This morning, Juraj Slafkovsky played his first Olympic game of 2026.
On the heels of the first game of the men's tournament against Finland (but without Oliver Kapanen), the Canadiens player scored the first goal of the men's tournament.
And of course, it was clearly a star goal. Not everyone can do that.

In 2022, Slaf put himself on the map with an excellent performance at the Olympics. Recently, in Montreal, he also took his line with Ivan Demidov and Oliver Kapanen to the next level.
So seeing him score a goal like that doesn't surprise me.
Details to come…
