Laine has been playing less ice time than Matthews, has been playing on his wrong wing, and yet is outscoring him badly.
Points/60 mins now favors Laine by 7.1 to 3.4. The arguments in the Laine vs Matthews thread are getting more feeble by the day.
Kicking McDavid's butt, too.
Has Laine ever played on an NHL sized rink? Just wonder how that might affect his game. Close quarters, less open space.

Good question. Near as I can tell, all of his hockey (including international tourneys) has been played on Olympic-sized rinks.
I feel like that's not going to be a factor for Laine. It's not as though his style is dependent on dipsy-doodling and using the full width of the surface.
Maybe Telegin's rights now has some trade value to the Jets.
Could be wrong completely, but wouldn't weak skating be exposed even more on the large ice surface?
His offersheet compensation would likely not be more than a 3rd rd pick.
Getting a 3rd rounder now for Telegin? This is Chevy.

If Burmistrov came back, maybe Telegin does too.

What a goal by scheifs
Does anyone have a video link of it yet?
NHL: 26 m x 60 mI thought Finland used hybrid rinks, in between olympic and NHL sized? I could definitely be wrong though.
