If the Canadian is currently in his best streak of the entire season, it is not necessarily all the players on the team who are enjoying perfect happiness.
This is the case, among others, of the attacker Juraj Slafkovsky.
He, who is having a difficult season and falling short of expectations, seems to be having all the difficulty in the world finding his cruising speed that he had in the second half of the last season.
He who has only collected one point in his last four games saw the head coach Martin St. Louis give him a message during the last game against the Avalanche in Colorado when he nailed him to the bench during the game. As a result, he finished with only 13:25 of ice time, while he is used to playing an average of nearly 17 minutes per game this season.
Moreover, the main person concerned is starting to show signs of frustration.
During the Canadian’s great victory in Colorado this weekend, Slafkovsky was even unable to hide his anger during the victory ritual in the company of his teammates.
The sequence emerged on social networks and we see him doing the ritual as usual but showing no enthusiasm and immediately leaving for the locker room, visibly frustrated.
Even in the locker room, he didn’t even try to hide his frustration as the rest of the team celebrated.
- Aged 20, Juraj Slafkovsky is a 6’3″/225lbs left winger selected in the 1st round (1st total) in the 2022 draft. So far this season, he has compiled a record of 4 goals and 17 assists for a total of 21 points in 36 games He has 8 more years remaining on his contract, earning him an average of $7.6 million per season.
He who does not seem to show any progress so far this season, let’s see if he will be able to bounce back and, like last year, have a strong second half of the season.
