Think you're confjusing Laine with Pulju if you think he reminds you of Kovalchuk..

Pulju actually does look like Kovalchuk out there, Laine has a far more cerebral style.

Completely agree. I've been saying this for quite some time now.
Other than they fact that they all have monster shots, there are very little comparables between kovy and laine

I might get flamed for this, but I see a bigger and more physically engaging version of alex semin.
Both are insanely talented, mostly perimeter type players with monster releases/shots.

Laine has very underrated defence and checking, your impression must have become purely from highlight reels. Way he carries puck and forecheck is more closer to Forsberg than Semin IMO.

Laine perimeter player? Not true at all. He is the opposite.
 
He is like Gretzky, Brett Hull, Ovechkin and Lemieux COMBINED. He will be better player than Dustin Rose.
 
Some sweet moves already. Time for him to score on a PP now

I think he hit the post on a one timer. He's playing both PP units now
 
What start from laine.This man is unbelievable.. omfg. Inch awa from calling it already and him going 1st overall.

head and shoulders above the rest so far. Already gave Kuusela a great scoring chance and then hit a post on his own onetimer.

And dangled trough defence before it to get a backhand chance. And another dangle to shot in last shift.. cant wait he hits the uce again this is candy
 
I have the feed for this game, but unfortunately work calls. Darn it. Want to see Laine and his big game ability live. But I will just read accounts here.
 
If Tappara wins the championship playoff MVP is Laine or the goalie Karhunen. I'd say Laine.
 
Damn, I was just setting up my recording program so I could post a GIF ASAP if/when Laine scores, but I was too slow :rant:
 
That was a layup for the fking all-star.

Still I can see every other Tappara player missing that shot
