A hockey player’s second year in the NHL is often more difficult than the first. We call it second year bad luck…
The athlete sometimes has the impression that he is rendered and he therefore begins to unconsciously spare his efforts, if only a little, both in his preparation and on the ice. The results are therefore sometimes less good than during his first year, when his motivation and his desire to adapt were in the carpet.
In Montreal, there is also the danger of nightlife which threatens our athletes. It takes a while before the young people who arrive in the 514 discover the best corners of the city… but in their second year, they already know where to go for a drink (or more than one) when the need arises.
Except that the concept of second-year bad luck also exists in Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg…
And this season, the teams that face the Canadian almost all go through the Palma the day before the matches, but they too often manage to thrash the CH the next day!
I wonder if the relationship clubbing – performances is still as correlated as previously thought. The future top scorer in NHL history could talk about it at length…
Juraj Slafkovsky and Angélie Bourgeois-Pelletier
Since I started on the trail of deconstructing myth(s), let me deconstruct another one: no, it’s not true that having a blonde means automatically tidy up, live more calmly and therefore produce more on the ice.
Juraj Slafkovsky found love last summer. I told you about it first HERE on the site…
Slafkovsky’s flame is called Angélie Bourgeois-Pelletier. She is a model and waitress at FlyJin.
You can follow her on Instagram.
Yet Juraj Slafkovsky only has two goals in 27 games in 2024-25… and he averages barely more than one shot per game. Be love therefore does not mean perform better for our top pick overall.
Let’s call it the bad luck of the second third year…
Joshua Roy and Mélika Hogue
Joshua Roy has also been in a relationship for a few months. The account Instagram du Rocket de Laval confirmed this in a recent Christmas video.
This is Mélika Hogue, a girl who currently resides in Ottawa. She and Josh are no longer hiding: they appear to be a couple on social networks. Unfortunately for some, however, his Instagram account is private.
However, we cannot say either that the love found by Joshua Roy led him to perform better on the ice rink. He didn’t make the big club after camphe missed a signing session a few weeks later and was invisible during his recall in November.
Cole Caufield and the sister of Catherine F.
Conversely, Cole Caufield does not yet seem to have found love since Alexandra Fidiadis, the sister of Catherine F. (OD), confessed on the set of Stanley25 dating Cole Caufield. Except that by listening to Alexandra speak, we understand that she is clearly not the girlfriend by Cole Caufield.
You can hear the excerpt (placed) via the following link:
Many hoped to see Cole Caufield return to Abby Brien, his blonde of the time last summer when they were spotted together at a Zack Bryan concert. For what ? Because people naively associate be in a relationship et to be successful for hockey players. However, players have already admitted to me that they had the best season of their career while they were single and on the party.
Conclusion : let’s stop demanding guys who are calmer than calm, more serious than the Pope and calmer than a Siamese cat. Especially when the guys are young like Caufield, Slafkovsky or Roy…
It doesn’t change anything in your performance, whether you’re in a relationship or not. Look at Michael Pezzetta: he is neither better nor worse since he is no longer in a relationship with Mireille Boutin.
“You forgot one point: being in a relationship with a girl who isn’t calm is worse than being single, right? »
That would be worth thinking about. Because it’s true that Chanel didn’t help Galchenyuk at the time…
Maybe it’s just Quebec girls that are the problem! Carey Price began to reach his “level” when he returned to a relationship with Angela Webber, a girl from the American West! #SarcasmAlert
– The Canadian’s training of the day was more focused on skills.
