Player Discussion Patrik Laine: ruining the tank

[Habs]

Well I guess we will never know what we missed, because Laine has never played a regular season game for the CH here anyways. Sucks

 

[Ozmodiar]

Well as a physician and being able to guess injuries based on mechanism, I can tell you this is ACL +/- MCL until proven otherwise, but we have to wait for MRI to know the grade. I don’t think he comes back this season based on the images we saw but I’d be very happy to be wrong

Yeah … and I’m sure they know by now if it’s ACL. Those tests are accurate.

 

[KFlint]

The frustration he felt was so similar to the second knee injury Markov had, throwing his gloves on the ice… sad to see, he missed nearly two full season. Hoping Laine will be able to play several healthy seasons after that, still young.

 

[Gustave]

Did you see the knee flailing side to side? Knees don’t bend like that, GTFO with Dr Captain Saying Nothing and it might be a bone bruise or all other possibilities…

That thing is toast, let’s not even try to say maybe it’s not that bad.

Most likely ligament tear, minimum of 6 months.

There might be too much swelling this early to know through the physical mobility tests but the MRI for sure will tell.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

For some insignificant ECHL lifer jabroni to derail such a potential great story like that...The hockey gods can sure be cruel.

I’m pissed and powerless to this. Dude was static like a midget player on the blueline. Bad players make dangerous plays just by being very unusual out there, they just don’t belong there, like a car doing 100 on the left lane of the autobahn.

I meant right away, but yeah, MRI will tell the story.

Like an overweight beer leaguer who stands at the blue line and whacks players with their stick.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Hard to give a f*** about this season now when it's basically the exact same team + Hutson.

Hopefully it's nothing major but it doesn't look good.

 

[rahad]

It was good while it lasted, see you next year big dog.

What the hell did we do the hockey god lol.... We can't escape injury for x reason. Last year injury on Dach killed the whole season. Is highly possible ,we lost Laine for the whole season....Add Reinbacher injury...

I mean, Dach's back, Hutson, potentially Mailloux, Kovacevik is gone...

There'll be interesting stuff, and we were never goinf to have a great season. But for sure losing Laine sucks

That looked like a Cam Neely knee injury right there tonight.

- Monahan.

We probably won't finish bottom 5. If Laine is out for the rest of the season, we draft around 7-10.

 

[Hacketts]

Watch Laine's injury be week to week, and Reinbacher's gone for the year.

Well…Laine try to go where there were no Space to go

Some player just put themselves in vulnerable position

 

[FLHabs]

I'm just gonna say it, I know lot of fans of some other Atlantic fanbases are, deep down, very happy Laine will miss most if not all of this season

 

[rahad]

I'm starting to get scare of Demidov.... with the way he skate in the ice.

 

[Habby4Life]

- Monahan.

Nope, it will be 3 to 5.

 

[rahad]

Reinbacher gone for the year?

 

[Hacketts]

Reinbacher gone for the year?

I hope not.

I was just saying that because his injury looked quite harmless, while Laine's.... doesn't.

 

[rahad]

Nope, it will be 3 to 5.

Slaf would take a huge step this season. Also if Dach, Newhook and Hutson can stay healthy. I will say around 5-10.

Monahan was so underrated here. He was bringing secondary offense all by himself. He could have been flirting with PPG if he was playing with a decent player.

Just replacing him will be hard enough. Dach got some tough shoes to fill.

Right now minus Laine we look like a worst team.

Don’t see it.

Newhook ain't showing shit. As far as I'm concerned he's barely more useful that Dvorak since his arrival.

Slaf might get better, might not. Still very young. He hasn't shown much this preseason so far.
