Player Discussion Patrik Laine: Part 2 - Healthy Living Edition

[Marioesque]

If you want all Laine's interview from that Finnish site in English, here is it:

Great interview, so happy to see he has grown up as a person and can handle things not going his way. Smart kid, that was always apparent

PP has stalled because teams are overplaying Laine - Habs haven’t found an alternate solution yet

Yeah when I saw how Minnesota covered him I laughed. One guy standing next to Laine and a 4 on 3 PP elsewhere. But they couldn't convert on the chances.

Teams will do this if the 4 on 3 doesn't produce as much as Laine does. They are picking the lesser poison

If anyone still wonders who has the best shot, you can show that PP coverage and end any conversation on it. Teams do not do that against anyone else. They know.

In Slovakia we say: "Reči sa hovoria, chlieb sa je (Speeches are spoken, bread is eaten)". We shall see what the future will show us.

He f***ing sucks lol. It's hard to watch. And I know it's not his fault, he was recently injured and it affects his mobility. But yeah. He turns like a transatantic liner.
