Any ETA for his return? What does a few weeks mean? 2-3 weeks? 4-5 weeks? Please update the thread when it's official how long he's going to be out.

With shoulder injuries you never know. What's a bit alarming is that they first said it's nothing just some bruising. Now it's couple of weeks. So i think File had a point.

Yep, the shoulder is right up there with the most complex structures of the human body. "Some bruising" can refer to such a variety of tissue damage types by itself. A bruised muscle usually heals up very quickly, so that's probably not the only thing. If it's bursitis or a bruised ligament then the time-frame could hold if it's a very light injury. Tendinitis? Who knows. Another key point is whether or not there's tearing in the rotator cuff. I checked over the video and can honestly say that it doesn't reveal a single thing. If anyone sees anything from that it's pure guesswork.

Only doctors know when Laine is back.
We ( HFboard writers) don't know does, Laine has bruising's or fractures in his shoulder because we aren't seen x-rays and MRI scans.

Of course we all hope, that Laine returns so soon as possible.

Anyway, I still consider you one of the most authoritative and credible posters down here. But this brain fart was something very "un-File esque". - Been drinking the whole night through?

Hey, I've listened enough hockey lingo to know that "a few weeks" can mean anything from two weeks to three months. Especially when it involves the critical parts of our limbs, like shoulder, hip or knee.

Before we have a more accurate estimate on his return, him missing the WJC is not out of the question. But not something I consider a more likely possibility than the opposite, either.
 
What did I say, kiddos. File, you got carried away in this one. But it happens even to the best ones sometimes. Q.E.D.

Next time breath before the panic. ;)

Stating the possibility is "panicking" these days?

Unlike the folks who try to make possibly career-reaching conclusions of each injury, I was in no way trying milk it, dear bonehead.

Dear File, no offence, as I said. :D But you cannot deny you jumped the gun.;)

When I said that Laine would be missing a few weeks, the official word, as in coming from Tappara, was that he would be missing a few weeks. So I didn't pull that out of my backside.

And if the additional comment of hoping it's not so long a break it puts his WJC in jeopardy was "jumping the gun", then I guess it was so by a broad definition.


Very broad.

Patrik Laine is commented first time his,death threat for Mika Marttila, in Ivan Hlinka memorial tournament last august (2014)
Laine said his interview in urheilusanomat he didn't threatened to kill, Finland's former U18 national team head coach Mika Marttila.

Here's Laine's comments for that death threat episode.
- I do not, however threatened to kill anybody.
There in line i purine my anger and I said out loud something, the style that i could punch that head-coach.

- I was disappointed to my ice-time, together with my inefficiency.
In the moment middle-finger felt like a good idea, but of-course it would be remain without.
Afterwards I'm regretted what i did.

Another article about Laine in Finnish.

Few points to notice:

- When Gretzky was asked what would be the nicest way to score goal in Stanley Cup finals, he said "with a shot deflected from Esa Tikkanen's butt". Laine was asked the same and he answered "with a wrister to the top shelf in SC finals in game seven"

- Of course the writer praised Laine's shot and said although its unfair to compare anyone to Stamkos, there's a lot similarities in their shooting reportory. They can shoot it hard from any kind of situtation possible. Writer feels like Laine's shot is NHL ready already

- It was mentioned that usually young players lack in physics and it's the biggest area they need to improve to be able to play in NHL. Last summer Laine was able to train with Hannu Rautala that's known to train many Finnish NHLers in summertime. It was said Laine made a big leap in physics in the summer. He has also had some additional training with assistant coach Marko Ojanen for a year now.

- Laine's percent of fat is already under 10%. It was also mentioned Laine was able to beat Lauri Korpikoski in "1 minute training sessions". I'm not quite sure what the writer was meaning excactly with his phrasing

- Laine can bench press 110 kilos / 242.5 pounds twice which is not bad for a guy with long arms. Writer reminded that although Laine has good physics for 17 years old, he also needs to be able transfer that into the ice

- Laine has said he wants to be the #1 overall in the draft and the writer feels like it's only a good thing for a young guy to have the passion to drive for that kind of thing. You don't usually see that kind of confidence from a Finnish prospect

Oh god are we still bringing this up.....................................

I said and did so much immature bs when I was 16, I'm 5 years older now and none of that defines my personality today.

Just be happy he shows signs of being a passionate player, that's why he's a top 5 because he puts most of his priority into hockey and not being a people-pleaser like so many others
