[Stefan Bugan] Czech reporter Darina Vymetalikova: “It surprises me that Slafkovsky is in Slovakia such a megacelebrity. Some journalists cover him like there are no other players. Even Pastrňák doesn’t have such a position in Czech republic. Maybe Jágr had it.“

I mean… maybe he’s better than Pasta?! Also he has a megastar personnality.
Maybe Czechs should be more enthusiastic about Pasta 🤷♂️
Slovakia has roughly half the population of Czechia (5.5M vs 10.5M). It seems normal to me that comparatively speaking, Slaf is a bigger star in his country than Pasta is.
I mean Pastrnak is a hell of a player but has the charisma of a tuna can.
They’ve been hailing him as the next great thing since he was like 15 and now he’s coming off a season where he’s really starting to show why.

I guess she not famous at home.
The guy showed up big in the Olympics before he was even drafted. I mean sure there weren’t active NHLers but still that’s incredibly impressive.
Reminds me of zucc in Norway lol
I wonder if there’s a chance of the league having a global series game in Bratislava or something?
He’s a special player. Sky is the limit with the kid.
