Player Discussion Patrik Laine: wearing a regular practice jersey

[covfefe]

Brother Andre came through

We finally have our Kovalev.

We finally have our Kovalev.

The sad reality is we just haven't seen many talented forwards play here , guys who are visibly incredibly skilled , who can get a free zone entry and control the puck

We saw it with Kovalev , a bit with Koivu , we see it with Nick and a somewhat with Cole , even an older Radulov. Its a small list and Laine is so talented he's already right up there with those guys lol

Kovulchuk was fun for a bit as well. Radulov was really really solid when he was on. I miss 07/08 Kovalev the most though

 

[Richard Bolton]

The guy is taking an early lead on the Molson Cup. Hyped!

And Kovalchuk.

 

[That Habs Fan]

TBH I may have underestimated his game, thought it was all about that shot... but he really controls play when he's out there.

Loved the methodical dangles.

That sounds so much like bipolar disorder. The highs are too high, making the lows even lower. He had something to latch unto, the cup run, which kept him focused, but once it was done, it left an emptiness. This is the hallmark or BPD. Same with that actor who was on Radio City, can't remember his name. He ended-up killing himself. He was bipolar and I remember reading an interview where he spoke of his disorder, and said that the end of shooting was when he felt most depressed. Bipolars can run on a high when they have focus for something they are passionate about, but once they can't put that focus to use, it leaves them empty.

As a person suffering from bipolar syndrome type 2 I just have to tell you that you are very off with your assessments and although I don't believe that what you wrote was in will, you are completely off by mistake. Please do not throw medical terms around lightly. None of us have any idea of Laine's diagnosis. What you just wrote though was extremely hurtful and accidentally dumb against people diagnosed with bipolar syndrome of all kinds.

1- I was talking about Richer, not Laine

2- I've personally known people who have BPD and the extreme cases are indeed like that.

3- what I wrote wasn't hurtful at all, but objective without judgement.

4- seeing how you made two incredibly bad readings, maybe you should re-read before responding. It was about Richer and there was absolutely no judgement.

 

[NobleSix]

What a shot. What a star.

I'm not getting into an argument, but your post was barraged with assumptions and generalized statements of a complex issue, of a person we know nothing about,. I belive that there was no ill will, but i I do react to people throwing out the term bipolar as it is so often misunderstood. Peace.

 

[KevSkillz4]

He is a star talent for sure. Passing ability, hands, shot !!

Just stay healthy !

 

[Plural]

Heard rumors that he's going to be left out from the 4-nations. Kind of wanted to see Laine in Finnish jersey...

His shot arsenal has always been dynamite. But he has shown glimpses of very good play control. Just hasn't been consistent. Injuries do play part in that. Laine also always seemed to me like a player who needs his confidence a lot. When he's on he seems almost unstoppable scoring machine and when he's not he seems like a liability.

Good to see him scoring one.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Showing some leg here. Perfect way finish off my night.

Played well defensively tonight imo. Lot of solid check he was hard on the puck.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

I love how ''smooth'' and effortless he makes it look. He was also responsible defensively. The difference between Dach and him on the 1st PP is literally night and day.

 

[HuGort]

Laine with Demidov make good line next season. If Dach returns to form. Or they acquire a good center

 

[Pierre Larouche]

What a laser of a shot

That shot was amazing- a rocket. I'm really excited for him and the team. If he can stay healthy and Dach regains his form thinks are looking up.

He said his problem, illness himself:

Patrik Laine syöksyi pimeyteen isänsä kuoltua â nyt hän haluaa puhua elämänsä parhaasta päätöksestä

Patrik Laine sanoo, ettei tiedä, olisiko päässyt asiasta koskaan yli, jos tuorein vamma olisi sattunut puolitoista vuotta sitten.

I cringe everytime people talk about athletes and celebrities as if they can’t have mental health issues.

Unless your Jonathan Drouin then you clearly can’t have an issue and your family must be taunted until you keave Montreal.

Interviewing the guy on BOTH KNEES full blown is diabolical man...

The hallmark of BPD are manic or hypomanic episodes which aren't related to being focused or passionate about something, rather its a symptom. The depressions aren't related to what they can't put focus on either.
