Looked to me like Laine had rediscovered the joy of having a puck on his stick and hearing the roar of the crowd - he was playing hockey like he was a kid again and it was nice to watch. But he isn’t a kid again, he’s in a league with players who play for keeps and don’t care about your mental state, Laine wanted to play hockey like he was 16 again, he forgot he was in a league with absolute killers and we see the results. Sad but Laine was never going to be Mario Lemieux with the puck going across the blue line, but it was nice to see the magic and joy for a couple of pre-season games.
