My point was not to overblow the effects of a surgery done 10 years ago and the effects of minor issues with the knee afterwards. My point was to bring up, that the same knee has been operated multiple times before the latest incident (as stated by Laine himself) and that the knee has given him cause for concern after these operations. It certainly doesn't make the current situation and his recovery more positive, quite the opposite.

That looked horrible. Expecting the worst.
I was so excited about this season I even bought a ten game pack to take my son to his first hockey games (took him to the prospects game already for his first).
You expect injuries but you don't expect something that looks as bad as this. I am expecting the worst, out for the season, and Reinbacher on top of it. Sigh.

It was hard to focus on the rest of last night’s game after seeing the injury. I felt a little deflated. I too was excited to see the team
this year.

It's gonna be alright, it allows Roy and maybe even Heineman to acquire more value or make someone else expendable.

FWIW the team many have added only Hutson, but you have Dach back after a year and an upward trending Slaf. This team will feel different than last year.

It's all mental. You can train your mind to minimize the pain. That hit caused a lateral pressure on that knee causing the overbending, something snapped.
I think Kent is running out of those. Zegras trade rumours incoming.

Yeah,
The issue is, Zegras is worth something, and Laine wasn't.
We should stand down unless we can get a deal, which isn't super likely as you said.

Not making one’s private life a public affair seems obvious to me. Keep your IG to friends only, it’s an option in the settings.

What I don’t understand/like is how some turn this into well we knew he was injury prone argument
When people do dirty things/plays out of line it doesn’t make the receiving players injury prone
This was simply a ….ng stupid play and might have ended Laines NHL career with it

Worst case scenario i'm expecting a ACL MCL tear.
Best case scenario the knee tweaked but limited damage was done
Let's just hope for the best

Who makes a hit and just before hitting leans on the knee...this was intentional as it could get. And did you see that guys grin on the interview?

This is what jabronis do when they know they're missing their check after getting deked out. The reflex is to reach for the hit and this is what happens.
Don't think it was intentional, but just incompetence. They teach you not to do this because it puts yourself and the other player in danger.
His gigantic grin in the post game interview said otherwise. He knew what he was doing and the guy is an ECHL plug, can’t even make the marlies. On top of everything he doesn’t answer for it and turtles, come on you are 6’4 220 lbs, stand up.
He deserves all the hate because of the grin after, sorry. Now his family and death treats and all that, that’s way too far.

As a kid growing up, I was the sibling that played all the sports and was always outside doing something. Never had a broken bone or more then a scratch during that time. My sister was the complete opposite. She couldn’t go on a swing set without ending up in a minor emergency. You’re right it’s not just bad luck. Most of the times preventable injuries are caused by bad habits.
