Canadiens Winger Excited to Join Laine

Juraj Slafkovsky is thrilled to play with Patrik Laine.

During the NHL European Player Media Tour, he shared his excitement about the new team addition. The 2022 No. 1 draft pick mentioned how he often thinks about the upcoming season and who he’ll be playing with. “It’s funny, during the summer you wonder how things are going to be throughout the year and who you’re going to play with and what your role is going to be,” Slafkovsky said in an interview.

He even joked about wanting to skip training camp altogether . “I wish we could skip training camp and just start the season because I’m excited to play games that mean something,” he added.

Anticipation for New Season:

Fans might feel equally eager for this dynamic duo on ice. It’s a sentiment many share, looking forward to meaningful matches instead of practice sessions.

Slafkovsky’s enthusiasm is palpable, as he eagerly awaits real game action alongside Laine. His words reflect a strong desire to jump straight into competitive play without delay.
