That was smooth as hell. Couple stick handles and boom, open space. Sick move.
Can’t be him. I’ve been told he has no elite skills
Do you have a strawman you talk to.
Honest question here given some of your claims.
He has and still is for now the consensus #1 pick for the 20 draft for a reason.
Can’t be him. I’ve been told he has no elite skills
Has anyone actually told you that?
It’s been stated by quite a few posters that he “isn’t elite at anything” and just very good at everything.
Sadly yes, on more than one occasion.
The line “isn’t elite in any one skill, but good at everything” has become a way too common way to describe him
1+3 in a big win against the previously undefeated Eagles. Now 13 pts in 5 games, and tied for 1st in the Q in scoring
13pts in 5 games but I think it’s even crazier he only has 3 goals on THIRTY-TWO shots!
He’s about to go off and tear this league a new one. He’s on a mission.

Noticed that too, shooting at just over 9% when he averaged around 19% in his first two seasons. Gonna have a scary year.

sincerety
After a slow start, Alexis has scored 3+8=11 in his last 3 games (3.66 ppg)
Somebody got ticked after Byfield's great start

10 shots on goal, good lord. The Lafrenière steamroller is on.
Also good to see some of his teammates do well tonight. This hockey club is average at best.
Now imagine this guy with potent linemates.

Yep, he’s had very mediocre support the past two seasons. I’d love to see either Rimouski add and go for it this year or trade him to a contender to see what he can do with another elite scorer.
IMO last year, people often overstated how bad the Océanic would be without Lafrenière. They didn't have a lot of big prospects, especially offensively, but they had a number of solid older guys and were solid defensively.
But now many of these guys (D'Astous, Huntington, Lepage, Garneau, Mackinnon, Gagnon...) either graduated or had to leave, and the organization didn't do much to replace them. So now you have things like 16 year-old Belliveau having to replace 2019 Dman of the year D'Astous as the team's top offensive D. That's a bit odd to me; since this is likely Lafrenière's last season in the league, you'd think they'd make more of an effort to stock up for a championship run. Of course they'll have opportunities to do that later, but still...
Then again, they're having a great start to the season, so what the f*** do I know

He got ejected from the game tonight for verbal abuse against a referee. He's probably getting suspended one game.

Apparently, the league decided to let it go, since he's playing today.
Still he needs to cut this shit out. Yes he's young, but he's also the captain. He yaps to the refs a lot, and it's not the first time that he takes a bad penalty out of frustration.

crazy he's scoring at a torrid pace while shooting at below 10%. Players like him usually score around the 20%. Bergevin needs to trade half the team and draft him somehow
