Blue Jackets fire back after Laine roasts organization

[Number8]

"Player gives less-than-positive impression about previous franchise, while in town with new franchise. More at 11, with this never-before-seen story."

True. But to be fair, you don't often get such a lousy performance to accompany it all.

Talked shit, literally bounced off a check he tried to throw, then left the game dinged up. Pretty embarrassing but more at 11, with this instant karma bonanza.

He’s probably not wrong. Columbus is one of the worst organizations.

An Oilers fan saying that.

An Oilers fan saying that.

Oilers were one of the worst for a long time but figured it out. Jackets have more or less been garbage their entire existence.

 

[thebestnic]

I wish banter like that was more frequent. NHL badly needs rivalries

 

[WarriorofTime]

Honeymoon phase right now in Montreal. Right now, he's motivated and playing really well. He's a very talented player but he's been plagued by attitude/inconsistent effort issues. It remains to be seen if he's found a more permanent home with the Habs or if in a couple years, he's saying the same things about Montreal he says about Columbus now.

All the trolls here with strong opinions all had the same thing to say anonymously online about Winnipeg and Columbus in multiple threads , I see you

 

[CapSpace]

Coming from Werenski who is part of that garbage culture in Columbus that's rich. Sit the f*** down, clown.

 

[GordonGraham]

Laine is such a loser he said he was tired of losing and just giving up, when he's the onw who quit on his team and went home cause he was depressed

nah,

The Organization is still just a Mr. Magoo who managed to bumble their way to winning the lotto.

Garbage take. Mental health is more important than hockey.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Habs fans will turn on Laine soon as all teams do. Except that habs fans will probably send him death threats

Whatever helps you sleep at night

After playing in 45 (out of 56) and 56 (out of 82 games) he signs an $8.7M x 4year deal, and then proceeds to play in 55 and 18 games after signing it and he has the gall to call out his teammates?

I'm not saying injuries or the issues he face were his fault, but if you aren't in the battle with your teammates, it's bush league to call them out.

"figured it out" by winning a lottery for the best player in the world.

It's low risk for the Habs. He's got 1 year left after this and if things go south, they either trade him at the deadline or just move on.

Way ahead of you fam

The major difference here being those “trolls” typically pay to support the team and players on those rosters, while this player received $32.1M from the team he just openly shit on, earned exclusively by way of those “trolls” paying their money to see the game.

Very odd usage of the word.

 

[Bleedred]

I just think it’s kind of weird that he admits he mailed it in because of all the losing, only to now be in a place where they also do plenty of losing lol.

They'll feed him PP time and then extend him don't worry

 

[Siludin]

Awful idea to bash your old team right before playing them, they roughed him up and now he is injured again.

Strategy to play more Fortnite

Coming from Werenski who is part of that garbage culture in Columbus that's rich. Sit the f*** down, clown.

In Werenski's first four (healthy) seasons, Columbus was a playoff team. Cool take though big guy!

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.

People can be as much of an asshole as they want as long as they can back it up. Life would be boring without them

Do we expect many playoff bound teams pay to take on Laine atleast without some heavy retention?

 

[TS Quint]

Maybe if he didn't quit by December every year the BJs would have been better.

This is just Laine being Laine. In Winnipeg it was hissy fits because he wasn't on the 1st line over Wheeler who scored 90 points. Then he goes to the BJs where he's the man but it's hissy fits because the rest of the team isn't good enough for him.

The Habs need to sew his mouth shut if they want to shine this turd up to being worth anything next TDL. He's just a dick. He doesn't lead, follow or get out of the way.

Montreal comes out of the holiday break with Florida/Tampa/Vegas/Chicago/Colorado on the road before coming home to play Vancouver, then right back out to play Washington and then Dallas.

They will likely be underdogs in all 8. Let's see what Laine thinks about the culture in Montreal at that point.
