Player Discussion Patrik Laine: ruining the tank

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Demidov is not a center. You would think we’d learn from past experiences. I hope to god this isn’t what management is hoping for.

Yeah pretty much what @Jurivan Demidovsky said.

If they want to try him at C they can do it and I can all but guarantee it won’t derail him.

He’s pretty much a plug and play superstar. He’s not Drouin. They can put him in net for half a season and his first game back as a forward I’d doubt he’d miss a beat

Ruining the tank is a funny thread title for Laine when the entire point of tanking is to hopefully get a talent of this calibre.

What a bunch of quotes by laine wow.

I was tired of losing and just giving up when it’s December to start focusing on next year. I’m not going to do that. That’s frustrating as a player when you’re trying to win and some people are, you know, not like that.

“They’re a little too satisfied and too comfortable where they’re at. It wasn’t really a fit for me anymore. But here (in Montreal), it doesn’t matter if we’re winning or losing, we’re always trying our best“

“I’ll leave that for everybody’s imagination,” Laine said. “But there were certainly, certainly people like that who were a little too comfortable and fine with losing and just doing the same thing year after year”

“If we win, we’re going to jump them,” Laine said. “That’d be awesome to leave them behind.”

This is why a winning attitude is so important. Winning is important. The rebuild is nearing its end.

As much as I appreciate his unfiltered comments, he needs to tone it down if he wants to have a drama free existence in this market.

He will get away with this one because it's Columbus.

I don’t know if he’s a center or not. Neither do you. I’ll leave it up to him and mgmt to figure it out. He’s said he likes playing center better than wing so who knows?

If he can play there, the. I’m all for it. If Markov can move from forward to D….

Big Buff too! Went from D to F to back to D.

He was a specimen tho...
