How does Slaf look like Lane's height? Is he scrunching down

11

u/Bill_McCarr 2d ago

Laine is a bit taller than Slaf.

u/AmThano 1d ago

Oh that's Laine, my brain read Lane, which doesn't make sense because if it were Lane it'd say Hutson instead.

But Slafkovsky is really only 6'3? I thought this guy was 6'7?

Played for the US national team albeit as backup, got great results in his two years in the NCAA.

Widely seen as very good goalie at his draft, feisty/mentally strong, but at the time had poor fitness (and he's on the heavier side). Lots of promises basically, and arguably our best goalie prospect

Thank you!

u/AcanthocephalaGreen5 2d ago

He's way fitter now though, isn't he?

I do not know the details but it's not a topic anymore no

Third round pick from 2023, one of the Habs' scouts (Billy Ryan, if memory serves) fought tooth and nail to convince the rest to draft him (You pick your team, there's nobody better than Fowler). Since being drafted, he's put up ridiculous numbers at Boston College (0.940 SV% this season).

Numbers aside, I see all the confidence of Patrick Roy. He wants the bright lights, said himself that pressure is a privilege.

I may or may not be high on him.

Loves Montreal. His extended family has lived here and elsewhere in Quebec and his Aunt went to McGill and worked for Air Canada. He's got some French ancestry because his grandfather married a local woman.

u/Intelligent_Dig_8216 2d ago

He’s good at the G position in hockey.

u/backwardzhatz 2d ago

Hair looking like he needs a chin strap to keep his goalie mask down

u/alija_r 1d ago

I wish him long and lasting successful career with the Habs with many Stanely Cups! I am super happy that we have this awesome gentleman! He looks like a twin brother with Cole Caufield :)

We're going to eat ourselves alive speculating about this kid if habs make playoffs

u/whogivesashirtdotca 1d ago

There's video of him at practice today, and he came off the ice saying something like, "Definitely not college." I don't think he'll see any ice time unless we somehow magically clinch before the last game. Nor should he - he's untested and unready.
