Patrick Laine injured in pre-season game after knee on knee

[PaulD]

What makes the team stupid? He’s a scrub who won’t make the team but fills out a roster spot for pre-season. Yeah if it was intentional it’s obviously bad. But nothing to do with the team itself

obviously team mates feel that same way you do.....as nobody came near when WiFi was filling the turtle leaf in.

cheap shot by loser Leaf...they are all losers.

Lol okay

And Xhekaj is a loser for punching a guy repeatedly in the back of the head as a tough guy response. An incredibly dangerous thing to do.

Yeah my heart breaks for that piece of shit

 

[Orfieus]

Really, really tough here for Laine. Everyone was excited for him to play for the Habs.

Awful hit btw by a no name scrub

The guy wasn't even moving Laine skated right into him

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I don't think it was intentional but obviously should have been a penalty. Sucks for Laine regardless though. Pare was not moving at all.

 

[Matt24]

if the loser had balls he would have engaged but Leaf creed is to cheap shot and duck.

Well of course he shouldn’t have turtled. Not sure that justifies wailing on a guy to the back of the head.

Should come back out and do it again. Imagine not having the balls to even defend your intent to injure. POS

You want some 175 pound guy to fight one of the leagues best enforcers? I hate the hit and think there is no way he takes that. Send someone his size to do it

 

[MoreMogilny]

Nothing does. But that won’t be the focus. Rabbit punches are far more dangerous than a knee on knee

 

[Leaf Fans]

Turtle boy didn't even get a penalty.

No, there is no penalty for turtles. Claude Lemieux made his early carear out of that. Still, Pare is a wimp and should have faced the music.

#notapenalty

Also. Pare was shoved a few times before Xhekaj went nuts. He could have engaged. Chose to turtle.

 

[SI90]

Looked really really bad. His whole leg snapped back

Poor Pat just cannot catch a break. Awful hit and doubly awful to see a player get hurt in a preseason scrimmage.

Xhekaj beat the stuffing out of him

This is a case where I 100% agree with just jumping that guy.

If you throw dirty knees at the stars of other teammates, you deserve to get your face caved in.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It wasn't nearly enough. Should have driven Pare's face into the ice with all of his weight after he turtled.

I get that this is high emotions and everything....but like this is a bit much lol

gimme a break, an AHL/ECHL tweener just took out a star, I wouldn't be surprised if a few Leaf players tried to get in a cpl shots

f***ing A Arber!

Gonna watch this a million times.

 

[Zalos]

Well, I guess we can just rewind back to before the Laine trade and keep our expectations low. We'll benefit from some more high draft picks.

Sorry for Laine who seems to be extremely unlucky.

ITT: People upset about a dangerous play, that are happy to see an even more dangerous play in response.

 

[SwollenGoat]

Pare didn’t even move, Laine ran into him, bad luck but not a penalty or intentional

 

[Rob Sense]

Berube is and has always been a brainless goon.

Not at all. An AHL bum took out a top 6 player with a dirty knee on knee, and the only price he has payed so far is 2 or 3 shots in the back of the helmet while turtling.

You are essentially calling for him to be Bertuzzi'd. If you really want to see that happen, that is on you lol

what about Tavares?

I can't see the Leafs players overly motivated to stand up for him after that hit

 

[Dave92]

THe AHL guy doesn't move his feet at all. Laine is the one who tries to avoid the hit without moving his feet.
