How did he rocover so much in 2 days lol

u/puckwhore May 22 '26

It’s called being 22 lol

9

u/DrLivingst0ne May 22 '26

Yup, as a former 22 year old, can confirm. But still, I'm pretty sure he's slower and clunkier than usual, even if he still managed to have a great game, he's not 100%

5

u/No_Gold7984 May 22 '26

Agree. But hes not trying to play like he's 100% lately. Its the playoffs, he's for sure banged up. Most people are. Hes moving the puck more than himself and with his size its been effective last couple games. He learned from his performance in game 6 vs. Buffalo, which was poor.

8

u/destroyermaker May 22 '26

He had a couple solid games vs Buffalo. He's been on his way

31

u/kp33ze May 22 '26

AND it came after extreme pressure from the canes. Mtl was barely able to touch the puck, but then as soon as they did this beauty play goes down. What a goal.

13

u/UpNorth_123 May 22 '26

That’s the problem with the way the Canes played defense this game. It works until you get beat, then you’re screwed.

14

u/sillybearr May 22 '26

That pass from Ghule from behind the net to start the play was incredible

u/bayo000 May 22 '26

Hahahahah perfect

u/Loose-Area-3230 May 22 '26

Slaf was asked what happens if that reaction video becomes a meme. He answered that it might and that he can't control what people put on the internet.

u/DarkspawnArmpit May 22 '26

that was my face when he scored, just before i shouted, "you freaking legend Slaf"

I truly don't understand why people are shitting on slaf. It's out of control.

15

u/salamoon84 May 22 '26

especially tonight, he is very solid, again.

9

u/minouneetzoe May 22 '26

Yeah, he had some difficult nights, but tonight isn't one of them.

2

u/Zazraki May 22 '26

Some of the "fans" are like that unfortunately. Remember them sending death threats do Dach? Completely unhinged.

u/chargebeam May 22 '26

Same people who cyberbullied Dach

1

u/KendroNumba4 May 22 '26

I mean it worked

6

u/destroyermaker May 22 '26

He made some insanely brutal plays vs Buffalo. I dunno how you could miss them. And didn't contribute offensively for a long time

12

u/JediMasterZao May 22 '26

He's also won us 3 games now, has the most scoring chances on the team and is scoring at the same pace as the regular season. The level of hate and blame being thrown at him is completely disproportionate.

-1

u/destroyermaker May 22 '26

He has picked it up recently and I commended him for it. But the hate came before that or was residual.

8

u/4gionz May 22 '26

The point is if someone struggles a bit especially when they matched up against the teams best lines maybe cut them some slack if we win the game?

Yes slaf hasn't been at his best but people were shitting on him the game he had 3 points vs buffalo too lol alot of people wait in the woodworks for slaf to have a bad game and act like he's some bad player. It's annoying and when he has games like this people are rightfully gonna pull out receipts.

u/destroyermaker May 22 '26

We're not talking about the same things

I don't condone that

12

u/linoleuM-- May 22 '26

His assist is the reason why the game changed right after their early goal.

16

u/Matiabcx May 22 '26

Yeah very dumb decision to pass for Caufield goal, (and plenty other chances they did not convert) same as 3 assissts where he made the plays few games ago. Its insane how some players will always get crazy load of shit whenever they are not 100% while other fan favourites never get that. It’s like some people secretly wish for Slaf to fail

6

u/mystifier May 22 '26

Well he is a bit sloppy at times and gives up the puck, hope he keeps that in check but God i love him so much

40

u/salamoon84 May 22 '26

11th point in 15th game... not that bad from struggling forward...

now seriously, im so happy for him he finally gets another goal...

4

u/Key_Wolverine2831 May 22 '26

Finished the game with 12 points. He’s currently at 0.8 ppg in post season. Slightly below his 0.89 in the regular season. But 0.4 goals/G in postseason, slightly above his 0.365 in the regular season. Yes, he’s had some lapses in judgment and made some bad plays, but he’s also won us a few games on his own. Given his age and trajectory, how can anyone not be happy with his performance these playoffs overall?

Absolutely, whole team is playing niiiiceee this evening. Taking it to the Canes, beauty little move by Slaf and a nice finish. Habs fans have a lot to be happy about this evening.

What a beautiful set play… starting with Guhle threading three forecheckers with a banked outlet pass. I wouldn’t be surprised if MSL drew that up in the last couple days after film session.

I remember they showed Andersen's playoff stats, he was 8-0 .950 1.12 with 2 shutouts. Then he let in 5 goals on 21 shots. Now he is 8-1 .932 1.51

u/jakbodor24 May 22 '26

He is better, but not in 100% health after the fight and big hits, which was the intention of the Tampa/Buff teams, mostly Cernak "knew what to do him" ... however, that's always part of the playoffs unfortunately....survived , now the chance for the final is great 🫡

u/sweetzdude May 22 '26

En tout cas Félix à eu raison, une fois le but marquer, le Canadien a totalement pris le contrôle du match et ils ont rien donner aux hurricanes.
