Player Discussion Alexis Lafreniere

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

It took another guy from Montreal a while to make it to the top and for some reason when I see Laf on screen I’m reminded of Sami Zayn.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

It's funny I saw his first goal and thought it was pretty and when I read that he scored a goal of the year candidate on the mainboards from our old friend Pavel Buchnevich I thought it was the first one. But holy shit that second one!

 

[inranger94]

Wait till he shaves his head next year.

I was so wrong about this kid that if someone told me my punishment is to be stripped naked and have my nipples electrocuted in front of my whole family I wouldn’t even argue.

You have no idea how badly I want to eat crow on Kakko. Like. f***. I want all of our kids to succeed.

Post game they asked him why the improvement this year and you cited the work he put in during the summer. Kid look the heat and put the work in. Now his immense talent to flourishing on the big stage. Love the evolution. He plays like a modern power player with skill. He hits and can be a bull at times but then other times pulls out his toe drag shit for some beauties. Cant say enough good about what this kids did last summer and where it helped him get today.

 

[OthmannOut]

Oh captain my captain

 

[Levitate]

Let's see Jack HUghes do that in a playoff game!!


...eh on second thought let's not

Jack hughes would have been injured the second the puck dropped against florida.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

We've gone a ways from idiots who have never played slow pitch softball analyzing his slow pitch softball swing.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

His backhand is his go-to shot and one of his biggest strengths. Showcased tonight, obviously.

pure, signature laf

 

[Crease]

I said it yesterday, his backhand is Crosby-esque.

 

[NYRKing]

Can’t stop watching the two goals. He’s got the Crosby back hand. Absolute gem of a touch.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I think I said he’d be a f***ing stud

Now if only kakko can remember he used to be a star too lol

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Just a f***ing stud

 

[Rongomania]

Every goal he scores from here on out let’s repost something a fan who hasn’t publicly eaten his words here posted last summer.

*And big up to you boys shaming yourselves for not believing in him.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, Trocheck looked like Peyton Manning hitting Laf in stride on the first goal.

Doesn't even need to be last summer. Got a laugh emoji from a Devils fan, just last week when I said he's better than Svechnikov.

Fans who are just looking at box scores and forming their opinions, have got no f***ing idea how good the kid is.

In this post season he has been the most dynamic player I’ve ever seen play F on this team in the playoffs. He outshines bread almost nightly.

Alexis Lafrenière is 22 years old and plays about zero PP1 time.

It's been like 45 games at this point where he's almost point per game player almost at even strength.

 

[Cournoyer12]

This is coming from a Habs fan, kudos to the Rangers management for sticking with Laf and resisting the urge to trade him!! He is the new version of Rod Gilbert !

 

[xsniper11x]

pure, signature laf

That and his hand eye coordination were elite parts of his game, even at his worst. His backhand is almost Crosby-esque.

[HolyHagelin]

Man, love to see everyone eating crow, i came into this thread ready to spike the ball.

So happy to have “that dude,” which he is becoming right now.
