Shesty needs to stop scoring on himself
Nice! Laffy can really change the outlook of this team if he starts scoring those high chance shots
Fan of the laba, laff, cool line. Allows bread, Mika, miller to dominate line 1.
Yes I absolutely think Laffy will break out , seems like I'm the only one on Facebook. I think he's doing a lot of good things ,just needs to get a few goals to gain confidence back. That's all he's missing is that big word" confidence" .
Laffy has been very sleepy for a while now. He got paid and isnt getting it done.
Lafreniere should be in the press box
Trade Laf now because he’s not going to get better. We have to be realistic in that he’s a bust. I once thought he was the guy to get 100+ points a year and one day become the team captain. But right now he’s AHL material. He doesn’t score. And Cuyle isn’t doing great either. Chris Kreider has more goals than both these guys combined. That absolutely sucks.
Where does Trocheck go if you leave Laba as 2nd line center . I love the kid , hope he holds down that spot. Does Trocheck go to 3 rd line ? I hope these kids keep coming and produce . These are good problems , as long as Drury doesn’t trade them away .
What a joke. Useless. Guy is a loafer. Maybe Milbury can use him to beat up a fan.
been walking Soucy closely, he's been steady and making good plays.
put troch in power play and penalty kill, put him on the third line, spread out the talent and also give him time to get back in the swing.
Lafreniere is a playmaking LW – When….when is he going to be put in the slot? Sixth year in the league and he's still stuck on his backhand on RW or on his forehand facing the boards. The new line is more of the same.
If this team was interested in getting the most from their 1st overall – novel idea here – Put Him In His Position. It's that simply. That new line would look dangerous if Laf was on left and Cuylle crashing the net from the right. But for some strange, non-hockey reason, we're not going to see that. Sheary will get top six LW before this team will put their 1st overall in his position. Just trade him already.
They are in fact, stoppable.
Need to play Quick more often. He is great for his age.
Lafy needs to get the hell away from Panarin. They both play the same position but the Rangers continue to put him at RW and he’s a LW. Keep him with Laba & Cuylle and watch him become the player they thought he would become. Hopefully Sullivan is not a moron and put him back with Panarin & Trocheck.
Laf lacks hockey sense plain and simple. He doesn’t anticipate or think ahead as play is happening. The NHL game is too fast and sophisticated for his slower hockey mind. He has talent but lacks basic hockey smarts and the drive to be great like Crosby and McDavid and other number one draft picks have in their belly and minds. He has been overwhelmed by the pro game since day one.
Laffy cant hit the net, cant find the open man, for a #1, should be warming the bench
Team is toast just like this channel.
There’s a reason why no one is subscribing 😂 are you even watching the games Laffy sucks . Go have your eyes checked friend
Laf is worth $3 million, not 7. He will never play to the level of a $7 million player. His contract needs to be redone and more in line with his talent. Drury jumped the gun, and this will hurt their cap space.
He's an enigma…hes not an elite player or point producer…but he's not a bottom line guy because he's not tough to play against..not a top 6 guy…but not a bottom 6 guy
Trade Lafrenière and paniran to the kings for Kevin fiala and a 1st rd pick
