Laine blows a goal THROUGH Seider's stick

[thebus88]

Didn't you throw a mini tantrum after his last game about how much you didn't care about anything Laine does in MTL?

But now you want to chime in and poke fun at him getting injured.

You understand the team that he just played against, correct??

And the comments he made about said team/organization before the game??

That 1st period was the most fun I’ve ever had watching Laine play at Nationwide arena. The compilation video of him getting bullied and doing nothing positive on the ice all period would be awesome. Vintage Laine.

Honestly, if you look on our boards, most people are saying there may have been bits of truth in there. The issue is, in typical Laine fashion, he conveniently left himself out of the problem category. If I had to pick out one player last year who didn't seem to give a shit at times, it's easily Patrik Laine. He's a walking victim complex.

Greatest shot in the league but he really isn't buying himself a lot of goodwill with the 'It's everybody's fault but mine' attitude.
Ok , things weren't working in Columbus for him and hope he does well in the future but maybe show some accountability going forward.

Buy a clue you idiot. Classless floater with arguably the best shot in hockey...what a shame it didn't go to someone worth celebrating.

Does he even remember what that team has gone through...disgusting

Big contract year coming and then the worst contract in hockey is my prediction

It’s a really dumb move. Things were going really well and he needlessly created controversy.

So you don’t want to have a conversation. Got it.

"Mirror, mirror..."

That back and forth wasn't a conversation ?

I mean, I ask questions, you don’t answer them… so no.

So what is it about a 14.6% change in percentage equates to “easily?” Specifically, if you please.

If you were to apply that percentage change in goals scored to a 50-goal scorer, you’re looking at ~57 goals scored to 50 goals scored. Would that make one player “easily” a better goal scorer, or simply “better?”

And the idea that you choose percentage change over percentage points difference is disingenuous, at best. Two players—one scores 50 goals, one scores 55 goals. Would you present a difference in 10% instead of 5 goals?

That is not what he has ever said. Have you not seen Laine blaming himself and being hard on himself? Because people who have watched his career, and apparently his therapist, understand that's his biggest enemy.

It's absolutely fair to call him out for stupid media literacy, giving this fodder to his haters. What he said was exactly what CBJ GM said about the same situation and everyone agreed with it then, so Laine isn't wrong in saying that. He just should not have said it.

He was just the wrong person to say that, because from the GM the exact same message was actually celebrated.

I just don't accept this "blaming everyone but himself" narrative that's attempted here. We're talking about one of the most famously harsh on themselves personalities who have actually sought help for that problem. It's not what happened here, so why are people now pretending this guy always blames everyone else? History says otherwise so, why?

The way he was looking at his glove you would thing it went through his glove.

Luckily for him, majority of people don't follow unnecessary click bait hockey drama, at least to the extent than us HFboards users.

"Frustrating when you are trying to win and some people, you know, are not like that."

From the guy paid by the team to take a fortnite break. Possibly one of the most tone deaf idiots to play in the NHL. I need to stop there.. I would be wanting to fight him every time we played.

This from one of the softest, laziest players the NHL knows. I would not want to be the team that signs this man child long term.

All it took for CBJ and Werenski to get motivated again was Laine calling them out. They should be thanking him.

Are you not the one who's disingenuous - or trying to throw powder or sand in the eyes of the reader - by concentrating on 1.9 rather than 14,6 ?
