Player Discussion Patrik Laine

92 makes me vomit a bit

It's weird and will take getting used to after watching him as 29 for so long.

Nice game from Laine, they need repetition and learning their timings together and the results will follow. They created a lot of offense, just couldn't bury it this time. My favorite was that sneaky PP pass from point to Dach on the left post, where Laine was going to the right, and just shot a pass behind him to wide open Dach.

Love how he rushes the puck. There’s rust but there’s shit tons of potential.

Reminds me a bit of Malkin how he carries the puck with that big frame.

What I liked most was how the crowd supported Laine. Every time he touched the puck there was excitement in the building. It was obvious that Laine was feeding off that support. It reminded me of the first game that Kovalev played for the Canadiens in Montreal in 2003-2004. You could almost read what every fan was thinking then: Is this guy really playing for us?

I wish Laine well.
