Huge first followed by a brutal second; pretty wild how many games this year that could summarize lol, though this one had the fun of also having a rough third
Not gonna dwell on the loss, they’re a much better team and we got the scoring for me to be happy. I can’t give enough praise for Slaf. I’ve been rooting for this guy since the draft but I didn’t think he’d explode like this so early.
I do think the points might slow down, but the fact that he’s capable of having a run like this at this age has my hopes sky-high. His rate of improvement is actually disgusting, I can’t believe how quickly he adds new things to his toolkit and then executes them seamlessly.
Matheson continues to have these baffling moments where he picks a more difficult option rather than passing to the wide-open Slaf. Not to harp on this too much, I know it’s been talked about a lot, but his distribution style on the powerplay really bothers me.
Fuck chris kreider
Don’t care Slafcoleski going strong babyyyyy
En 25 parties
Suzuki : 11 buts, 18 passes, 29 points
Caufield : 12 buts, 13 passes, 25 points
Slafkovsky : 10 buts, 12 passes, 22 points
I’m so proud of them
Feels good even if we lose.
Slaf continues his heater, Cole had a 3 point night
Fine with this all things considered. Team didn’t quit after that horror stretch in the 2nd
Easily kovacevics worst game as a hab. Entire defence looked off and bad…
Hes def rusty and needs to get his legs under him, but Ive found newhook to be meh since returning.
Slafkovsky, what more can you say
that first line is looking fire, man it feels nice to have good young players for once
