Player Discussion: Patrik Laine IVever: a new hope? (Laine out of PAP, trade request still stands)

[Marioesque]

What is it with these swede defensemen, they have a chip on their shoulder for Laine for some reason?

 

[Cowumbus]

Laine = Stafford

 

[Jovavic]

We play the Leafs twice more over the next two weeks, this scrub better keep his head up

 

[ViD]

Man, he seriously got a glass body for a 6’5 dude

This is just bad luck. It doesn't take much to break it.

One Swedish idiot (Andersson) gives him concussion, the other Swedish idiot (Lagesson) clavicle fracture.

He needs to add some new regimen for his off season training: how to take hits to the heads and how to fall properly when slew footed. And more vitamin C to his daily diet. I think he has pissed off some gypsies or something and got the evil eye.

Yeah, freaking swedes seem to be out to injure him. Two very dirty plays, two Laine injuries.

 

[Calendal]

Sneaky slewfoot by Lagesson. Laine just can’t catch a break this season

Like seriously, what does that play have to do with hockey? Grrrrr

The guy is made of glass,,not worth the contract,,

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

The guy is made of glass,,not worth the contract,,

Either or both of those things could be true but the evidence you’re using to make that determination is all wrong. Two dirty plays that could have resulted in injuries for anyone.

Also, as it stands there’s not much to be done about it.

 

[cbjthrowaway]

The guy is made of glass,,not worth the contract,,

he's been out of the lineup this year for three different things:
1. absurdly dirty headshot
2. illness
3. borderline slew foot that sent him into the boards at full-speed

#1 and #3 would have caused any other player to miss time.
#2 was an illness that also took elvis and sillinger out of the lineup

it's simply a case of abhorrently bad luck for patty.

Damn, that’s a good one with the current injury… Save it for the Laine haters though next time, eh?!

Marchenko, Chinakhov, Bemstrom, Johnson, Fantilli, Gaudreau…..this team isn’t lacking offensively minded and offensively skilled players/wingers capable of putting up points.

That was a dangerous play but it was not at full speed, just an awkward fall that usually does not result in injury. Most of us have taken worse hits.

That play was dirty as all heck.

They weren't going for the puck at half speed...huh?

Once Laine lost his footing he had no way to slow it down either

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

INJURY UPDATE: #CBJ forward Patrik Laine is expected to be sidelined six weeks with a clavicle fracture suffered in last night's game at Toronto.

Thank god

 

[NotWendell]

One Swedish idiot (Andersson) gives him concussion, the other Swedish idiot (Lagesson) clavicle fracture.

Something seems pretty (Swedish) fishy about this.

 

[BB88]

Again if one tries to find a positive from this.

This gives Laine 6 weeks more weeks to recover from the concussion and give him a perfect reset opportunity.

Everyone knows how bad it was going for Laine and now instead of benching or scratching him he gets a ”free” reset chance

It is very easy to break something. Thanks to a bad footing, I sprained my instep, although I never had and don't have any problems with bones. Although Laine was not at full speed, he did not control his fall and the trajectory of his movement.

Let's just say some of us break much easier than others. Bone density varies widely between people. Nick Foligno isn't getting injured on that play. I've seen him go much harder in to the boards than that.

 

[VT]

Opäť, ak sa na tom niekto pokúsi nájsť niečo pozitívne.

To dáva Lainemu 6 týždňov na zotavenie z otrasu mozgu a dokonalú príležitosť na obnovenie.

Každý vie, aké zlé to pre Laineho dopadlo a teraz namiesto toho, aby ho posadil na lavičku alebo ho poškriabal, dostal „zadarmo“ šancu na reset

Okrem toho, že v posledných dvoch zápasoch vyzeral dobre, najmä v tom poslednom s Torontom. Chémia linky bola vynikajúca.

 

[KCbus]

Whatever.

This season was already floating in the toilet bowl. The Laine injury is just the flush.

It also gives the jackets at a look the lineup without Laine. If they start to string together some wins without him in the lineup I wouldn't be surprised them to check on his value leading up the TDL. Don't think anything happens though with the current cap situation around the league. I wouldn't be surprised over the next two seasons when it rises though.

 

[majormajor]

Whatever.

This season was already floating in the toilet bowl. The Laine injury is just the flush.

It's been in the toilet partly because of how bad he's been playing since the concussion. He wasn't even on the top PP unit anymore. The team has no shortage of forwards who have been playing better and can take advantage of this ice time. And Patty can take advantage of the extra time to recover from the concussion.

You're right, but if I'm not mistaken, Laine didn't have a single fracture. His sprained joint healed quickly, as did the injury to his elbow after a hard hit by Pesce. If he had bad bones, it would take longer.
