An assist, 4-5 hits and a turnover that resulted a 3-3 goal for Lukko. Got benched after that. +-0 game.

He played a shift in the OT. Got benched for the last shift of his line after the giveaway. The bad giveaway was about to happen sometime soon, may this be a good learning curve for him to just shoot the puck deep if you are at the blue line against more enemies than teammates.


Yeah, not the best game for Laine. The ice was crappier than usual in Hakametsä as the puck bounced wierdly time to time from players and therefore couple easy looking mishandles of the puck from Laine also. He had couple of strong checks which gave the puck for his teammates. Other than that even though Laine had an assist for Tappara's 3rd goal, I'd say he played better overall in the first two games. Maybe he was a bit tired from yesterday as they had back to back games and apparently they were in Tampere 2am and the game happened 14 hours later.

EDIT: The assist
 


another game for ya
earned 17:24 ice time
expected to be a challenging game for a young guy with back to back game
so a little sluggish game was expected for me
pretty meh game imo with a good shift here and there
some key points to the game
used his body (to my surprise) made several good finishing checks in 1st and 2nd but mostly was fairly quiet
had some 3-4 good moments mostly during 3rd period
had a couple of turn overs which one of them ended up tying goal which led to their loss in OT

some notable moments

2:18 some PP shift
3:25 not sure if that was him making a hit
4:42 makes a good check
5:12 another good check
7:05 solid check
8:30 nice little rush
11:11 quick shot off after draw (a shift to watch!)
11:38 same shift a nice scoring chance at front
14:48 the assist
15:12 turnover
15:20 good shift here but till the end at 15:40

ps im gonna need a new simple video capture that would record streams on time
the one im using, the feed and the sound seems to be parting ways....
PPS ...the vid is still processing.....

Nice to see someone putting the effort for these shift by shift vids. :handclap:

I'd personally recommend using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) which is known for streaming mainly but you can easily record videos also with it. And it's free, really simple to put up (if you are new to it, just google/youtube stuff like how to screen capture with obs) and the videos come as .MP4 which means they are also very lightweight.

Got benched for the best faceoff guy Lajunen for the def.zone faceoff at critical moment near of the end. They did same thing at the Ilves game, it's kind of a normal procedure on those situations.

1 assist
2 scoring chances
1 created chance
1 screen
3 hits

Makes things to happen, when not shooting. KalPa game was 11 scoring chances, and nothing else.

Today he really had those weak shots thrown the puck on the net, at least 4, just to get offensive zone faceoff.

7 total shots was quite fake statistics. Only 2 real scoring chances. An assist with shooting, like his destiny will be. :)

Thanks a ton!
 
Ok all this overhyping can stop now... EA has spoken:

NHL 16 has Patrik Laine as a two-way forward with AHL top 6 potential :laugh:. We can all go home now

Laine just scored his first career goal in Liiga against Blues with beautiful wrister. Has had lots of scoring changes in the first 3 games, surprised it took him this long to score his first.

Still haven't seen where did the puck go. In goal yeah, but from what hole? It was so sick hard wrister.

My friend guessed it was probably blocker/short side top corner, but he didn't see that either.

If I didn't see wrong it was blocker side top corner. Had a stright view from were I'm sitting.
 
second period was fairly quiet though Tappara had better scoring chances
now 3rd period was a super sneezing fest..Laine lost prob 3-4 shifts due to penalty troubles and one from incomplete line change
 
It's amazing how you can have better wrist shot at that age than most of the people in NHL will ever have. And it's so precise. :naughty:
 
By far season-worst game for Tappara as a team, but still, when team is at their worst and Laine doesn't have a good game (despite scoring a goal), he still had team-most scoring attempts (3). 4 shots, one was weak so I didn't count it.

Imo, very good sign for a prospect.
 
Laine leads the league in shots on goal (not counting wide or blocked shots) with 21 in four games. Five SOG per game is pretty much a Ovechkin-range number.
 
Great wrister on that goal!

They ran a small profile on him on the sports news (really, it could have been a lot better, not much content to it) but he was asked about the middle finger/death threath incident and his answer was that he was younger then, he doesn't recognize that person anymore...

it was a year ago :laugh:

Good for him for maturing, though.

Good reply. And he surely means it. Wouldn't be surprised though if he's been adviced to give that spesific answer to that spesific queation, as well.

E: Only now watched the goal. :O A friggin LASER!!!
