Watch as Montreal Canadiens forward and 2022 first overall draft pick Juraj Slafkovsky scores his first career NHL goal with a slick wrister in front of the Bell Centre crowd, the same building where he was drafted three months earlier.
@@Bakemer94 Hey, you don't have to laugh, it's okay! I have cancer and it makes me feel better to laugh about it, to each their ways, right? Now give me a break and let me have a great last year before i fall, thank you ♥
That moment last year when Petry and Poehling skated by Kassian after he ran the goalie was absolutely embarrassing. It's no wonder both of those guys were traded in the off-season. This type of thing won't happen with Xhekaj on the team. What a blessing he is.
I’m very happy for his first goal and he has a great personality but I wouldn’t want the “F… o…” repeated again. This is not what the Canadiens are. 🌺🌸
@@marietteforget7804 Well if the opposing team player comes over to chirp your team after the goal he's fair game. Get out of there and let the other team celebrate.
@Average Canadian in 2022 Yeah but your beer league is not NHL though. It was great hockey sense from Slafkovsky because he had a great awareness where his opponents are and how much space he got and he did it without hesitation so it was planned. That was a great hockey sense from Slafkovsky. It sounds like you wouldnt recognize a good hockey sense even if it hit you in the face.
I think that talent wise he’ll be a little underwhelming as a #1 pick but there’s no doubt in my mind that he becomes a fan favourite in Montreal. He’s got a ton of heart and is very mature for his age. Him, Mesar, Suzuki, Caufield, Dach, Xjakeye, Ghule and Anderson will be a great core for years to come.
What a beauty. This play is so ridiculously clean for an NHL newbie. And just look how happy he was after scoring. One of the most emotional moments of the week
I didn't know he had a shot THIS good. I've watched it over and over and that release is so impressive, and the speed of the puck as it flies past the goalie, insane!
@@joshuanelson6135 Leafs would disagree losing to Coyotes just a couple days ago and Leafs definitely dont have an ECHL team so dont talk outta ur ass dude.
@@vladg5216 Im surprised that you didnt know. His shot both wrist shot and slap shot are like ballistic missiles. When he gets into spot for such a shot its most likely going in.
No damn idea what you said, but I agree. Kid is very very sledujeme ! We're proud to have him and Mesar. Golden Slovak generation incoming. You're most welcome to come see them at the Bell Centre when they'll play together !
Ahoj Juraj, samozrejme blahoželáme, ostro Ťa sledujeme aj Paľa a ďalších, nedá mi nepovedať tú Tvoju realizáciu, čo by mnohokrát nedokázali aj starí mazáci, spravil si z nich štatistov, fakt úžasný gól, od skorého rána aspoň 100 krát, paráda. Držíme palce Tebe aj všetkým Slovákom v ťažkých začiatkoch, treba bojovať, vydržať a pevné zdravie, Ďakujeme a tešíme sa na ďalšie úspechy. Pozdrav zo Slovenska.
Male decko nahanajuce sa za čiernym kruhom. Však ale čo sa čudujem hokejosti nič nedokážu iba behať ako opice za objektom. Celý tento šport nedáva zmysel
It’s not just a goal. Reading the game, good movements off the puck in this situation. Winning back lost puck and at the end sniper shot. The emotional reaction is just perfect to me 😁 Go Habs Ho 🔵🔴⚪️
Quebecers have very long memories. That goal looks a lot like another very famous Slovak's goal : Peter Stastny is still a legend in Quebec City. This goal looks very similar to a goal Peter Stastny scored in 1978 as Team Czechoslovakia played against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Look it up, it's on RU-vid. It's great that Slafkovsky plays in Montreal where, if he is successful, he will be forever remembered.
0:57 Golden Moment, I started loving this young team, they seem to have a great atmosphere in the team and they are all hungry for success, they want to win every puck.
From TPS to the big leags! I've had the pleasure to see many of his games live. Every time he touches the puck, its above avarage handling. So sad he couldn't score more in the playoffs :(
I expected montreal would need a season to iron things out and look promising next year, but they seem to have fixed a lot of the problems already. Excited to see how far they can make it this year.
@@PeachRap that's not true at all lol, there's a MASSIVE difference between shaking up the roster/core and rebuilding. That term means a ton when you remove almost all of your key pieces for new pieces and have to fix all the issues and iron out all the problems that come with a brand new team. That's something that is rarely ever done the following season.
0:50 Arby telling Brown step back lol look at this dude pointing at him after Juraj scores. Gotta pause at timestamp to see no other angle really showed it.
Maybe that's what he needed....someone on the other team to hit him and get him a little mad! lol. I still think it's stupid to keep him on the 4th line but at least he showed what kind of shot he has!
Oh yeah. Slaf is gamer, he will be that playoff guy when he matures. More there is on the line, better he plays. Also, he will not be just average power forward, scoring and playmaking ability is there too.
nice 1st goal, congrats, but i feel sorry for brown, he was trying to do something for his team with the hit and doesnt deserve such reaction from juraj. and iam writing this as a Slovak
Suzuki with the filthiest of tributes to Datsyuk. Him and caufield don’t even look like kids trying hard to impress but rather well established marquees making it look easy
