When we think of the players who have disappointed since the start of the season, there are a few names that come to mind.
From the lot?
Obviously… There is Kirby Dach and there is also Juraj Slafkovsky, although I could have named others.
In the case of the first, we know that he is coming back from a major injury and that it could take time.
But still: Dach does not perform up to his talent and it is also his level of involvement which makes more than one doubt.
For Slaf, it’s boring because we saw in the last half of the 23-24 season that he is capable of being a good player in the National League.
But just like Dach, he doesn’t show up every night and that’s what’s frustrating.
To get results, you have to work… #ÉcoleDeLaVie
The two guys, who have been in the top-6 since the very beginning of the season, have combined for a total of three goals scored so far.
This is far from enough:
If the Canadian wants to progress, he will need the support of Kirby Dach and Juraj Slafkovsky.
-After all, we are talking about two players who were selected in the top-3 in the draft and we are talking about two guys who have great potential.
But it will start to be worrying (as Éric Bélanger said in the case of Slaf on BPM Sports) if the two guys are not able to get back together.
The sample is “thin” this season because the Canadian has played 27 games and we know that a bad patch can happen to any player… But if the results don’t start coming, it will be normal to start to ask questions.
Martin St-Louis tried to send them a message and there was no extraordinary effect afterwards.
That said, the coach must find a way to revive them before the situation becomes a catastrophe in the eyes of the fans AND in the eyes of the organization’s leaders.
In burst
– There are three games this evening in the National League, including the Canadian against the Ducks.
– ????????
– Oh.
– Oh yes? Interesting!
