Player Discussion Patrik Laine: wearing a regular practice jersey

[The Last Red]

People are really giving up on Dach way too easy. It’s pretty embarrassing.

We are in the most "instant gratification" era in history. Thank you, cell phone!

Head down, terrible pass, slow, weak effort and terrible shot.

I just saw him in a video. No idea what angle Engels is going for here.


I'm serious on everything

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

My guess is he's back Sunday against the Bruins

 

[behemolari]

Yeah. Is kinda crazy he is coming back so soon. I has expecting him to with us in late January. I'm surprise Reinbacher injury is taking the whole season. Patrik Laine injury looked way more awful.

I also hope they don't rush him with us. The last think we want is another injury....

we all hope that but gotta be realistic here, one healthy game would be miracle

Play him with Heineman and Dach at center. Slaf goes back in Suzuki line.

Laine gives them some options...............who knows what Marty will do..............the blender ala Calude Julien seems to be up for discussions....

The greatest goat era of all time!

Poor guy is gonna get eviscerated by the fan base when he struggles.

I don't think so. He's going to get some leeway for a while. And I believe he's not in the long-term plans in most fans' heads, just some intriguing experiment.

Show me some new Patrick Laine training footage already.

 

[JianYang]

Right. I get you were making a different point there.

People turn fast, but it works both ways. I don't like the mindset, but the reality for alot of fans is that you're as good or bad as your last game.

I mean Dach got like 5 games of leeway and his injury was longer.

Maybe, but Dach was perceived as the number two C and a central piece of our rebuild, while Laine is some unexpected addition. But seeing how this fanbase is overreacting over a single loss (or a single win), you're probably right.
