That’s definitely not true haha. I mean you’re joke probably went over my head but he’s stated many times that he would choose the Habs as the one team he could go to in the draft because they were his childhood team.

when did he state that? in interviews with french media where they ask him almost an "exclamation" question? Hey Alexis who did you cheer for as a youth, habs rigth? you would realy realy like to be drafted by the habs rigth?

He might have watched the habs as a kid, but i can confirm you he's a Ducks fan.

Like i said you can choose to believe me or not, all i'm saying is Lafreniere was a Ducks fan and i have credible source. You can choose to ignore someone you don't know at all, that's completely legitimate.

Were they the Mighty Ducks back then? Kids loved that team because of the movie and the cute critter that a duck is.

He could have been a Hab fan and really liked the ducks too. What's this witch hunt about?

No he was born in 2001 and they became the Ducks in 2005. They won the Cup in 2006-07, when he would have been 5 years old.

All that shows is what his parents dressed him up as when he wasn't old enough to choose for himself.

I don't know or care what team he cheered for honestly, just saying this isn't proof of anything.

It really isn't. At the age of about 7, I was a Kings fan because of Wayne Gretzky. I grew out of that pretty quickly and have been a Canadiens fan for the large majority of my life. What you like as a child doesn't stay with you forever.

I agree, but at least it's something more than "well I heard from someone that he's a Ducks fan, just trust me on this"

He was born and grew up just outside of Montreal. His parents are huge Habs fans (documented) and there's clearly a shrine of him in Habs gear, that is still up. Until I see him say "I was actually a Ducks fan growing up" then I'll believe he probably cares more about the Habs.

Either way, it doesn't matter, but at least I provided something.

just like you can be a fan of the team of your city growing up and be a fan of an other team when you actually understand the game growing up. Let's get real Montreal has never been an interesting team in his time and not everyone.

There's also picture of Suzuki with a Habs jersey as youth and he was a Leafs fan. Whenever you want to believe what i said or not is your choice and i respect that.

i still stand by what i said, the source isn't a neighbour who knows his aunt, it's someone in the hockey world who's in contact with the kid.
