    Yeah, yeah, we didn’t need to win, blah blah blah. Fuck that, Slaf hat trick. I’m so goddamn excited to watch this guy’s career develop. His progress this year has absolutely blown me away. What a fantastic pick. Full credit to management for betting on him at 1st overall; I get it.

    I’ve watched every game this season, and games like this are why. It’s been so rewarding to watch this group develop together, and they worked hard all season.

    That was fun!!!!! Games like this (against a team ostensibly in the wildcard race) give me real we-might-be-spooky-next-year vibes.

    Slaf was an absolute monster (2nd youngest hat trick scorer after Richer), first line all around was firing, and even the vets showed that they still have something to contribute. Add Dach and possibly a winger from a trade to our top-6, and a wildcard spot doesn’t seem so unrealistic!

  3. RoboticAnatomy

    WHAT A GAME!!!

    2 for Dvorak in his return!

    2 for Gally!!

    Anderson gets one!

    Armia new career high in goals!

    Caufield hits 60 points for the first time!!

    And nothing else happened, right?

    SLAF-TRICK BABY, LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! OUR SLOVAKIAN STALLION IS A MONSTER, SHANE WHO??? LOGAN WHO???

    SLAF BABY, WOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!

  4. just wow, what a night, Slaf is a fucking animal, the entire team showed up

  5. The Slaftrick was glorious. Can’t wait for the next one.

  6. Psychological_Pebble

    Hopefully more performances like this against the Isles and Wings.

  7. Puccimane

    Is this what the kids mean when they say hitting a Gritty?

  8. Wow I sure chose the perfect game to miss. Great. 👍🏼

  9. bcgrappler

    Did you know Charlie Coyle is having a breakout season on Boston.

    Juraj Slafkovsky has 12 seasons before he is Charlie Colye’s age.

    Long live the slaf king.

  10. Electrical_Analyst65

    That was an ass kicking they sorely needed to give. It shows they are a good group and should not be overlooked. Slaf was an animal. 

  11. RoboticAnatomy

    I fuckin love Slafs personality, sticking his tongue out during the interview. Fuckin legend.

  12. FakeCrash

    I’ve been looking at ordering a Slafkovský Adidas jersey for a few days. Ordering it tonight.

  13. CheetahLynx83

    That was probably the most complete game the Habs have played since Carey’s last game and win. Only thing missing was Monty getting his first shutout

  14. Longshanks123

    Great interview from Slaf, he’s all about the team first, loved the applause, and we got a “Merci beaucoup” to top it off

  15. 3 pts game for Slaf, Harris and Gally

    At least a point for everybody except Pezz, Barron and Struble.

  16. Got a bit sloppy in the final third when it no longer really mattered, but whatever, you can’t complain too much when you score 9 goals.

    Slafkovsky’s hattrick was wonderful, and I was glad for Dvorak to have a solid performance in his return.

    I can’t believe we scored nine goals and Suzuki only got one point. Major missed opportunity to get close to 80.

  17. dadoudelidou

    How can you not love Slaf ?

    In his rink interview at the end of the game, he took the time to say how much he was happy for his mates Gally and Dvo. This kid is a beauty. Plus the proud ” Merci Beaucoup ” at the end was just cherry on top.

    What a game.

  18. Before this game I wished to dedicate this one to Tomas my very good friend and huge fan of habs for years who passed away last week, we woule chat about Slaf and Mesar and future of the team, last msg i sent him was “i hope you are not sleeping!” As we watch the games till 4am in the morning

    What a game this was, what an efford by Slaf and the whole team. The best tribute i could imagine. Rip Tomas and Mesar will make the team i swear!

  19. I regret everything I’ve ever said about Juraj, he’s my Slovakian king

  20. TiffanyStratton

    of course i skip a game to watch wrestling and miss the slaftrick😭 the second half of this season is so satisfying for us day 1 slafgoatsky truthers

  21. moutardebaseball

    Props au DJ qui a fait joué du 83 quand le score était 8-3

  22. CocoKing02

    AND HE WILL ONLY GET BETTER🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  23. Longshanks123

    Sure hope all the Slovak redditors stayed up for this one

  24. lacoupe25

    Gally with best advanced-stats game of any Hab all season–out of 1404 man-games.

  25. IcyChard4

    Slafkovsky has arrived. Great performance by everybody. This is their best game of this season.

  26. I’m glad I stuck around this season. Awesome progression. Congrats Slaf and welcome back Dvorak

  27. ssigma100

    Don’t see a lot of comments on Dvorak but he skated well today and 2 goals to boot on the 4th line

  28. Flyers doesn’t look like a team fighting for a PO spot.

  29. TripleWDot

    Gonna sound like a broken record but holy fuck are we ever lucky to have MSL as a coach. His presser was perfect.

  30. amm0ranth

    JURAJ SLAFKOVSKY IS PHILADELPHIA FLYERS’ FATHER

  31. BlackCharle

    How the hell did we score 9 goals in one game? Was Dvorak the key all this time?

  32. ErrorCode51

    Habs scored so much even Peohling got one lol!!!!

  33. Snoo-19445

    Feel like this ended the Flyers’ season, so that’s nice.
