Player Discussion Patrik Laine: Part 2 - Healthy Living Edition

[Dutronc]

The lazy flu faking bum with another 2 point night tonight. Imagine if he tried and wasn’t a bag of shit like he’s portrayed on these boards. Giving any credence to the idea that maybe he didn’t have the flu is on you, not Laine. Leave the guy alone for f***sakes.

Amen

1+1 rewarded with 3 minutes of icetime for the later half of the game.

I'm hoping it's because he was gassed from the flu. Because otherwise it's just a clear sign they have zero faith in him.

You have to throw the guy a bone when he's actually contributing.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He’s cheat code in the PP. He’s improving at 5 on 5 as well. Slowly but surely he’s coming along.

Nah, that's how it's been going for a good while. Good way to break a players mental, I guess.

Wrong thread

So much skill and talent but bloody slow.Looks alright with Newhook that is playing well. Add another somewhat quick and talented winger and see what happens.

Did they play more one timer chances to him after the PP-goal? I just saw the highlights and that was the most free space Laine was given on PP since December. I hope Habs utilized it fully.

And the opponent climbed back in and won the game while he sat there waiting to play

Yeah if they are trying to deflate his confidence and nerf his ability to win games for the team, giving him 10 minutes of ice time should do it just fine

On the second PP they had a guy on Laine, so they learned from first
