I don't really have any issue with what laine is saying. He's stating simple facts; He isn't getting the icetime that he likes and that's because MSL has to think of the team and try to win games. But now lining has a chance to play with very good players and with a lot of ice time and so it might help him continue to rehabilitate back to proper form. I am also someone still preaching patience on him, especially because of the preseason injury. He really does put his foot in his mouth but honestly it's easy to ignore. He just phrases things terribly.
He even admits to not having played well, and honestly I would find it really weird if he was feeling really great about playing 12 minutes a night max in the 4th line.
