As the Montreal Canadiens leadership has observed, our super-talents

Slovakia – Canada (Ice Hockey World Championship 2022)
—

Although “we want a goal” or “hey, hey, hey, Slovakia” was heard, there were more shouts of the opponent’s fans.

“It’s a shame. We had to win this match so that we would not miss points in the fight for promotion. Why we always have to keep everything in the drama, “ David, a 30-year-old in a jersey with Juraj Slafkovsky’s 20, sighed.

There is no need to write about the popularity of the eighteen-year-old supertalent. Just look that the media, which has not stumbled on hockey for a year, also writes about it. However, it is also shown among the fans. In Helsinki, the names of Satan, Hoss or Tatar have traditionally dominated the jerseys, but the well-built young man is still bravely catching up with them. “I had a jersey made and after Beijing the choice of name was clear,” David continued.

His words are also confirmed by the aura around our team. The fact that there are two players in the top five places of the NHL draft is attracting much more attention. Feeling a bit similar to what happened around the Finnish national team between 2016 and 2019, when today’s NHL stars Patrick Laine, Sebastian Aho and Kaapo Kakko started in it. There were also several overseas journalists and scouts around them.

All the key men of the Montreal Canadiens leadership came to watch the German match with the Slovaks. They have directly shown that the fight for the draft unit does not have to be as determined as the Canadian media writes. They favor Shan Wright over Slafkovsky and possibly Simon the German.

Our supertalents were seen in the area by Chief of Staff Martin Lapointe, Vice President of Hockey Operations Jeff Gorton, General Manager Kent Hughes and the legendary Vincent Lecavalier, who works as a special advisor. You can also read with him on page 6 of this issue the exclusive interview he gave to our diary.

We talked after the first period, which the German ended with an unnecessary exclusion for a cross. “Do you know how much foolish fouls I’ve made in my career?” That happens. “ waved Vincent Lecavalier, who is clearly enjoying his new position in his hometown.

We’ll see if the Canadians can advise one of the Slovaks, or choose Wright’s Canadian fans as expected. We won’t find out until the beginning of July.
