Player Discussion Patrik Laine

[River Meadow]

No way we push past the sens and Philly they got much better.

I hear Philly got this really good Russian guy....

 

[Tyson]

If everything goes to plan, everything.

PP and PK better improve, Monty better stand on his head, and NS eats his wheaties. Not to mention they don't get another long term injury to anyone of the remaining top 4 guys.

It will be a very long year. We will be invested in watching the lottery balls this summer.

76 points last year without Dach, lost 23 games by one goal. Defense is key along with getting the special teams improved.
We have adequate goaltending.

 

[Rapala]

I'm not even sure why I keep coming back to this thread. I might hide it. FAAAAK

They have mediocre goaltending and a defense that isn't better than ours. They are grittier though.

they are in the same tier of shitness also , not much to brag ;(

I'd argue they are much Gritty'er

They missed out on a shutdown stay at home D they are crazy

How so? Reinbacher was gone at 5th, and the word is that he would have been gone at 6th had we not taken him. So Philly at 7th did not miss out on him.

Did it?

I don't think so. Laine is totally replaceable.

wow. replaceable like a old piece of clothing.
I will miss seeing him more that

it was a smart ass attempt at a joke on my part lol

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Laine tomorrow

But in all actuality Laine is probably done until the new year minimum

 

[OldCraig71]

He was never ours anyhow. When I looked at the replay today I couldn't help but notice the awkward position that Laine put himself in. If the Leaf player never touches him and he catches an edge he's out with a groin injury. He looked rusty on that play and more like a beer leaguer than an NHL veteran.

 

[McGees]

That tweet is basically just listing knee injuries recovery time range...

back in time....for the playoffs

 

[The Real Timo]

Teams don’t have their own surgeons. They have to wait for swelling to go down. Then scan and then get multiple opinions I’d imagine. It takes more than two days for that.

Yep. My wife has been waiting for an MRI since Feb and it’s scheduled for Nov. so I expect we’ll know about Laine’s knee sometime in July

I wonder why he looked rusty. Any guesses?

 

[JuJu Mobb]

We will have to ''Stastny brothers'' Demidov out of Russia.

[Skip Bayless]

That timeline seems to leave open a return at the end of the season.

Are we deliberately pulling the Mark Stone ploy?

This is a more accurate gif for Laine

And KHL playoffs start March 26th. Depending on how ska does could you imagine Adding demigod and Laine at that point if we're in a playoff spot. Ultimate wild card.

If we are in a playoff spot March 26th. I’ll fire up the BBQ and eat my shoe.

Both those teams are significantly worse than us. Guaranteed.

 

[the valiant effort]

Whatever happens I trust the radio host in Alberta, the heroin hash dealer in Ontario, the drama teacher currently in Ottawa and the never-once-held-a-job (but qualified for pension at 31 yo) guy that is replacing the drama teacher next year to fix the system for us
