shootout winner

 

[Waterbuf]

The jury is officially not in

Court is adjourned, motherf***ers

 

[D Wakaluk]

Classic HF

 

[PaulD]

In 50 more games played, he has almost caught up in points to widely regarded worst #1ovr pick of all time Alex Daigle, wow!!

Quick, sign this guy to a massive contract.

Nah, Dubas cut acquire him to do that.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Rarely do smaller guys who suck as bad as he did the first 3 years ever turn into much but given how high he was drafted you'd still say he had this year and next. If he did not show up after 24-25 you assume he's done as a possible top player. In general power forwards take awhile to develop more so

Who is this “smaller guy” you are talking about. Can’t be Laf who is 6’1.

 

[deca guard]

filthy was payed huge coin to whip up this reverse hex

 

[Lua]

The goals are nice, but more importantly he's finally starting to look dangerous with the puck and not like he's lost on the way to the bowlcut factory. He's been a legitimate threat.

 

[dm1371]

To the people here claiming he had no particular skill in any aspect of the game, proving them wrong! We're starting to see some confidence from the kid, what was clearly missing in his first 3 seasons. Love to see it, go Laf!

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

2 goals then tops it off with this in OT. The receipts are awesome here https://x.com/hayyyshayyy/status/1723900015041458202?s=46&t=26_x12cWOJlCYQ-yLb1QVw

6'1 is small in pro sports these days...hell, its small in real life for a guy...I'm 6'1 and 190 and do not consider myself a big guy at all

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

6'1 is small in pro sports these days...hell, its small in real life for a guy...I'm 6'1 and 190 and do not consider myself a big guy at all

i’m 5’9 and consistently feel like a giant so idk maybe you have low self esteem

 

[UnSandvich]

Filth.

6'1" is small for a guy in general? lol. Is this HF or Tinder?

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Lafs goals this year while shooting a definitely sustainable 25% have come against:

buffalo - second to last place team in division
seattle - 24th / 32nd place team
calgary - 30th / 32nd place team
oilers - 31st / 32nd place team
wild - 26th / 32nd place team
columbus - 28th / 32nd place team

I think its that women have gotten taller lol. I walk around work and 25% of them are my height or bigger in heels

Oh look - a factual but stupid narrative!

My turn!
He also has more than twice as many points as Flyers legend Claude Giroux did at the same age.

It's almost like some players progress differently than others... what a thought!

 

[phillyb]

That backhand in the shootout was gnarly.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

i think this guy is right for a 6’1 guy he’s pretty small

 

[ORRFForever]

[2014nyr]
