Slavakov is not particularly a fan of media scrums, but at the same time he knows he has to do it as a leader of the Pride. Wearing the A means taking on additional responsibilities and his number gets called for the scrums more than anyone except for Svenson and Bordeleau. It would be nice if we didn’t have to do it right after a game and could do it the next day, but Slavakov understands why reporters want to get players takes right after the game. When it comes to the post game interviews, Slavakov does prefer being able to sit in the press room and do the interview versus answering questions at his locker since he wants to be able to de-stress in his own space before speaking to the press. If someone has a bad game, usually @Caleb because he’s a bust, Slavakov is more than willing to talk to the media in their place.
