In one interview, Craig Ramsey described, that in the 3rd. place game in the Olympics, he was looking at the bench cause key PK player was in the box. Slaf was the only one staring at him. Craig put him in and he created 2 on 1. Thats the player he is.
@@IVANDEMIGOD Well if you took the Habs glasses off for 10 seconds you could tell that the Leafs had the stronger team and were expected by many, not only Button to run through the Habs that year.
For me, while I was happy with his hat trick and impress by this year stats, when I see him play it is the level of disruption that he creates either with his reach or lately just with his presence battling in front of the net. Often 1 or 2 player on the other side get completely taken out of play, I mean they are still there with him, but they have no time to get aware of what is occuring elsewhere on the ice.
Played hockey all my life obviously not NHL lol! But I was that guy in ice hockey and ball hockey! It’s called confidence and great at being in pressure situations! Future is bright for this guy!
Slaf will be a 100 point player in 3 years from now… you could say I was out of my mind saying that when we drafted him but I was saying that… I always saw Mikko in him and I personally felt her always had that potential I’m just surprised he’s Been this good this early… Juraj is out producing the stats mikko had in his second season…
Not only is he a far superior player to KK and AG, he has what they didn’t have: killer instinct and a whole other level of competitiveness. He wants the pressure. He wants the moment. He wants to carry the load.
@@SamuelAtalla- He also has an offensive minded coach unlike the two defensive first, second, and third dump and chase coaches those two were saddled with.
What we saw with tage is what is possible with slaf, could he a solid 40-40 guy, even if its 30-30 thats a big body that can be affective in more than just point production, i can’t wait to see 20+ year old slaf
I would love to see Dach replace CC on first line. Depends if they get another C before next season. But Newhook has bin playing great and him and Roy with CC could be good line too. Obviously finding a 2c though would make it lot easier trying Slaf-Suz-Dach as top line
@@farmerlalande no you’re right. Just kinda thought 2nd lines can get sheltered more then first why I was thinking CC would do really well on it. But Roy and Newhook are pretty decent size. But yea you are right
@@kevinboisvert5610 I'm just a big fan of Josh Roy and I think he's a great enabler. If you pair him with a true sniper like Caufield and you give him a Center like Dach that generates space, he will shine.
The one team that made the hugest mistake not taking Patrick Roy is not Ottawa, it's Colombus. They should've signed him the very minute his contract with the Remparts terminated. Had Jarmo done that instead of that Babcock debacle he'd still be a GM, and considered a master one.
You see just this year after his stats improved what the player he is while some people knew him already since 17y that he is the game changer. You put him to whatever the situation he adjusts to be the best. He is the winner. Frankly speaking none of generational players in nhl has this mentality. This is the mentality that will drive you to be best. Although he may not have 99.99% best skills i am sure he will surprise you again. Mark my words. He will be among best 3players in nhl in 3-4y and will become more impactful than any of your generational players. And why? Because he knows how to adapt and win and be best.
People are absolutely insane when it comes to Matheson. This guy is an absolute STUD no freaking question about it. He has that « swagger » that not many players have. Elite skating, great vision. Always has the puck and trying plays, of course he will make turnovers once in a while, which I don’t even see that often. He is a net positive to the team. People saying all he does is turnovers clearly are just repeating something they are oblivious about. I’d bet they either don’t watch the games, or do not understand hockey at all.
When you carry the puck alot. You will have more turnovers. Who cares. The offense that he created outweighs his lower skills like defensive things. Put a stay at home Def with him. No problem with the math man. Ghg!!
Do you think he has a spot though if guys like Hutson and Mailoux turn out way we hope they do? Matheson trade could land Mtl something they desperately need up front. And his value couldn’t be higher
if Cole aint scoring 35 plus a year = BAD CONTRACT Slav ..Ive always said could be the next Joe Thorton but a better scorer i hope cheers from Sudbury 🍻🍻
Matheson is a good offensively but is often a liability defensively because he is being overused. He is no genuine top pairing defenseman but can still be an asset on the second pair...!!!
face the facts not the philosophy. Tort lost his room. sorry where are the other players why are they not watching the game from out in the stands also? no bad timing to bench the captain.
Pretty bad episode without the theme song. I did enjoy watching Button pull down the blinds. Very symbolic of the somberness being felt by the viewer. Let’s get back to it next show and maybe do a 10 minute theme song intro 🔥🔥
Doesn't matter how many points Matheson has. If Lane Hutson plays EXACTLY the same way, he won't reach 50 points because he'll spend half the games being scratched. All to his credit to have gotten those points, but he costs a lot more then he puts in.
Lol you guys are out to lunch the top line gets the most ice time they should get the numbers they do give your head a shake that said slave should play with Kirby dach and Anderson for a line find a player to play with Caulfield and Suzuki put Armia and Newhook and Roy line three get bigger and faster for line 4 and the team is in the okay offs
thank you for the quick start with no 10 minute intro
THIS NEW INTRO IS WAY BETTER TONY ❤❤❤

Idc what others say about Button, he knows his stuff about prospects and I respect his insight. Good Pod.
I like him a lot too, although he can get a little long winded
Craig " I dont think the Canadiens will win even 1 game vs Toronto" Button
He is expert although in slaf case he was far far away as expert with his insight
@@IVANDEMIGOD Well if you took the Habs glasses off for 10 seconds you could tell that the Leafs had the stronger team and were expected by many, not only Button to run through the Habs that year.
@@IVANDEMIGODget over it, ppl make mistakes

I have to remember the team is still learning in a big way and the end result is the most important.
Hi Tony . Is La Bitt A Tibbi avaliable in Ontario ?
Mike Matheson flourishes with the Habs because he is now playing in his home province Quebec. Please don't trade him away!
Slaf will be a 100 point player in 3 years from now… you could say I was out of my mind saying that when we drafted him but I was saying that… I always saw Mikko in him and I personally felt her always had that potential I’m just surprised he’s Been this good this early… Juraj is out producing the stats mikko had in his second season…

@@SamuelAtallafact !
@@SamuelAtalla- He also has an offensive minded coach unlike the two defensive first, second, and third dump and chase coaches those two were saddled with.
@@rgood1204 very true. Think that’s why Gauthier asked to be traded
I believe Slaf is a 40 goals scorer and a year here and there a 100 points maker and yes I see Rantanen in him
What we saw with tage is what is possible with slaf, could he a solid 40-40 guy, even if its 30-30 thats a big body that can be affective in more than just point production, i can’t wait to see 20+ year old slaf
17:39 if Caufield plays with Dach next year, I want to see Roy with them to distribute the puck!
Roy is very good too !
I would love to see Dach replace CC on first line. Depends if they get another C before next season. But Newhook has bin playing great and him and Roy with CC could be good line too. Obviously finding a 2c though would make it lot easier trying Slaf-Suz-Dach as top line
@@kevinboisvert5610 you have to have more size than CC, Roy and Newhook to go get the pucks in the corners.

thanks for cutting the song ! thats a proper intro
Homegrown Matheson! 🔥
Slaf got the killer instinct
He also have that fuck you attittude, which I love!
@@IVANDEMIGOD I love it too 😈
Were was the casquette when Slovxosky score is hat trick and why the quebequer's keep ther hat on there head ?
That’s true 😮
The one team that made the hugest mistake not taking Patrick Roy is not Ottawa, it's Colombus. They should've signed him the very minute his contract with the Remparts terminated. Had Jarmo done that instead of that Babcock debacle he'd still be a GM, and considered a master one.
Juraj ain't a 50 goal scorer, he's a very soon to be 50 season games winner. Matters much more than the individual production.
You see just this year after his stats improved what the player he is while some people knew him already since 17y that he is the game changer. You put him to whatever the situation he adjusts to be the best. He is the winner. Frankly speaking none of generational players in nhl has this mentality.

Can we compare Slav to MATS SUNDIN ??

I couldn't agree more. Some fans seem to think that constant criticism and finding faults is a sign of knowledge and competence.

Craig Button Baby🐐
Craig " I dont think the Canadiens will win even 1 game vs Toronto" Button
@@IVANDEMIGOD we all get some wrong lol
Cheechoo is the best example of a guy who score 50 because of a great teamate in Jumbo Joe
Justin Poirier scored 50 last junior did the same was Crosby
Craig " I dont think the Canadiens will win even 1 game vs Toronto" Button
if Cole aint scoring 35 plus a year = BAD CONTRACT Slav ..Ive always said could be the next Joe Thorton but a better scorer i hope cheers from Sudbury 🍻🍻
Slaf a centerman ?
Caufield got 60 points let’s relax
Breaking up the first line? NO!! It WORKS, leave it alone.
Matheson is a good offensively but is often a liability defensively because he is being overused. He is no genuine top pairing defenseman but can still be an asset on the second pair...!!!
he will score 50 if Suzuki keeps feeding him.

Ryan Poehling scored 50.... goals ever since pee wee. You are on crack if you think Slaf can punt 50.
Doesn't matter how many points Matheson has.
If Lane Hutson plays EXACTLY the same way, he won't reach 50 points because he'll spend half the games being scratched.
All to his credit to have gotten those points, but he costs a lot more then he puts in.
Dumb comment by ML.
And C. Button read my mind about that.

Lol you guys are out to lunch the top line gets the most ice time they should get the numbers they do give your head a shake that said slave should play with Kirby dach and Anderson for a line find a player to play with Caulfield and Suzuki put Armia and Newhook and Roy line three get bigger and faster for line 4 and the team is in the okay offs
You guys have no clue in coaching wow
You have no clue period!!😂
