Slafkovsky Torches Finland in Olympic Upset
Juraj Slafkovsky, the Canadiens' budding star, wastes no time reminding the world why he was the top pick, lighting the lamp twice against Finland's stacked lineup in Slovakia's Group B opener. The 21-year-old dekes past Roope Hintz and wires one past Juuse Saros, channeling the same magic that earned him MVP honors in Beijing four years ago. With Samuel Hlavaj stonewalling 39 shots, Slovakia flips the script on the 2022 champs despite being outshot badly.
