Lafreniere's Cellys

Can someone teach this kid how o celebrate a goal?

He acts like he's done before, I like it, he looks 100% happier last couple weeks

Celebrates like his dog died. Naslund reborn.

Yeah I like it to, same with Kakko. Little emotion, save that for the really big goals.

It's hockey. They're not allowed to celebrate because that might mean that they're being disrespectful.

Always hated this thinking in hockey.

 

It’s men’s league,I just scored, guess what? I’m celebrating! Unless it’s like 10-0 the yea that’s rude.

I wish someone would start doing it. It’s awesome and the fans love it. Fuck you [emoji51]

Nobody thinks that way in hockey in 2021.

 

Personally I don't care what he does when he scores, just stop being useless.

Look at the uproar when Matthews did the goal point or the hand to the ear. Those were only a couple of years ago. I unfortunately think the game has moved forward that much in that short of time.

 

McDavid scores some of the sickest goals in the league on a nightly basis and he barely cracks a smile.

I’ve played with people who still give you shit when you do.

 

But yea agree with your second thought

You celly when you get laid.

 

If you got laid twice a night, you'd stop cellying.

This is an area where Buch showed great improvement (he used to look like he just got yelled at his dad for not scoring a nicer goal no matter what happened). So maybe there is hope for Lafreniere.

The modesty of the NHL has always been one of it's best qualities. I don't watch hockey to see what celebration some guy thinks up in his hotel room in front a mirror posing himself like a clown. Let the NFL have it. I watch for the game. I personally love the modesty of NHL players. Connor McDavid doesn't need to pull sharpie out of his glove and sign the puck when he scores for people to recognize him as great. At some point the NFL started giving off the perception that individual success is more important than winning. I like the perception that the NHL player would give up a testicle to win a cup and do it while taking no credit fro their achievements

There comes a point where too much modesty creates a bunch of walking canned intermission interview answers though. Growing up we'd watch the VHS hockey tapes that would show Theo Fleury's first goal celebration, showing Tie Domi sitting on his stick like Tiger Williams, and Selanne throwing his glove up in the air to shoot it etc, and as kids we'd all try to emulate that stuff. It made things fun, and that fun has always been the greatest part about hockey despite all the hard work anyone puts into it. I wouldn't expect everyone to go crazy, but I'm more in the position that people shouldn't have to hold back because they want to be perceived a certain way.

 

In any case, Lafreniere is most likely under a lot of pressure right now to be an impact player, and if he can let loose a little when he's comfy, so be it.

It's not modesty it's forced modesty. Personality and personal achievement are largely coached out of players from a very young age, and as we know from literally every other league, personalities sell the game.

Theo's was awesome!!, and the Selane "Machine gun to the glove" was always worth the wait.

 

I think Laffy will get with the program soon...let him score a few first!!! LOL

I think his celly is fighting to catch his next breath this season. I know we kid around about it but with good reason imo. I would bet there's a noticeable difference next season.

I agree.

 

He will be in better shape and know what to expect as well. A full training camp will likely help a lot as well

Agree 100%, boys!!

 

He's gonna be a super player, I think. The last few weeks you can even feel he's getting the flow a little more.

 

...fucking kid can't even go celebrate with a drink at a bar yet!!!! LOL

 

Love watching them grow up though; Him, Kakko, and Kravvy are becoming "must see TV".

Rangers twitter shows one from Lafreniere from just about every practice

Laffy celebrates off the ice with an extra large double-double and a box of Maple Dip Timbits.
