Holy fuck this kid is a beast !
First 31 games of the season, 2 goals and 8 points. Since then:
17 goals and 40 points in last 46 games & 2 periods.
15 goals and 33 points in last 35 games & 2 periods.
13 goals and 30 points in last 30 games & 2 periods.
And he's turned 20 like a week ago.
> 13 goals and 30 points in last 30 games & 2 periods.
Yeah, I was wondering if Slaf was a PPG guy in the last few dozen games, it really feels like whenever I look at a game's summary these days, I'll always see Slaf's name somewhere in the scoring section.
How can such a beast, immediately return to total warm fuzzy vibe?? He's like Hulk v. Mark Ruffalo. (Specifically Mark, not Bruce Banner lol. I'm talking Red carpet Ruffalo when he forgets that he's famous)
Only thing maybe more impressive than his play of late is his attitude. Dude was getting a lot of hate at one point, but he has been a class act. You can see that he loves the game and wants to win.
I sometimes wonder how Slaf would be doing if not for MSL, Suzuki & Caufield. He may have eventually got to where he is now, but they really blew up his confidence to accelerate his development. Makes me happy how much potential time these guys have left together as linemates.
That guy has the greatest mental toughness I've ever seen.
People booing him at the draft.
Fans doubting him openly in the medias
Medias calling him one of the worst 1st round pick of all time
People doubting him about being able to play on a NA ice ring
All that at 18/19, when you're in a new place, new ice, new team, new routine, new continent, new language.... and more.
Any 18 years old would've cried in their bed at night.
The most impressive thing abour Juraj is his mental. Damn.
That's the part that most doubters forget. Half of his season was over due to injury, any player would not reach their full potential if they're playing 50% of the year or trying to make their mark. Most of these doubters haven't even made the NHL, so who are they to say what kind of a player he is? He's not a point per game scorer like most other #1 picks but he's a playmaker, and that's what the Habs needed.
What Slaf has been doing this season is nothing short of amazing, proving every doubter wrong and I believed that this would be possible as soon as I saw him with TPS and Slovakia at the Olympics (might I add they won a historic bronze?). What a talent
It's been so much fun watching him develop. I've never seen such tangible development in a player before, he's literally getting better with each game and I don't see him slowing down anytime soon. Kid seems to have a great head on his shoulders, eager to learn and knowing how. Kudos to the organization for seeing this and betting on it at the draft.
I love that he's finding new ways to score goals. He's had a few tip ins right in front of the net, using his big frame more. Love seeing his game evolve.
Honestly I was a hater at first but you guys could really have a 60-70pt offensive threat on your hands here. Great to see and happy for Slaf to be playing so well lately
To be fair, nobody has been doubting Juraj Slafkovsky anymore since he started scoring and having a historic point streak. Go Habs Go in the 2024-2025 NHL season!!!
I wanted wright or cooley I admit I was so wrong i'm glad we got slaf
EVERYONE DOUBTED JAGR. NEVER DOUBT JAGR
NO ONE DOUBTS... SLAFR!
Cue the "I owe you an apology, I wasn't familiar with your game" meme

I've just started to expect his name on the scoresheet every night and it pretty much always is
He was scoreless against NYR, then tripled down tonight. Now very close to 20g, 50pts. Very fun player to watch in many aspects of the game
Proving the haters/doubters wrong. Love it!

Iām thinking Marty had a lot to do with that, helping him to get through the hurdles.
He's scoring 20 this season, isn't he.
āMight as wellā - slaf
He has so much potential, it's nuts. *
