Player Discussion Patrik Laine: wearing a regular practice jersey

[waffledave]

I am shocked. Wow! So so happy!

 

[Gally11]

Let's f***ing GO man
Feel better already

Perspective is a funny thing, if you told me last week he’d miss first two months of the season I would have been so annoyed, and now I’m so fired up lol

 

[McGees]

lol.
Marinaro went on for a while about his sources and knowledge and scoops about Laine....
and was totally wrong.

58:30

good catch

next time he is posted on this board. hope we all remember that

He said 4-5 months though.

 

[joepeps]

Good news... Speedy recovery, hope he's back soon

 

[sampollock]

Tony M is most likely feeling dumb

Chantal is for the people, she gets it.

Tony M is most likely feeling dumb

Yeah, he made that big speech about his sources and reputation.

Dude should start off tonight and say he got it wrong, bet he won’t. Not even wrong but he also said Laine was worse the Patrick, could not be far off.

I guess then lessoned learned wait to hear it directly from the source.

 

[bsl]

he practices the butterfly a lot I guess.

Along with swimming yoga should be required as well for all players. Even though it’s soy.

 

[Frankenheimer]

true.
but to get PL back is some great news. better then off for a year.

Not saying otherwise. When you go to the ledge, any step back feels amazing.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Yeah, It's probably a partial tear as well.

Let's hope the young guns can make their place and Laine can come back progressively, maybe use him mostly on the PP when he gets back and see where he ends the year.

Possibly, but lets not Dr. Recchi every Habs injury.

 

[Rob Sense]

Yep.


Laine: Knee gets savagely bent up after knee on knee at blueline with a 6ft4 220lbs opponent
SPRAIN

Reinbacher: Skating by himself
R.I.P KNEE

Last year Dach's injury did not look that bad at the moment. Key is the ACL and if it tears then surgery and it can happen with awkward twists. Laine's looked worse but on the replay it was mostly a side hit. I thought for sure it was bye bye MCL however there must be more flex laterally compared to anterior-posterior. Better than expected.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Wow. I really hope there is no setback.

I remember when Carey was day to day, only to play 5 games and end his career...

Please don’t.

I bet you he doubles down and claims they are going to try playing through the injury even though surgery was recommended.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

The boys must be fired up hearing this news. They need to put in the extra effort while Laine is out, and have the team be near a playoff spot when Laine comes back

The only "scoops" Marinaro knows are related to ice cream.

 

[PavelBrendl]

Amazing news. I was hopeful when I saw him sitting on the bench with his knee bent at practice, indicating that the brace wasn't meant to totally immobilize it. Given how cursed this team has been, I wasn't holding my breath. Must still be tough for a guy that I'm sure was ready to get back at it and prove he's still a top scorer in the league.

 

[ReHabs]

No tear at all it’s a sprained knee

Correct. I think any tear would require surgery.? He bent but did break.

A sprain is a partial or minor tear.

They sometimes require surgery to fix (ie heal quicker) but the downsides of such an aggressive move are numerous so often enough you go with the conservative “rehab” and physiotherapy approach and hope it heals fully.

Well all be rooting for Laine to come back at 100%

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Back when ChestBras Bergie used to tell us all kinds of beautiful little lies. Like trades are hard and c'est pas playstation , bad times all around

 

[Habby4Life]

Yeah, the guy sure thinks a lot of himself. I laugh every time he sprays his hair with mist. What a loser!

 

[River Meadow]

He said 4-5 months though.

Where? He said 2-3 months?

Laine was a goalie as a kid, he probably does have more flex laterally.
