I swear yesterday we just lay down and die when Detroit ties it 3-3 without him. Lol the dude is automatic. Imagine we had this guy last year in all those stupid 1 goal games. Definitely in the mix every night with a player like this
I'm re-signing this guy as long as he stays healthy. No brainer
How to get the best PP 101. 1- Just get someone at the whistle wheel Laine out in a dolly to the left circle. 2- Profit.
I'm obviously not against progress but man tired of this team yo-yo-ing us around. We in da mix for Ploffs or da tank which one is it??
Lol.. i was confused when you said hes a Gamer and prefers indoors.. im like yah, im game for anything, and i "suppose" to play hockey you gotta be indoors!
No disrespect to Caulfield, but it feels like we haven't had that kind of guy since Cammalleri.
This is true but you also don't get demidov slaf Reinbacher if you don't tank I mean its all nice when we win but getting a piece like Demidov was really important and you just can't do that without tanking. When you have young guys carrying the load in wins like we have right now you can't be mad though
Exactly it's all out of our control, those 2 players came to us organically, because of the moves made by our GM to weaken us and improve drafting position. But the coach and players are always trying to win. I'm happy when then win or lose, winning is fun, and losing for higher draft picks is fun too.
Big time. And that’s okay. He’s healing from his leg injury and still contributing. I was worried about his shoulder but there’s clearly nothing wrong there.
I'd be happy if Patrik would let himself little more recovery time, and just be that 'One trick ponyist PP-specialist sniper' that was once used as derogatory term against his most obvious strength. That he wouldn't force the issue with his still lacking 5v5 performance and production. It will simply take some time after such long time out of game and practice.Big time. And that’s okay.

I think you’re giving Newhook to much credit here. He’s never been very good and left most disappointed and wanting more up to this point in his career outside of maybe a few stretches. Pre injury Dach definitely would’ve been able to mesh with Laine tho.
Laine has always been a deceptively good passer. He has the vision to be a playmaker as well but it's the one-one-ones and playing under pressure in tight spaces with that long stick that leads to errors.
Yeah. I meant he should take easy with more physical aspects of his game. Big boy with rusty bones and relatively untrained limbs with his injury record from the past isn't best for trying to push his limits beyond their yet achieved conditioning.
He put his house up for sale. Officially, I think, his agent asked for a trade after he exited the program but at the very least the writing was on the wall and most likely CBJ knew. In any case he was not going to stay unless forced to. I think it was something that was suggested to him during the therapy but most likely we will never know.
