Post-Game Talk: The Laine Show. Jets Win 4-3 in OT

[Neuf]

Shooting from the circles on a breakaway is vintage Laine.

Shooting on a two on one is vintage Laine.

Welcome back, Pate!

Does roughing get you the Gordon Howe hatrick?

Marty Howe hattrick

 

[Jets 31]

If Laine does leave, do you go with him?

 

[Teemusalami204]

English lesson to the Finnish fans, "ran" is past tense. Last I checked Laine was on the ice tonight.

Laine: 2G-1A=3Pts.

If anything Maurice has coached him into a massive contract extension.

Forbert was really good tonight. He looked comfortable with Pionk, saved a goal, and I didn't notice any sloppy plays by him. Beaulieu and Niku looked lost out there, especially Niku. Cannot wait for DeMelo to return.

Yup. But good ol' POMO proclaimed him a top 8 defenseman after seeing him for all of 7 seconds in camp while banishing Heinola and Samberg. His eye for talent continues to be top notch.

 

[KingBogo]

Only a brain dead idiot of a gm would ever consider trading Laine.

At some point if you can't sign him, everyone needs to be traded before the have zero value. But to date Chevy has played this very well. He hasn't escalated anything, or allowed anyone in the organization to escalate the situation. As I said before, once Laine realizes he can carry his own line he will fill more and more comfortable in his role with the team.

 

[kanadalainen]

Good second, good third, great Laine.

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

Fun to watch. Our “second” line would be the first line on most teams.

 

[WolfHouse]

know who looked good on D?
Morrissey
Forbert

know who didn't?
Niku
Beaulieu

By the end of the game, Morrissey and Pionk were by far our best D...

Forbort's only good play was throwing himself into the goal to save himself from being the goat

Still want DeMelo back in the lineup asap

 

[Tommigun]

I've said it before, if there is any truth to Laine wanting to play with Scheifele, he absolutely deserves to. Wheeler bogs down that line.

If it’s true I don’t think it’s necessarily about Scheifele specifically, but with the best players and with plenty of ice time.
KC and Stastny are certainly up there, and if Maurice doesn’t just play the first line to the ground maybe that’s enough?
But Stastny would need to be signed, can’t get back to not having a 2C. Remember Eakin last season? I’d demand a trade too

 

[jokesondee]

In regards to Forbert, he wasn't noticeable - that's all I want. Sbisa was always noticeably bad, so he's a huge improvement. Still a third paring guy, but I'll take what we can get.

Yup. I think he'll be fine with Pionk. That'll be a decent #2 pairing.

 

[bustamente]

If this is the way Laine has decided that he wants to play then I hope he wants to stay and the Jets sign him, if he has a great year and still wants to leave then teams will have to play through the nose for his services.

 

[raideralex99]

Now that's what I call two big points to start the season.

 

[Howard Chuck]

that and the national anthem....like, why bother?

At least it’s only one all season!

This deserves a double like.

 

[WolfHouse]

Just saying... I don’t think Dubois could ever command a game like that. Fun to watch. Connor and laine could become one of the deadliest duos around. Go Jets!

Then you missed Columbus' playoff run last year...

 

[Scheifele55]

I thought he was noticeable, in a good way. He saved a goal, appeared VERY comfortable in his own zone and didn't make any sloppy plays.

Lol Laine's post game is gold. Slept on defense, wanted a break away, faked out some Flames players in our end, faked out myself and it went in!

Hockey's back 2nd and 3rd looked good, 2 points is 2 points let's go!

I really think people mistake Laine’s candid self deprecating humor for something else.

 

[heretik27]

I'm really looking forward to more of this from Laine. Ehlers was skating, Connor was playing well, Stastny had his moments. The Lowry, Copp, and Appleton line looks like it'll give teams fits. It was a good effort from the second period out and they earned the win. The only thing I wasn't sure I liked was how much Beaulieu reminded me of Mark Stuart at times when he went for the hit and got beat only to give up a scoring chance, but here's hoping that's just him needing to shake some rust off.

i have no idea how long u have been posting on here but laine is not a center!!!...do not centers carry the line like 55!!

 

[PhilJets]

I would insert
Demelo back and if Heinola can play he should vs. TORONTO.

sit
Poolman and Niku for that game.

 

[KingBogo]

Heinola and Samberg are not banished. They are on ELCs so there is no waiver wire risk. In a shortened training camp with no pre-season games you don't throw away players you don't need to.

If he keeps playing like he did tonight everyone on the team will want to play with him and his issues with minutes and role will go away imo.

He will also get the money he wants as we can afford to pay it, flat cap or no.
