Player Notes:
| Player Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Method Viewing | Game Date | Game |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Not putting a lot of effort into defense. He's there, and he's active, but I'd like to see him really working instead of monitoring. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Not a dynamic skater, but he gets around the ice well. He's just a big, strong forward with soft hands and an imposing pro power forward style. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Draws a penalty in the corner just because Havelid had to grab him to try to keep him from muscling his way out with the puck and into a dangerous scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Up the right side with the puck, hard stop, head up, fires a long diagonal pass to the left side of the blue line for a solid one-timer chance. Good find. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Right point on the powerplay, just fired a bombing one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Summary | In a game where the Slovakian jerseys (red numbers on blue field) made it incredibly difficult to identify players, Slafkovsky was a clear stand out. His size, his style, his dominance on the puck all made it fairly obvious who he was on the ice. This game was nine months old, and Slafkovsky has grown into his game even more in the meantime, but he's a clear power forward NHL talent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Flips a long wrister from just inside the blue line near the center point, trying to give his man at the side of the crease a deflection opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Uses his body well for position superiority. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Blocks a shot, collects the puck from his feet, tries to move it out of his zone, but Ostlund takes the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | Video (With Replay) | 8/4/2021 | 10260 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | So manueverable, slides into the slot, backhands a good shot of the short-side post against the grain. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | Video (With Replay) | 12/26/2021 | 10257 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Summary | There is a reason that Slafkovsky is a top prospect in the draft. He's big, agile, balanced, coordinates his feet and hands into effective play generation, and he has a big shot that he uses well. Future NHLer, no question. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | Video (With Replay) | 12/26/2021 | 10257 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | So much height and strength, and to move that well, it’s a dangerous combination. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | Video (With Replay) | 12/26/2021 | 10257 |

| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Extremely difficult to move off the puck. His feet allow him to reposition himself between the puck and the defender, his hands keep the puck out of reach, and his size absorbs physical pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | Video (With Replay) | 12/26/2021 | 10257 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Accelerates better than you'd expect for someone that big, and it’s disarming for defenders. It's like a mountain leaps at you. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | Video (With Replay) | 12/26/2021 | 10257 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Sweet no-look pass to Mesar to set up a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | Video (With Replay) | 12/26/2021 | 10257 |
| Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | Video (With Replay) | 12/26/2021 | 10257 |
