Player Discussion Patrik Laine: wearing a regular practice jersey

[Paddyjack]

It's very much possible that Laine is out for a few months and returns at some point this season, and that I think would be enough to give the players a jump knowing we have a weapon coming later on.

I feel like I've seen knees swing like that before and players were out for a few months and returned

Let's wait to see what medical report is first

I will be honest with you, it swinged enough that at first I even thought he may have fractured his tibia. Probably not that bad, but still terribad.

Let’s wait for the official medical evaluation before panicking. But with Habs « luck », he’s gonna be out for a long, long time. Back to square one again ????

I've been watching habs hockey for 22 years and I've gotten my knee fully blown the f*** out.

It's over for Laine this season.

Knowing Habs bad luck with injuries I expect nothing less.

 

[Schooner Guy]

I normally don't predict the extent of injuries but his knee was bending the wrong direction according to all my biology classes. It looks.. season ending

Yeah. Him throwing his helmet in the tunnel out of frustration tells me he knows his knee's a mess. It's a shame.

Yup, 6 to 8 months, boyos.

 

[Walksss]

Well the good news is I've seen some athletes look like their knees were about to explode and they ended up without extensive damage.

Sometimes it's the injuries that don't look like much that are the worst. We can only hope.

Clearly he is done.

Tell tale sign for minimum 3-4month injury.

Well that last X post is making me lose all hope. When can we open up the 2024-2025 tank thread?

 

[The Real Timo]

Clearly he is done.

Given what he's gone through before, i don't discount that he might just call it quits. Wouldn't blame him.

I never hated anything more in my life than I hate the leafs right now.

fair point. not much we can do but hope till the news is out

 

[Canadienna]

Fingers crossed for a miracle.

He seemed so vulnerable in camp interviews. Just wanted to be happy and healthy. I feel awful for him.

 

[Vachon23]

It sure seems like a long-term injury...but we never know, I think best case scenario is still 4-6 weeks
This one sucks even more cause it happen to an injury-prone player but it was just a cheap shot.

Let's hope for the best but be ready for the worst.

Far from being a Doctor but I would be extremely surprise if it’s only that

 

[Frank Drebin]

did we not expect a knee brace and crutches at the least?

I really hope the organization supports him all the way through that. It can be very lonely, and the last thing he needs is to feel lonely.

People should have expected that, I'm not sure why they are surprised.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Every time I watch the replay of the contact, it somehow keeps looking worse.

 

[ChikN]

No panic, it's only a mild knee sprain he'll be back in 2 weeks. He's young and flexible.

 

[Habssince89]

The "Win it for Patrik" era just started

 

[Thomas Sowell]

did we not expect a knee brace and crutches at the least?

I know right? I think we've established its likely months but I have to be honest if it's a 3-4 month injury that's a very positive scenario in comparison from where my brain wanted to go originally lol

Too bad Xhekaj didn't f***ed Paré's up. Scum f***.
