Hockey Prophets Player Notes
NameNote TypeNoteWriterGame WatchedGame DateDate ViewedGame Number
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteUp 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 FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteFlips 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 FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteBlocks a shot, collects the puck from his feet, tries to move it out of his zone, but Ostlund takes the puck away.Brian FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteNot 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 FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteRight point on the powerplay, just fired a bombing one-timer.Brian FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteUses his body well for position superiority.Brian FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteNot 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 FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteDraws 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 FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskySummaryIn 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 FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)8/4/20215/4/202210260
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteSecond powerplay unitBrian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteSo much height and strength, and to move that well, it’s a dangerous combination.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteSoft hands in traffic.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteAccelerates better than you'd expect for someone that big, and it’s disarming for defenders. It's like a mountain leaps at you.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteSo manueverable, slides into the slot, backhands a good shot of the short-side post against the grain. Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteBig wrist shot from the high slot off the draw.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteExtremely 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 FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteSweet no-look pass to Mesar to set up a scoring chance.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskySummaryThere 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 FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteContinues to be effective in getting the puck up ice and on net.Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup8/7/20219/14/202110234
Juraj SlafkovskyNoteDrives the puck up the right, slides it over, goal. He made that play with effort, speed, determination.Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup8/7/20219/14/202110234
