LW Patrik Laine - Tappara, Liiga (2016 Draft) V

[Finnpin]

How does he fit in that Vehicle.

He doesn't have to fit into that anymore. He bought a year old BMW 420 before he had the driving license. Quite nice first car as cars are damn expensive in Finland. Used or new.

Nice. Just give these 3 guys 20min of ice time minimum and they have a chance to win again.

 

[StPatrik]

Hell, YES!!!

Wow a miracle, just play them like Barkov last night and it's good.

I remember seeing comments on Tarasenko and how Hawks D-players can't handle him, think how Laine will be in the playoffs in his prime with that level shot.

I remember seeing comments on Tarasenko and how Hawks D-players can't handle him, think how Laine will be in the playoffs in his prime with that level shot.

I happened to think few days ago that Tarasenko and Laine actually have same kind of release. They both wrist it both legs on ice and the release looks a lot like the same. And they both have hard and accurate shots. So sometimes if you're wondering how Laine's release would look in NHL through Hockey Night in Canada, Tarasenko is a good comparison.

 

[Johno]

1,5hrs till show time again. Would be a good place for Laine to step it up once again. Get up on another gear.

 

[MMANumminen]

Nice to see Laine now with linemates. Järvinen is horrible player

 

[NorwFin]

What a wrister!

 

[44]

A takeaway and a goal

 

[QnebO]

SNIPE+BLAST.

Again. Always! Top corner, of course.

His emotions / face in the celly tells he knows he is elite.

 

[JJTT]

There it is.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Stole the puck in the neutral zone and finishes with an amazing wrister. Classic Laine.

 

[Phosphophyllite]

Wow. Old record for most goals in playoffs for rookie was 7 by Oskar Osala in 2008. Laine has 9.

 

[sooni]

This boy is God.

 

[QnebO]

Super shift from laine again.

First he dekes 4 players and skates around the zone to get a really good chance and close to a goal.

Then he passes Kuusela for a break away.

I hope foreigners watch this... he is a beast. Not overrated at all.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Not sure if this was made, but does anyone feel this draft is Malkin/Ovi all over again?

Laine is going to be a 40 goal NHLer at the very least. That release and shot

 

[44]

Amazing stuff! Shift after shift he continues to impress

 

[AndyA]

What a shift by Laine!

 

[kunekune]

Laine is on fire! That long deking on offensive zone was even nicer than the goal.

 

[psycho_dad*]

Every time he touches the puck they get a scoring chance, this is surreal to watch considering the kid has been 18 for 2 days. Amazing patience and hunger for goals. Goalie made a great toe save on his last shot and after that he gave Kuusela a breakaway.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Looked a bit off in the beginning, but after his goal he took off. Hits, takeaways, good shots and sprung Kuusela on a half-breakaway.
