[Michoulicious]

Are you suggesting hes injury prone or faking?

Neither?

 

[rielledup]

Any indications on if laine will be on top pp and if caufield will be moved around to accommodate laine?

I think it's the top line + Laine + Matheson as PP1

 

[BergevinBurner]

How many hattricks do we think he's scoring tonight?

 

[Frank Drebin]

Neither?

Then what exactly is "not good"? Pretty typical for players to miss time.

It is not encouraging for any player to already need treatments days after just a few days of camp.

Even worse for a player that had his share of injuries in the last few years.

You think this is good?

Maybe someone cracked a joked about him having the same barber as Brendan Gallagher and it was actual therapy he needed

At least five. Anuthing below would be a a concern /s

I think that the point of playing preseason games for these previously injured vets is vets to shake their shake their rust off.
The first line are going to build on what they accomplished last season.

The progression goes for 2/3 of the second line and on and they’ll need some games to gel. I have high hopes for them to bring high scoring in real games along the line that will tilt the games. In my hopes they will make a headache for linematching for opposing teams.

It’s completely normal for vets to take off days during camp

Teams know they have a 82 game season ahead of them and want players to be in shape

Edit, & with Laine it could have been planned ahead for them to ease Laine back into the mix after missing that much time

Yeah a couple of seasons ago Suzuki had 3 or 4 therapy days during camp.
He went on to play his 82 games.

I’ve seen enough. 40+ goals easily

He just need to stay healthy!

 

[waffledave]

He was dangerous at all times. Very excited to see what he can do!

 

[VT]

I watched you guys play since our game against Buffalo wasn't... ehm... ideal.

Laine has always started slow in preseason and early in the season. He looked better in this game than he did in the preseasons in Columbus. It is good he has less kg.

Any clips of his performance? Thanks

thebu88 was right it seems, Laine is a bust ánd should be traded or sent to AHL.
