The sad reality is we just haven't seen many talented forwards play here , guys who are visibly incredibly skilled , who can get a free zone entry and control the puck

We saw it with Kovalev , a bit with Koivu , we see it with Nick and a somewhat with Cole , even an older Radulov. Its a small list and Laine is so talented he's already right up there with those guys lol

Kovulchuk was fun for a bit as well. Radulov was really really solid when he was on. I miss 07/08 Kovalev the most though

That sounds so much like bipolar disorder. The highs are too high, making the lows even lower. He had something to latch unto, the cup run, which kept him focused, but once it was done, it left an emptiness. This is the hallmark or BPD. Same with that actor who was on Radio City, can't remember his name. He ended-up killing himself. He was bipolar and I remember reading an interview where he spoke of his disorder, and said that the end of shooting was when he felt most depressed. Bipolars can run on a high when they have focus for something they are passionate about, but once they can't put that focus to use, it leaves them empty.

As a person suffering from bipolar syndrome type 2 I just have to tell you that you are very off with your assessments and although I don't believe that what you wrote was in will, you are completely off by mistake. Please do not throw medical terms around lightly. None of us have any idea of Laine's diagnosis. What you just wrote though was extremely hurtful and accidentally dumb against people diagnosed with bipolar syndrome of all kinds.

1- I was talking about Richer, not Laine

2- I've personally known people who have BPD and the extreme cases are indeed like that.

3- what I wrote wasn't hurtful at all, but objective without judgement.

4- seeing how you made two incredibly bad readings, maybe you should re-read before responding. It was about Richer and there was absolutely no judgement.

I'm not getting into an argument, but your post was barraged with assumptions and generalized statements of a complex issue, of a person we know nothing about,. I belive that there was no ill will, but i I do react to people throwing out the term bipolar as it is so often misunderstood. Peace.

Heard rumors that he's going to be left out from the 4-nations. Kind of wanted to see Laine in Finnish jersey...

His shot arsenal has always been dynamite. But he has shown glimpses of very good play control. Just hasn't been consistent. Injuries do play part in that. Laine also always seemed to me like a player who needs his confidence a lot. When he's on he seems almost unstoppable scoring machine and when he's not he seems like a liability.

Good to see him scoring one.

He said his problem, illness himself:

Patrik Laine syöksyi pimeyteen isänsä kuoltua â nyt hän haluaa puhua elämänsä parhaasta päätöksestä

Patrik Laine sanoo, ettei tiedä, olisiko päässyt asiasta koskaan yli, jos tuorein vamma olisi sattunut puolitoista vuotta sitten.

The hallmark of BPD are manic or hypomanic episodes which aren't related to being focused or passionate about something, rather its a symptom. The depressions aren't related to what they can't put focus on either.
