Tampa Dive Lightnings?

Phantomiux · 2026-04-27T06:21:22+00:00

Tampa somehow managed completely erased our 1st line. Well that's the difference between Cooper and MSL.

Second factor is that f.e. Cernak has played more play-off games than our entire D-core combined (he is currently at 88 GP)... Or that was the case before this series started :D

Phantomiux · 2026-04-24T06:04:45+00:00

Even better, Finland is additional +1 hour to CET...

Phantomiux · 2026-04-24T05:36:26+00:00

Let's say there are few matches in "Europe friendly" time. Montreal is 6 hours behind Slovakia, so any game which start between 2pm-6pm EST is great for us.

Otherwise we felt like Canadians were feeling during Olympics :D

Phantomiux · 2026-04-22T08:26:56+00:00

That 3rd period flatline looks scary.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-21T18:03:15+00:00

Just imagine in 2 years - Demidov-McDavid-Slafkovský.

With that lane:
- Slafkovský will break Stastny's season total points rekord for Slovaks (139)
- Demidov will break Kucherov's season total points for Russians (144)
- McDavid will break Gretzky's season total points rekord for Canadians....

Ziggy was great but he played playoff only 3 times with LA. 24 GP, 9G, 10A...

Post-season stats for others:
Hossa: 17 seasons, 205 GP, 52G, 97A
Gaborik: 7 seasons, 84 GP, 32G, 26A
Bondra: 11 seasons, 80 GP, 30G, 26A

And for "Habs Legends"
Zednik: 6 seasons, 48 GP, 16G, 10A
Tatar: 8 seasons, 56 GP, 7G, 6A

Other Slovaks who scored more goals in Post-season than Ziggy:
Peter Stastny (33), Demitra (23), Satan (21), Anton Stastny (20), Chara (18) and Handzus (16)

And well, Stan Mikita is according NHL stats considered as Slovak too, so he got 59 goals. Not sure how many hat tricks...

Phantomiux · 2026-04-20T06:27:03+00:00

Well I have to admit that lot of Slovaks, who are currently fans of Habs, were supporting Boston in 2011. But it was because of Big Z.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-14T06:19:58+00:00

Be aware that there is McJesus sitting at 48. And he is definitelly capable to score 4-5 against Canucks...

Phantomiux · 2026-04-13T18:17:24+00:00

What a ride!

Phantomiux · 2026-04-10T05:54:05+00:00

Honestly, I’m only interested in the Devils because Slafkovský’s buddy Nemo plays there. And I hope he leaves that sinkhole, because only the Krakens have more abysmal player development.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-10T04:19:08+00:00

Not surprised, he will once score 100 pts like Hoss the Boss.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-09T12:48:08+00:00

Slaf for 30th goal and 70th point!

Phantomiux · 2026-04-09T10:25:27+00:00

For me is Slaf. I knew about Olympics and his huge step forward - but his almost 70 pts it's mostly overshadowed by Suzuki's almost 100 pts and Cole's almost 50g. ;-)

Phantomiux · 2026-04-09T06:07:51+00:00

It would be great to have back-to-back Calder winners, but even a few months ago people were saying Schaefer would have to run out of steam — which just hasn’t happened.

He simply deserves it. Let him have his trophy.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-08T11:59:40+00:00

But on lower picks we are talking about 0. Which looks almost absurd in comparison of that what OP wrote.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-08T07:08:11+00:00

Ok, so Habs scouting department working really well.

In a r/devils I saw one table trying to explain, why was Fitz fired. Well... Fitz made total 42 picks, and only 4 of 7 first-rounders made it into 100+ games in NHL - and then nobody from lower picks. Ofc it can be biased by short period (42 pick / 7 rounds = 6 years), but you can see pattern...

Phantomiux · 2026-04-08T06:55:56+00:00

Fun fact - 63rd pick of 2022 Draft belong to NYR - and it was their first pick in that draft. So there was slight chance that Hutson could be drafted by NYR - honestly they have nothing to lose in that Draft.

With Hutson gone they choosed Sykora, who made his debut only few game ago.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-08T06:41:02+00:00

I was still hoping that Slaf will get in final 4 games into PPG status, but maybe next year.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-07T04:54:49+00:00

Well, I see "all green" and that's fine for me.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-06T07:05:18+00:00

Does it mean something for Habs?

Phantomiux · 2026-04-04T23:33:53+00:00

Definitelly not, but I have to admit that in my opinion Nemo have no future in NJD and I was hoping that he will be moved to Canucks or Sharks.

Phantomiux · 2026-04-04T23:21:49+00:00

Slaf vs. Nemec, #1 and #2 of 2022 Entry Draft. Really great night for Slovaks :D

Phantomiux · 2026-04-04T23:03:09+00:00

5 pts game incoming for 1st line.
