Which people?Some people seem more concerned about Pare being at risk of being injured than Laine being actually injured.
Weird gatekeeping.

X is a goon. He won’t be running around when Montreal plays Toronto with Reaves on the ice. This is exactly why Toronto went out and got Ryan Reaves, Smart move.
Another year after this one.Is this Laines final year of his deal?
Without Cap Friendly, and sporttrac isn’t loading.
Is the guy supposed to move his leg and let Laine skate right by? His leg was already there and Laine skated right into it. How dare he not move away for the greatest franchise on earth!!
Xhekaj should be suspended.
How can you say that, no one even knows what the injury is at this point? Could very well just be a bruise. Hopefully.He's out for the year. Forget about him until next year.
All the people bringing up the Bertuzzi/Moore incident. Very different contextually.Which people?
NHL looked pretty bad last regular season. Countless boring as well as poorly officiated games. Worst first round of action anyone can remember.Laine had the puck. There are two refs on the ice. How could none of them call a penalty on that?
This is ridiculous.
For those with more medical knowledge then me, how does it look? I've heard from many it looks like a torn ACL which is very bad.
Also, was it a dirty play? If so, does Pare deserve a suspension?
Oh, yeah. You are right. It was completely different.All the people bringing up the Bertuzzi/Moore incident. Very different contextually.
Yeah laine deserves some culpability here. This is the reason why a 2nd was attached to laine in the trade. Just a high probability of it not working out, laine couldn’t even get to the season opener….experiment over habs fans. Draft the 2nd rd pick wellUnfortunate play but at what point does it become the responsibility of the player to protect himself? He’s leaving that leg hanging out there like I did with my laundry this afternoon.
Just trying to slow Laine down, in traffic. You can see from the pic that Pare caught Laine with his upper shin and that Pare's whole knee in white is visible. Looks like Xhekaj will be getting suspended though. Expect 10-20 games.

Zero question he lungesYeah, bleu, blanc et rouge coloured glasses. Though you are right about Xhekaj. Solid guy.
guess it’s hilarious that most of the excuses for Pare is that he’s too shitty of a hockey player to have made a non-douche bag play and that 31 teams would love to have Arber on their teamI think it is hilarious to call someone else a scrub when Xhekaj is an AHLer on most teams.
Yep. Xhekaj was extremely quiet in the regular season against the Sens too. He's always tough in pre-season when he's playing against kids and rookies, but disappears in the regular season when he's playing against men.X is a goon.

The hit did not look like an intentional hit at all. Hopefully Laine is OK, as he is an elite goal scorer when he is playing his game.
I hope Jackeye avoids suspension and we can to see him first game of the season. Suspend him after that game if they wish.Just trying to slow Laine down, in traffic.

Just because something isn't a penalty doesn't mean it's not a chickenshit playIs that why the fight against Cooke in the first period of what turned out to be his final game was the first of his NHL career? You'd think if he was such a dirty player back in 2004, as you claim, someone would have taken offense to it long before the Canucks waited almost a month to fight him in the 2nd game they played against the Avs after his hit on Naslund (which, for the record, was unpenalized, deemed legal upon review by the league, and called clean by Naslund). You'd also think that someone throwing a lot of questionable hits, as you claim, would result in more than 32 PIMs over the 56 games he played prior to the Canucks finally taking him to task.

Even the most aware players on the ice can’t do anything about someone who put the knee out on them. That’s why it’s so dangerousHad he played against TTOE, he likely wouldn’t put himself in the situation in a pre-season game. He's pretty smart, usually has head up, is aware of what’s going on, and isn’t try to prove his worth.
