Laine's sad violin goal celebration

[Jets2point0]

Personally not a big fan of unsportsmanlike cellies like that.

Right. Deploying robots is much more entertaining

I never said that though. Just not a fan of taunting while you're winning. Same reason I roll my eyes at the stare down culture in the NBA.

Fair enough. I personally enjoy seeing player personalities come through on the ice regardless of the score, but agree it’s pretty ruthless when you’re up 4-0. If that was an OT celebration it would have been epic

damn that explanation from the comments makes it even more ruthless

It is actually straight "under the belt" to Mikko Koivu!

Koivu's team in Finland was (and is) TPS and it has a legendary score song where lyrics includes strongly word "violin". Happy and fun song, that plays always in TPS home games when they score. Every body in Finland knows that.

So, when Laine was playing in Finland, his team was "Tappara". Tappara and TPS are great rivalries in Finland so that "violin" was DEFINETLY for Koivu!"

After reading that I now realize how savage the mind games by Laine were there

There is too much violins in hockey if you ask me.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

inb4 Mulletman makes a thread about Laine being primed for a generational violin recital this weekend...

 

[McDLT]

Using Koivu's old team's goal celly against him is pretty funny.

edit to add this

How can someone be ugly than macdavid or crosby? Okay ovy is, but yeah...

Yeah me too, I love watching cellies of passion. Theo and Teemu's are some of the best.

Just always thought taunting the bench was a dick move separate from being excited about scoring a goal. Up to the wild to respond though.. and that's not looking so good

 

[Dzonna]

Way better than Matthews, does he even play?

No he plays the Bassoon. Bassoon to be out of the playoffs.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Thought it was funny.

He's a hell of a player but he must be one of the top-5 ugliest guys in the league

Laine has easily become my favorite Amish hockey player of all-time..that f***ing Amish Assassin is glorious!!!

 

[Over the volcano]

dickish

 

[Saku11]

He was neutral to me before , now i consider him to be a arrogant little child

yep, needs more cowbell...

 

[illpucks]

Got nothing on Kuzy's "the bird"

 

[Royale With Cheese]

If Laine doesn't have a nickname yet, this should definitely be it.

 

[tony d]

Laine is good, I'll give him that. Seems like a guy with a good personality as well, that's always good for the game.

This guy must be real fun at parties.

Hockey culture is so lame. Love when players show some personality.

Neat

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Remember Ovechkin's hot stick?
Yah he'll never do this again since hockey culture but nice to witness even the littlest amount of swagger and confidence in the league

 

[authentic]

I thought the goal was as good as the celebration.

 

[AmericanDream]

hahaha, I have always liked him as the Amish Assassin - he just reminds me of that one show about Amish Gangsters lol!! Plus his shooting accuracy is lethal hence the "Assassin" part...spread the word lol!!
