For the fans who also play hockey, this channel has some great breakdowns of techniques that players of all skill levels can learn. This particular video highlights Laf's goal against Florida, comparing it to a similar goal by McDavid.
I'm sharing it here for two reasons. First, I just think it's a great channel for anyone who wants to improve their own game, and second, I think he correctly identifies how much Laf's confidence has grown and how much more he's capable of. I don't think this coach is implying Laf will turn into the next McDavid – he's generally been viewed in a tier below the McDavids and Crosbys – but Laf is still a special player with unique skills.
Despite the immense disappointment of how the season ended after all the incredible achievements and milestones, I for one am still very excited to see what's in store for our guys, especially Laf. Among all the doom and gloom, some of which is justifiable, I think it's important to highlight how far Laf has come and how much better he potentially could be.

Great share, I agree with you if there’s one silver lining to how the season ended it’s Laf’s play in the playoffs. He was one of the few players who elevated his game the harder it got. People talk about getting more 16 game players on this team, Laf seems like he’s one of them.
