Player Discussion Patrik Laine: Part 2 - Healthy Living Edition

His puck handling is a thing of beauty. Defenders clearly respect him and don't overcommit knowing they could be embarrassed. He's slowly starting to get up to speed.

In any case, what a steal that trade was. Complete robbery.

Honestly it’s a fair trade. Columbus is doing well without him. They got out of an 8m contract for a guy that asked to leave. They had to move him

Yes but not much after that. Easy to see how long injuries impact even the most talented.

One game does not tell the whole story

I know you're not completely down on them I just don't know why so many here has so many questions like what do people expect 100 point guy

Montreal hasn't had any stars for the last how many years up front
 
LAINE HAS THE BEST ANSWER TO RESPOND! AGAINST PARE! BY A GOAL! NO REVENGE... JUST SCORING!

Laine is improving, also in his skating, he just doesn't have that confidence with the stick yet and lacks acceleration.

Yeah his skating is nowhere near as good as it once was. Like Dach it will take a while even if he didn't end up having surgery.

I'll summarize. He didn't play the last 12 games of the 2022/23 season (27 total), he only played 18 games in the 2023/24 season broken by concussion and 17 this season broken by flu. This has to be reflected not only in skating. You need patience like with Dach.

Yes and i'd assume it's easier to be patient with him when he's scoring PP goals at this rate.

Must say great teamwork by Laine and Matthews last night. Matthews taking a penalty so Laine could score on the powerplay and Laine fumbling the puck later on on the powerplay so that Matthews could score his first career shorthanded goal and avoiding the fate of Jean Beliveau.

Laine and Matthews has now combined for 601 goals in the NHL. With the 3rd pick Dubois also scoring another 153 goals their totals right now sit at 754 goals. The 2016 top 3 draft picks could go down as the highest goal scoring top 3 picks of all time, as they have a legit shot at 1500+ combined goals. And that's despite all the injuries, mental health setbacks, narcissism, greed, addiction, trouble with getting along with other team mates, soft play overalll and especially come playoff time and just lazy floating in general. Imagine if these 3 had their shit together and played hockey the right way. Now that would be scary...

I get a good chuckle out of these posts, never change :dunce:
Sometimes the stuff you read on these boards makes me think of Colin in What we do in the Shadows, who is an energy vampire :laugh: (great show BTW)

Indeed His line is contributing so it isn't anything like what Dach went through early on when he was just railroaded with nothing positive happening on his side of the ledger.

He's gotta stop trying to dangle 3 guys going 2mph, a lot of times last night he had a pass option to gain the zone and get appropriate numbers on attack and just turned it over easily

That's a Laine classic. I'm not sure he'll ever stop doing it because the 1 out of 100 times that it works, makes him go viral.

And Marty can't tell him anything or else he'll lock himself up in his basement to play vidiya games.

You would think he could afford dental and hair treatment at this point

I heard that he is actually doing the more rare method for a hair transplant, which is to transfer the replacement hairs from his taint to his head. The taint area is limited in size, hence they have to harvest once a month for new ones, but its taking longer than they expected.

And for his teeth.. well, he still has his milk teeth, and is expecting for the permanent ones to break out any day now. They say he has been teething the last 8 years, and having a hard time sleeping due to it.

Look, its a lot of physical pain with the teething and the taint hair ripping (he wants to do it organically, i.e. no pain relief and/or anesthesia), so give him some time with his game. He said in one interview that the teething stops in around March, and that the approbriate amount of taint hair are ready to get planted in his head around the same time.

Patty will rock the stands after that. With his curly hair (they can plant taint hairs as fully grown), and his shiny (albeit bloody) gums.

yep fair trade. 40 goal scorer and a 2nd for Jordan Harris.

Some times i think we try too hard to be impartial.

Laine asked for a trade. If your gonna ignore the context, im sure it looks better than a fair trade.

Some times I think we try too hard to force our viewpoints into reality
