His team is getting shelled with him on the ice and his sh% is over 50% so far this season. We've seen this song and dance before.How about that Laine kid, pretty awesome!
Scored two goals and still a 0 on the +/-.How about that Laine kid, pretty awesome!

Yeah, and sadly i really doubt the bulb ever goes on for him and he puts in the extra effort to be a complete player. He always struck me as a guy whos team could lose 8-2 and he scored both goals but was atrocious defensively, and would be like "i scored two goals, i did my job, rest of the team let me down."Yep, 2 goals on the PP, awful stats in his own zone, and his team lost! It's like he never left.

Since the trade thread was closed, I guess we're going to have a stickied Laine thread.
Maybe, but always seemed like more of a me guy to me.I'm not sure he's in a drastically different situation than he was here. He's their best forward now, which he liked, but the team has issues just like this one and I'm not sure how they solve them.
I think he is a team guy and wants to win and help his team win, but he wants to be the reason they win more often than not.
Since powerplay goals don't count on +-, that's actually decent in a game where the opposition scores 6Scored two goals and still a 0 on the +/-.
After Tampa Bay, that division is all over the place... once Elvis and Werenski are healthy that will make a big differenceThat was a weird game with CBus/Carolina
At one point the Jackets had 4 goals on 15 shots with about 5 minutes left in the game. I really don't think they mounted any sustained pressure for the entire game unless they were a man up
No fault to Laine but he does what does which is scores but he needs some linemates to do the heavy lifting. They are likely headed for a just miss the playoff spot but they need some more talent there or they are going to get buried game after game
That Ottawa defense and Vancouver defense.
Will really distort how the top teams in the North compare to the rest of the league best teams.
This set up guarantees a Canadian team is represented in the final 4 though.
Scored two goals and still a 0 on the +/-.
the interesting thing will be the metrics by which the Laine-Dubois trade are measured.
some dunderheads will use goals.
I think that you'll have to look at overall team success, fancystats and whether or not either player signs a long-term contract with their new team.
not saying that as sour grapes to the trade. but i can totally see some people saying "see?!?! Laine scored 40 goals. the Jackets KILLED the trade!" even if the Jackets finish out of the playoffs forever and ever amen
His website is down "indefinitely", so it's possible he got scooped up by some team. That's what happened to previous bloggers who got headhunted by NHL teams, IIRC.Anyone know what happened to Sean Tierney? Up until a couple of days ago, he was posting daily charts on Twitter. Now he's vanished along with months of tweets.

Thinking about this season, 56 games, 7 team division that plays only within the Div. We see each team 9 or 10 times. Made me think of the 'Original Six'. Each team played only 5 other teams all year. They certainly had their rivalries. Then they went to play-off series against teams they knew very well.
