach on this one.
Martin has to be the best dad in the world cuz Slaf looks lost in his zone…
My boy is gonna be fine. He just needs time and some MSLTLC
I am always the first one to argue against drafting him, but I have to admit it was a very decent game from him.
If he keeps it this way I will shut the fuck up. Please make me.
That’s great and all but we didn’t draft him to play defense. I’d rather he be a point per game and terrible defensively. Defense is something you can teach, offense is pure instinct
