Player Discussion Patrik Laine: wearing a regular practice jersey

[Saundies]

I honestly haven't been on here since that game because it was too painful to deal with, and I didn't want to doomscroll for 4 days.

2-3 months is absolutely the best-case scenario. Hopefully, his rehab goes well, and there are no hiccups along the way. Thought it was the season for sure.

This is still going to throw things off for the team, probably for the whole year. But at least he'll be back at some point.

As long as the league allows for these scrubs to be in uniform, talented players will be targeted. If the gesture is intentional or not, that's open for debate. Goons have always been part of the sport. Talented players must learn to protect themselves from potential career ending surgeries.

Or not play them in preseason
screw this

No tear at all it’s a sprained knee

A sprain is a tear, just means it wasn’t a complete one

Sign PTO guys and play them to meet the NHL qouta.

Play your vets last game of the preseason as a tune up. They hate preseason and don't need it to be ready.

Hope the habs learn from this mess.

He needs lots of vitamin C....lol

 

[Habs]

He's still young, have him pop a few pills, he'll be fine

I take those pills!

 

[SpeedyPotato]

He needs lots of vitamin C....lol

I think he just needs a lot of TLC

 

[FerrisRox]

I was in the acceptance stage of a march return. Now to hear it could possibly be before Christmas....cannot believe it. Wow. Such good news. Maybe we can have nice things

I think he will absolutely suit up before the Christmas break.

 

[Tyson]

I think he will absolutely suit up before the Christmas break.

Great news! Now if the rest of the team can stay somewhat healthy...

 

[sampollock]

I think he will absolutely suit up before the Christmas break.

Feb 1 is good by me

Well, technically, you have have a knee sprain without any tear at all. But, to your point, saying it's a "knee sprain" doesn't mean there aren't partial or even complete tears.

 

[Tyson]

I take those pills!

 

[sampollock]

Blue ones?

 

[FerrisRox]

It will be long before that.

 

[behemolari]

he practices the butterfly a lot I guess.

started as a goalie, you might have some truth here

 

[red devil]

Feb 1 is good by me

That would be 4 months so that would mean he would have a set back

 

[Trabdy2]

The best news I think we could have hoped for. Could suit up by Christmas!

If only we can stay in the hunt until then. Also, it'll give us a chance to see what some other players can do with a Top 6 role.

Dr Mulder probably operated on the wrong body part already and amputated his good leg.

I heard Mulder is actually a Dentist......don't quote me,just some chatter.

Don't go chasing waterfalls

[DeeQ]

Wow, did not see that coming. It looked bad, like bad bad. He must have done a lot of yoga during the PAP.

Maybe something needs to be cleared up in the offseason but it's probably more important for him to play this season. Otherwise he would have been off the ice for nearly two years.

Laine must be feeling really great with all the love he’s been getting about this good news

HHahahha.

The old guy is nailing it with gifs lately !

 

[overlords]

The pop when he gets announced at his first game at the Bell Centre is going to be some Stone Cold Steve Austin shit.
