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

[SteelCityCannon]

Pretty weak to say he did that intentionally. Wreckless maybe, skill issue maybe. He still should have answered the bell though. Even if you aren't interested just wrestle and go down.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Absolutely pathetic, but not surprising. f*** those scumbag f***s.

I'll never forget how they went after Scheifele's family too.

Show us on the doll where they hurt you

I've gone back and forth on whether I think this was dirty or not, and I still haven't really settled on a conclusion. On one hand, Pare isn't moving, but on the other, he clearly changes the angle of his knee/leg just before impact. At the very best, it's a reckless and idiotic play by a guy who is objectively a scrub. Things like this always make me sad, because nobody goes to these games to see a guy like Pare. They go for the skill players like Laine. It's obviously not a perfect comparison, but it sort of reminds me of when Steckel took out Crosby in that sense. I hope Laine makes a quick recovery and is back soon.

It doesn't matter.

It's a pre-season game, Laine's knee is f***ed, Leafs fans don't even know who this Pare guy is.

Try to bend your knee area like what happens to Laine there. You can't, it's not normal.

I really hope somehow he can make a comeback in record time, but it looks bad.

Another angle from the stands…

 

[Leaf Fans]

Isn’t that the same reeves that got benched because he wasn’t doing his role and leaf fans wanted him gone lol

I did not want him gone.

French going after the French. Love to see it. Both surrender before the nights out.

Quebecers aren't French. That's two different nationalities. But I wouldn't expect someone who makes a joke that stupid to know that.

 

[Seras]

"I want fighting taken out of the game!"
"Why didn't he fight?"

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Pare lunges with his knee, anyone can’t see that needs glasses. Xhekaj gives him a chance to do the right thing and when he doesn’t rag dolls him a bit, if he wanted to really hurt him he would dropped the gloves and pummeled him like the scrub deserved

So what do you want? No Leafs fan gives the slightest f*** about Pare, never heard of him.

this X guy, is apparently pronounced Jackeye,

Ban Pare for life? Ok. Or what? how many games should this ECHL player get?

I'm more concerned for Laine.

 

[LOFIN]

Sucks so f***ing bad. Was really excited to see Laine, he seemed to be in such good spirits and fine physically. Ready to score again.

And now he might be out for the season.

Really. Speaking of stupid. Exactly where is the nation of Quebec.

 

[Kennedys]

The only thing good was wifi punching whoever this guy was

 

[catnip]

Such a shame that it was just some no-name scrub. Would've been an entirely different scenario if he was kneed by a future hall-of-famer.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Very unlikely that he intended to injure here in a preseason game, IMO.

However, it was a bad and dumb play on his part, and he should have been penalized.

Let me assist you

The Habs have both Jackeye and WiFi?

I'm jealouse. Lonny Bohonos is too.

 

[Xirik]

It means I don't want pre-season lad

yeah, players going straight to competitive games after getting out of practice during the summer will do wonders for player safety.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Can you tell me why that would be an entirely different scenario?

 

[BlueDream]

These instances always make it obvious who has never played a sport. When you’re defending and the forward is going past you, it’s a natural reaction to try to get a piece of him to prevent that. He obviously didn’t intend to go knee on knee. Not dirty at all but dumb fans are gonna dumb fan.

Someone here is confusing countries and nations...

He's so dumb he probably thinks an english canadian is the same as a Brit

He is making his name famous now. This is why more expensive players shouldn't play this type of exhibition games where beer league players want to get noticed.

Thats true. They are Hillbilly-French.

 

[Qwijibo]

Not sure many people are defending Pare, I think Laine is partially to blame, but think it is more of a hockey play gone wrong.

Borderline NHLer jumping an AHLer also isn't a huge deal, I just think it was the dirtier of the two plays and should likely be a suspension.

Xhekaj is one of the most overrated tough guys...

If you say so. I doubt Xhekaj gets a suspension. You better believe his teamay4s love what he did. All Pare had to do was sack up and face the music for a questionable play. But he had to be a coward and refuse to step up

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

"I want fighting taken out of the game!"
"Why didn't he fight?"

That's the code. You throw a bad hit (intentional or not), you answer the bell for it. Especially on a star player. Especially when you are an AHL scrub.

It's honestly baffling that Pare refused to fight for this play. It honestly shows a huge lack of respect for the game. Look at how Perry handled the Tavares incident a few years ago compared to how Pare handled this.

Frankly he's a disgusting player with no respect for the game. He has no business being anywhere near an NHL game.

 

[Weztex]

Thats true. They are Hillbilly-French.

I see bigots are in full force tonight.
