Why don't teams just cover him?

A bit hard at least today when he scored 2 goals on 2-man advantage.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Patrik Laine already has more Powerplay Goals than anyone on the Blue Jackets.

He's tied for 11th in the league and only 1 behind 3rd in the league, so he would lead most teams in PP goals

Why don't teams just cover him?

Why don’t teams just cover Ovechkin?

 

[Prairie Habs]

It will be nice picking 9th instead of 2nd or 3rd

I'd rather have 9th and a 26 year old 40 goal scorer than 2nd and a 8M guy on LTIR

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

haha, that Hutson bobbing and weaving in close is pretty ridic too

Can we not put the malooch on him with 6 goals? His problem has never been the shot it's been staying on the ice.

Montreal fans have been waiting for someone like him for 20+ years, they’ll take this feeling over a bit better draft position any day

Laine has a bullet of a shot. When healthy he is one the best goal scorers in the Leauge. Nice to see him rolling.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Amazing game. Keep it up!! Montreal and Finland needs a top goal scorer.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

10 game losing streak. This is what they muster against the Habs. They get absolutely throttled.

Laine 3 powerplay goals. Soo great to see him healthy and playing well.

 

[Divine]

Back to back hat tricks against Buffalo. They're turning back the clock on these players.

First Tavares looked like the old Tavares against Buffalo
Now Laine looks like the old Laine against Buffalo

Why don't teams just cover him?

I mean 2 of his goals came on 5 on 3's. Are they supposed to shadow him and make it a 4 on 2? The other was on a PP. Hard to cover him when you're always a man short.

 

[Stringer Bell]

Why don’t teams just cover Ovechkin?

Laine isn't Ovechkin.

 

[The Nightman]

Why don’t teams just cover Ovechkin?

Are other teams stupid?

 

[moropanov]

Laine isn't Ovechkin.

Laine's shot is propably better than Ovechkins in absolute means/quality. Think is Ovechkin gets to shoot 2_3x more..

 

[overlords]

I'd be embarrassed if I was the guy who closed the 50 in 50 thread. Just sayin'

 

[Koivu11]

Laine isn't Ovechkin.

Correct, he’s Patrik Laine.

 

[Voodoo Child]

The Buffalo Sabres, whatever happened there?

 

[Frank Drebin]

It will be nice picking 9th instead of 2nd or 3rd

I guess the only thing worse than drafting 9th would be blowing that pick for 1 season of jacob chychrun

 

[amnesiac]

Why don't teams just cover him?

2 of the goals were 5 on 3

 

[JianYang]

Think all his 5 goals have come from the same spot.

 

[waffledave]

Yep. He scores from far out too like Ovechkin does.

 

[eviohh26]

Happy for him . He's gotten too much unfair hate over the years.

 

[ijuka]

With Winnipeg Jets, on the powerplay, I always felt like both Scheifele and Wheeler intentionally avoided passing to Laine in such spots(btw many others Finnish fans felt the same even though Jets fans thought we were hallucinating) but seems like when you do pass to Laine, it might end well. Who knew?

That's the truth
