Patrik Laine Part VI: Help! He's Being Repressed!

[Romang67]

Last few posts in the last thread:

Laine deserves a rest, he's played over 100 games in the past year. He should skip World Champs imo, then come back and torch the NHL next season

I hope he skips them too. Rest, train and eat Patty!

I really wonder what he's being coached to do. I know what PoMo says, but I don't believe him.

Many times there is play going on in the O zone and Laine is on the ice but he isn't even on my TV screen. He's hanging back playing quasi-defense.

I'm sure they want him to be well rounded, but I hope we don't round the offensive star power right out of him. Not everyone has to play a 200 foot game, some players are simply goal machines, which is the most rare commodity in the NHL.

Wrong wing (I know some are going to argue with this, but it's been a factor throughout his career), coaching decisions and inept PP utilization. It's like you have someone give you a ferarri but you use it to pick up lumber at home depot.

I don't think that's on coaching. No other winger on the Jets does that

I just feel like they are telling him Defense first.

One of the reasons Patty is so good is that he doesn't play kids soccer out there. He's not just chasing puck battles around the ice, he's sliding into spots where if the puck is won by his team mate he is in a place to receive a pass. I have a feeling this works better with Schief than with Little because Scheif just has way better vision on the ice.

I think he's starting to get a bit tired. Long season, but the best rookie season I've seen for our franchise. Cool and exciting stuff!

Love having this kid For the next decade but he has hit a bimp (Peter Sellers) in the road. One more Hatty would be nice.

Crazy good season. Kid will hit 60 one day. Also I find it funny Matthews breaking Clarks record being such a big story. Think about what it would take to break teemus lol

Even if you combine laine and matthews goals this season you dont reach teemus rookie season goals xD

Lmao, I know right?

Everything Toronto Maple Leafs is big news in Toronto. They treat a player they claimed off waivers as if they just acquired Sidney Crosby.

Yeah Patty's definitely tired but the team not fighting for a playoff spot is probably affecting as well.

He had 6 SOG last game. Laine doesn't look tired to me. Bryan Little is the one who looks tired. He hardly seems to touch the puck the last ten games (at least by his standards)

Yeah Laine doesn't look tired much at all the way he's been playing, just in a slump. He's still getting and creating chances.

Hmm, the Calder thread has gotten even worse. They talk about Patty like he's some pleb, nothing unusual about what he's done. Pretty sad. I wish i could stop reading it.

It's ok, Patty will prove them all wrong next season.

Because he's obviously not done anything to gain respect this season....

They low key know how good he is. If you go read other threads/polls about rookies that aren't specifically about matthews/laine, some have them on the same tier as matthews, most all have him above marner. It's just that one thread where everyone is aids and they crap on Laine a lot.

But ya, I hope Laine wakes up soon so they quiet down, although now they seem to be arguing amongst themselves about Hyman.

Well apparently not enough to convince them. I think Patty has a shot at Rocket next year, if I had to bet I'd bet on him winning.
I really hope Winnipeg wins the Stanley cup before Toronto does, imagine how much worse they'd be then lol.

 

[Asiantuntija]

Pate will definitely have shot for Rocket next year. He will be better player than this year and i'm looking forward to see how much he can improve his strenght/physical play.

After watching Laine the past last games, cannot but admit how wrong I was about Scheifele. Thought he was borderline elite first line center. Looks like he's turning into a franchise center. Little has done little to nothing and the difference between the two centers are a night and day. One thing that really got me thinking was why Ehlers was the one promoted to the first line instead of Laine (who still had something to fight for this season). Then again with Maurice being the coach, I'm not at all surprised. I just hope the guy is gone after this season and Laine gets to play first line minutes next year. If he's stuck in the second line with Little and Perreault, then we can pretty much forget about Rockets'. This kid needs as much ice time as possible. Was it Maurice who forced Trouba play on the wrong side of the blueline and with a bad partner (Stuart?) the past seasons by the way? If yes, I would hardly be shocked and no wonder if he wanted out.

Hope he takes the rookie point record for the franchise. Heatly's​ 67. Needs a few big games.

What's the thrashers rookie goals record?

He's probably saving himself for the playoffs

Record holder was Ilya Kovalchuk with 29 goals.

e. Didn't read question correctly

Ya, Leafs fans are special. PPG is hard to argue and how would Matthews do in the NHL at 18, one less year of dev, 15 lbs lighter? Maybe as good, probably not. I don't think Maurice is doing Patty any favors for him either.

 

[EpicGingy]

I think some of you guys need to get over Matthews and the Calder.

It'll be good for your health.

Patrik Laine 34G

King Maurice is treating him like he's a bloody peasant.
