Winnipeg is Good: Patrik Laine

[Ducky10]

Also possible is that Domi's wife hated Domo

I believe that was one of the reasons Frolik bolted, his wife didn't enjoy it here

My wife used to work in a place where she would commonly run across Jets wives. I remember her telling me what a wonderful person Teemu's wife was anytime she saw her, very down to earth. Her recollection of Domi's wife was quite the opposite to put it mildly.

Ehlers signing his 7 year extension bodes pretty well for the Jets locking up Pate long term. He's not leaving his bestie for a few dollars.

Well since the Jets control his rights for at least the next 5 years, I don't think he's going anywhere regardless of what type of contract he signs.

I swear there are so many quotables in the article for signs in the playoffs. Lol.

Yep, point was he resigns long term and the Jets buy up a number of years beyond FA.

Perhaps Chipman should hire his mom as the team limo driver?

Most likely signs a 7-8 year deal

Pretty sure laine lurks around here.


Getting some proffessor vibes from the article haha.

Anyways winnipeg got a good one here (duuuh) plz take care of him.

 

[KingBogo]

Great article. Love the kid and glad he is ours.

 

[Crazed Fan]

This was such a great read. Loved it. What a guy.
The desire to win for each other and all of us is just so incredibly positive. I love this team.

NHL 18 Jets stats
91 Offense
91 Defense
89 Goaltending

Thanks for the boost Patrik!

Having a friend who is in his first full season in the NHL and after figuring out how much of his actual $875,000 he takes home, and rent he pays in a large US urban centre, Winnipeg would be an ideal start to a career. Laine is quite safe I would say in that he will make A LOT of money in his career, but to start out, getting a nice condo or house for cheaper than what most guys get a bachelor pad apartment in a lot of US cities would be pretty nice. I know the weather can be an issue, but he seems content to enjoy his down time in front of a big screen with a system. Sign him long term!!

So good
Awesome we have him on the Jets for (likely) years to come

Love the wi-fi jabs, and how the LA hotel of all places gets a special mention.

The kid is going to be monster hockey player and what will Patty be in the playoffs....

Goose pimples....

Just a bit of an add on for us Laine vs Ehlers trash talk fan boys



Some funny stuff from these two

I love near the end when Laine is talking about his beard and says "I know copper doesn't like it" and you can hear Copp in the background saying "I hate it" lool

Hmm, maybe Ehlers is being that kid that loses at videogames imtentionally so that the other kid keeps playing...trying to coerce Laine into signing long term

 

[razorsedge]

What an amazing life. Mom cooks and cleans for you while you play hockey and COD.

Kid sounds like a genuinely good kid!

"I am not here to look good I am here to play hockey."
lol

Jets should hand out Laine goat beards for fans to wear at the first playoff game.

That would be awesome!!

@Afterburner if your put a long stringy beard on your Laine avatar, he’d look like a 3 member of ZZ top

Hahaha he so would! You make me wish I had mad photoshop skillz

 

[PhilJets]

I wonder how Laine system is set up.

Hey Laine are you reading this? we want to see some pics

 

[Insthofen]

What a piece. What a character. What a player.

 

[Jets 31]

I also love how he has no problem telling everyone that he lives with his mom , i know when i was 19 going on 20 i would never have the guts to tell everyone that , you weren't cool if you still lived at home with mom . Although it might be awkward if he brings a date home .
