Wright as a hemorrhoid? He was disgusting! Slafkovský wins journalists – Pravda

When you click on Canadian internet media today – even four days after the draft – it’s still about Juraj Slafkovski. The Slovak, who shockingly got the NHL draft.

The original comments were very cautious about the 18-year-old Košičan, rather skeptical, the media representatives were surprised that the chosen player of the Canadiens was not Shane Wright, a young Canadian, who was talked about in connection with the draft unit for three or four years. However, after the ceremony and a few days later, representatives of the media also start coming to the Slovak super talent for a taste. In his column for the Montreal Gazette, Jack Todd wrote that the local hockey club took a bigger risk in Slavski, but with a potentially bigger reward. A Canadian journalist even criticized Wright’s behavior during the draft itself… “Three picks later than Slafkovský, Shane Wright, a long-time favorite of Montreal, went to the Seattle Kraken. When he stared at the Canadiens table before leaving the podium, it was a little disgusting, and if you had a problem with Slafkovski before, Wright’s behavior changed that,” Todd wrote. “Slafkovsky seemed relaxed, likeable and determined, public opinion quickly began to turn in his favor. I know, personality isn’t everything. Auston Matthews is about as likable as hemorrhoid surgery — but only a fool would say he can’t play hockey. And young Mr. Wright would have to add a few more layers of badass to get close to Matthews,” the Canadian reporter gloated. He immediately called Wright a safer choice. “Slafkovský is a bigger risk, but potentially a bigger reward,” he added. In the end, you asked the most important question. Was Slafkovský the right choice? He answered as follows: “I like Slovak hockey players. Jaroslav Halák performed above his weight category in goal. If Slafkovský has Halák’s heart, with his own physical gifts, he will be a huge asset to the Canadiens. If not, fine – get back to me in five years.” Read more Canadian legend marvels: Slafkovsky?
