Indeed, the two Montreal Canadiens players combined their efforts to deliver a good old-fashioned "sandwich" check on Steven Lorentz, who had no choice but to collapse on the ice.
Honestly, we would not have liked to be in the Panthers forward's place. After all, we're talking about a forward who is 6 feet 3 inches and 230 pounds, and a defender who is 6 feet 4 inches and 240 pounds.
During his post-game press conference, the Blue-White-Red's number 20 reflected on that famous check. The Slovak forward mentioned that seeing Arber Xhekaj coming at full speed, he felt very privileged not to be in the middle.
Certainly, it's very encouraging to see Juraj Slafkovsky using his size to his advantage and adopting an increasingly robust style of play. He clearly has the attributes to do so, as he continues to progress at a rapid pace.
