A Pure Laine Hat Trick in Montreal vs the Sabres

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

that shot though? I had to rewind a couple of times to see his first shot, on the short side, go in. Wow. I think he had 3 goals on 5 shots + a post. Wow. Been a minute since we’ve witnessed a shot like that….here.

HuGo are gamblers, I’m sure they have a number & term that would work for them, now. However, we all know if a GM makes them an offer they can’t refuse at this TDL or next, they will seriously run their numbers by PL.

Laine has had a front seat to our miserable season and yet, he still seems genuinely happy and pleased to be part of what we’re building. He’s having fun & retrospective enough to identify areas of his game he can improve. That maybe our only way to keep him, if he sees future success and a comfortable/peaceful mindset in Mtl.

If he plays well he’ll be untouchable at trade deadline. You don’t trade a fan favorite with time left on contract when that player by all indications wants to stay and sign for long term.

If he doesn’t play well then nobody is likely to offer a good return and there’s one more trade deadline to come.

Given all that’s happened I don’t see another team taking the risk that he moves cities mid-season and ends up losing the joy that he seems to currently have.

We may be witnessing the Liane everyone projected in his draft year. A perennial elite 50 goal scorer.

Optimistically speaking, PL may have figured out the cheat code for happiness & consistent elite play. We deserve nice things too, lol. As a PL fan I think if can get to 35+ goals this year (30g 50gms) that’s elite.
