Two Slovak hockey journalists, Šimon Čop and Štefan Bugan, are assessing the early performance of countrymen playing in the National Hockey League. Čop has followed every game of the Calgary team this season, while Bugan has watched all Montreal games. Both Juraj Slafkovský of Montreal and Šimon Nemc of Calgary have had a slow start, with each player only earning one point through the first five games. A new format for the “Morning with NHL” segment will feature the two journalists questioning each other about their respective teams. The discussion will likely focus on the struggles of the young Slovak players and potential for improvement. Comparisons may be made, questioning if Slafkovský’s trajectory will mirror that of former player Burrows. The segment aims to provide analysis of these early-season challenges.
