A fitting start to the 2022-23 campaign for San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl, who scored his club's first goal of the season in front of his hometown crowd in Prague.

not so many, I guess...especially if Slaf is going down to Laval, the farm team of the Canadiens...

 

in any case, since Nova Sport (they have the NHL TV rights in SVK and CZE) is shared between CZE and SVK and they're actually based in CZE, I don't think they will never be too much Slaf-centric...they still have many players to watch in so many different teams...

ps I told everybody since the days of the draft that MTL was the worst place where he could have landed...

 

and here we are...

8 Slovaks survived the cut and will start the NHL season

 

The son of god just did it. Slaf survived yesterday last cut and thus will this Thursday "destroy" the national record as the youngest ever slovak to play a NHL game

 

The biggest surprise is however Pavol Regenda, a non-drafted guy, who last season played in slovak league in Michalovce, survived the last cut in Anaheim and will complete an incredible "holly-wood-style" story this Thursday as well.

 

Also this years draft number 2 Šimon Nemec made the cut as well and is among the 7 New Jersey defenders for this season

 

Btw fun fact from this years Draft : Only 3 players made it to the final teams ! and two of them are Slovaks ! Never been more proud ! Slafkovský and Nemec the numbers 1 & 2 and Canadian Wright number 4
