Patrik Laine

He says it was his decision not to have surgery.

Doctor Laine.

So this may not be "good news" after all. He may need surgery but like a brain-dead anti-vaxxer, Laine "did his own research" and decided he only needed horse paste instead?

So gonna try the Josh gorges and just play without an ACL?

he got 2-3 opinions as to whether it was necessary or not, clearly at least one expert opined he did not need it ergo he's listening to the science.

Take it to your politics threads. Or just text count about it

Yeah, the team can't force Laine to have surgery. Clearly at least one doctor, and possibly more, deemed it not necessary at this point.

If they thought the surrgery was really necessary, I think the team could "force" him to get it, I mean not physically in terms of strapping him down to a chair but they would hold it against him in ice time, contract negotations, etc. It looks like it's not an obvious decision and there's often unknowns that are the case with the human body, but they thought it was worth taking a risk to not miss the whole year.

Great… it’s become a Hail Mary

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Laine will be back in 2-3 months....until he isn't.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

This, of course, changes nothing. A Leafs skill player still needs to be targeted and punished and when the Marlies play Laval Pare himself needs to have his head caved in. Only then will balance be restored to the universe.

[Elliotlaker]

hmm, where does he fit in now? power play? 3rd line duties?

 

[Habsy]

He's the gadget player.

We just got through a discussion of Dach's effort level this season and Laine's has been worse. He's either the laziest person in the world or just dumb.


Actually, having dealt with addiction and patients and medications, Laine looks to be like a heavily medicated person by his demeanor and effort level. Sad to say but the signs are all there. We don't know what he may be on.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

He's either the laziest person in the world or just dumb.

He could easily be both of those things at the same time.

I never watched him that closely before he became a Hab so I don't know but was his pace always this slow? Is it his injuries that have slowed him or was he just not particularly fast ever?

 

[Habspatrol]

I'd move him to the 2nd PP unit too. I prefer having Cole set up at the hashmarks for that one-timer. All Laine knows to do is stand there and wait for the puck. Caufield will at least be creative and adlib if necessary.

Although he has 1/3 of all our PP goals this year, in 50 games.

He was on fire for awhile and been shit for awhile now.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I agree, PP has a whole hasn't been good a Laine is part of the reason why.

it was the difference tonight...Hawks had two PP goals...we didn't even come close
