Blue Jackets fire back after Laine roasts organization

[Reality Czech]

It's a fact that Columbus is a losing organization. They end up being the last in the division every single season.

"Star" players like Laine were a big reason why

 

[Joe Hallenback]

He has found his home with the Montreal Minuses and now he can score all the PP goals he wants get smoked 5v5 and never make the playoffs until he gets run out of town

C'EST LA VIE

I like Laine a lot but guy doesn’t break a sweat at ES most shifts. I wouldn’t be saying shit like that if I was him.

I will always recall Byfuglien screaming "move your feet".

I wasn't shocked, but holy God were they hemmed in when Laine was on the ice last night. Then he runs away and Montreal wakes up lol. That's a theme for him.

Ultimate FAFO

Trash talk
Play 6 minutes,
No shot on goal
No points
Got body check every shift
Leave injuried

Laine made similar comments shitting on Winnipeg after he left. These ones are especially gross because of how supportive Columbus was for him with his injuries and mental health issues.

Dude just seems like a selfish narcissist. Not a teammate most teams probably want to have in their locker room.

I’ve found that when people claim they’re unfiltered, or they claim they just say what’s on their mind, they’re just assholes that use those excuses to say stupid things.

Being unfiltered usually means a general lack of emotional intelligence.

 

[Muffin]

This guy knows he plays for Montreal right? Why was he talking **** about Columbus losing?

 

[dukeofjive]

Dude reminds me of my older brother on the spectrum, can seem like a genuine normal person then opens up is mouth and your like really that’s what your going to go with.

Also I don’t think that giving him a bigger platform to share is going to help is situation at all.

Feel bad for Columbus fans , oh well wish you all happy holidays.

Mental illness doesn't always strike nice people.

Sometimes people who have genuine mental health issues are also assholes.

How long have you been watching hockey?

And while he was in Columbus, Montreal had a worse record than Columbus, yet he chose them and nixed a trade to Minnesota. It wasn't about going to winning organization, it was going to a team that would put him in the spotlight.

Exactly. Instead of stepping up and being THE guy like he wants, he backed down and asked to be traded. He can talk all the shit he wants, but when you barely play half of your contracted games it doesn't give you much room to do so.

Also surprised this wasn't posted yet.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

When I heard about the Fortnite or making team staff buy an entirely new tv for him in every road game I had to wonder about who he is a person. This kinda solidifies that he’s not all there

I really want to like Laine but he makes it hard to sometimes. It's easy to support Columbus, however. I looked it up out of curiosity and found out Montreal has 8 more losses over the last 5 years than Columbus lol

Guy needs a trade to Toronto where his values of personal entitlement and lack of accountability towards results would make him just another well-paid actor in a performance of perpetual mediocrity.

not surprised your still thinking of Toronto even in a thread that has nothing to do with us. basically telling us your obsessed with the Leafs without having to say it

Sacrebleu!!

One would assume his new team was actually doing better when he made those comments though. Apparently Laine hasn't checked the standings lately.

This is the kind of attention he shouldn't be bringing into himself but he doesn't seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Werenski‘s post game interview sounded like a back in the day top 10 clips

I've read them over and over. Werenski has a new fan in me.

God I wish Z didn't stop himself there. He didn't even finish the game, took a couple of hits and.....

(Probably want to say he wimped out...again)

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Says the guy who took a leave to probably play video games.

 

[fansse]

Ironically, he's in Montreal, a team that had space for a bad contract like he has and a team currently tanking LOL

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Don’t worry, the honeymoon period with MTL isn’t going to last forever and he’s eventually going to have these same issues with their locker room.

 

[stevo61]

It's also fun he claims he wants to win but also allegedly blocked a trade to Minnesota, a team significantly better than Columbus or Montreal currently
