"Blue Jackets fire back" Nah, more like this hack Portzline fires back. He is a diehard Blue Jackets fanboy, which i respect, but the way he does things i don't. He will be rambling about Laine for few months now, every game he doesnt get a point he will be all over him.
Those were some stupid comments by Laine, but i already hate how this will go, because i know Portzline will not let this go anytime soon. Maybe understand the fact that in Finland we usually just say things bluntly as they are, without sugarcoating anything.
I don't think Laine meant it as a shot to his former teammates and something was kinda lost in translation. For example in finnish interview Patrik said Gaudreau was easily the best player he has ever played with, i don't think he meant the comments as a shot towards Blue Jackets players.
