GDT: Welcome to the NHL Denton | MTL @ CBJ | 7 PM EST

Bob HATED JJ. JJ would either run someone through Bob or back into Bob himself.
I don't want to hear anymore about Vronk being slow.
He needs to be signed now.
Can't watch the game 
Gotta say I don't understand why Laine decided to handle the press the way he did. By focusing so much on giving the middle finger to a small part of the fanbase that supposedly hates him now, combined with the comments on the org or team or whatever non-specific, he just made sure to turn everyone in Columbus against him. That's not how you handle things and it really came off as being bitter about something.

Just so bizarre, the organization gave him what he wanted. It's not like Waddell forced him to play for us for a while to up his trade value.

I was happy that he was mentally healthy and getting a fresh start. Now, I just want to see him get his ass kicked.
What you said. Sucks for us who would like to see both succeed. I can easily see the mentality that gets him there, couple that with a dose of Finnish pessimism and you get those comments, but it was so unnecessary... If he needed some extra drama, well, he got it. (The MTL pre-game video comments weren't that bad, some of the same things as Porty's article but Porty had some extras, guess he said a few different things at different times or something. Felt like he was trying to be polite at first but they egged him on a bit, and then he just couldn't keep his mouth shut. Alas, I'm probably just trying to see it through some white-blue[and red] glasses.)Can't watch the game

I can't imagine being a defender going full speed into the boards with Voronkov barreling down on you.

If he has some beef with the org behind the scenes that's one thing, like I get the frustration and even speculated on it in the past, when he signed his contract it was going to be a "retool" but part of the reason they kept sucking was him getting injured every year right at the start... but in any case never shit on the fans, show some gratitude to the people that make it possible for you to earn millions chasing a black piece of rubber. Here he decides to focus on the negative which honestly is a bit alarming to me. I thought he got over that.
There's being a straight shooter and answering a question but here he just came off as a bit of a prick. What about the fans (which prior to his comments at least seemed to be the large majority) who stuck with him and wished him well despite everything? Don't even need to mince words to turn the answer into expressing some gratitude to those people and walk away a bigger man if you mean what you say.

Just saw Laine’s comments, what a freaking tool, to say that when playing for a team with less points than Columbus
He'll never play in Columbus again, just like Jack Jo.....uh....yeah.

Does Montreal cry about everything? Every single battle I hear their bench screaming for a penalty
