MAJOR: a very big name has just summoned Juraj Slafkovsky for a private meeting and we have the details
Wow! We often forget it, but what Juraj Slafkovsky represents for his country is major.
He truly is a pillar and an idol in Slovakia for millions of people.
We had another proof of this last night after the game against the Washington Capitals, during which the young Slafkovsky scored two big goals.
Slaff was summoned for a meeting with none other than the ambassador of Slovakia! It's extremely rare to see that.
After his great performance in the American capital, a significant visit indeed awaited the young European forward of the Canadiens.
«We waited for Juraj Slafkovsky for a long time after the game. It's because the ambassador of Slovakia had asked to meet him, just like that, as a proud compatriot.
That's an excellent reason!»
- Luc Gélinas, RDS
Anyway, these days, he is making a lot of people extremely proud!
Slafkovsky, who is only 19 years old, has accumulated 9 goals and 13 assists, for a total of 22 points in 49 games this season with the Canadiens.
Do you believe he will score 40 points this season?
Anyway, his progression has been truly rapid so far and especially in the past few weeks.
