« Le hockey est leur passion, tout comme la mienne. Peut-être que certains ne m’aimaient pas mais je ferai tout [that I can] Et je jouerai bien pour cette équipe et ils m’apprécieront peut-être un jour. – Juraj Slafkovsky de retour en juillet 2022, après avoir été hué par certains partisans du Tricolore lors du repêchage

Fuck the vocal minority, all my homies hate em’
Honestly what a bunch of fucking morons
I love the fact that he knew that he had to earn the right to have the fans cheer for him.
He’s the fucking man. I remember being upset by the pick. I wanted Center Cooley preferably but this kids attitude is just so good. He’s quickly became one of my favourite players and I root for him every game. Just a gem of a player and I was wrong lol
The media was 100% to blame for this, they tried to push Wright so hard on the fans before the draft that they made some people believe the habs had made a poor choice. God knows Montreal has some of the worst sports journalist in all of sports.
all my homies love slaf
Shout out to all my homies who have been repping Slaf all year. Get that “send him to the AHL” foolishness outta here.
Wait I just remember there was some twitter banter from seattle or phoenix when cooley pr wright scorred ? anyone knows what Iam talking about?
i was a huge wright > slafkovsky guy. glad he’s proving all the doubters wrong. i’ll happily eat my words and worship the ground he walks on if he breaks out and sniffs anywhere near ppg
As someone who wasn’t a fan of the Slaf pick, goddamn am I eating crow. And God, have I never been so happy to be wrong.
Get over it, haters. Top 7 picks from that year are all good. It will be years before we know who develops and who doesn’t, but you can’t deny Slaf’s trajectory.

I was kinda hoping they’d take Slafkovsky, I didn’t care much for Wright’s attitude (I know, I know…). Man seemed to think he was all that and a bag of chips, but he’s only played in like a half dozen NHL games this year while Slaf learned to use his size and he’s looked GOOD. Glad to see him put it all together in only his second year, too
No one booed slav, they were booing management for what they thought was the wrong choice.
Slaf is an amazing player, we are beyond lucky to have him, wish him all the best
let this be a lesson to all the Slaf haters, if you thought this guy would only score like 3 goals the year after getting drafted 1OA, you were dead wrong. He’s got *4*motherfucker.
