Viral Scene Involving Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield Gaining Traction Online
The Montreal Canadiens achieved their 10th victory of the season in Columbus yesterday.
During this game, a particular line stood out, as it has in most recent matches, consisting of Juraj Slafkovsky, Cole Caufield, and Christian Dvorak.
Technically, this unit scored just one goal, but they were central to several significant scoring opportunities for the Canadiens.
There's a growing chemistry between Caufield and Slafkovsky, opening up numerous possibilities for the future of the organization. Both players have been dominant in 5-on-5 play lately, especially in the offensive zone, adding an extra layer of strength to Martin St-Louis's gameplay.
In fact, Slafkovsky has been playing the best hockey of his young NHL career since being paired with Caufield.
A sequence of nearly two minutes of offensive zone time has been generating a lot of buzz on social media.
As you can see, Caufield, Slafkovsky, and Dvorak, along with the two defensemen on the ice with them, maintained strong control of the game, creating multiple scoring opportunities in a single sequence.
Many reactions have surfaced, with some even saying it was the best play sequence of the season.
«This is probably the best sequence from the Canadiens in years. I'm not kidding. Caufield and Slafkovsky kept passing the puck back and forth. Slafkovsky won battles along the boards, demonstrating the absolute necessity of this skill to succeed in the NHL. None of this happens without the battles won along the boards.»
Another person commented similarly, though also threw Josh Anderson under the bus in the process.
«Slafkovsky-Dvorak-Caufield just had one of the best sequences of the season for MTL. Naturally, Anderson ended it the second he replaced Slaf.»
If you notice, at the end of the sequence, it's evident that as soon as Anderson came onto the ice, the puck control ended the moment he touched the puck.
Imagine if Kirby Dach were to form a line with them, it could be one of the most exciting trios to watch in years for the Canadiens.
