He actually looked miles better in the 2nd already. Actually tried to drive the play and backchecked.

Yah since his first goal he has been good. Best he has been in a while which is good to see

 

[Canadienna]

Yeah, Finland is all of Europe.

Fair enough, it was a poor choice of words. I haven't been to Finland, but I would have thought the beer culture in the number of geographically similar European countries I've visited would exist there too.

 

[chauron]

Hat trick Laine!!

Hat trick Laine

 

[Saekk]

Two goals on the pp and the last one on the empty net, this could be called Patrik Laine-hatty nowadays.

 

[MardyBum]

Now if only the team can start scoring 5v5.

Finns like beer. But the alcohol policy been quite strict compared to other European countries.

It's more free now than it was a decade or a few ago, but still a lot of rules and bureaucrasy. Possibly because people in the North like alcohol even too much.

Beer culture in reastaurants, bars and pubs is alive and well though.

Game was fun to watch. Too bad didn't have tickets!

As some wise man once said, we have the strictest alcohol politics but also most alcoholics.

Was nice to follow the first game in Helsinki online today. Couldn't have asked for a better script for Laine and his hat trick after his drought earlier.

Tomorrow I'm watching the second matchup live in Helsinki for my first live NHL game. Absolutely pumped!

Thats awesome. Hope you have a great time.

 

[Babooch]

Every one of Laine's goals made Leaf fans ache in the clavicle and scapula.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

I benched Laine today in fantasy. I'm so annoyed. Congrats to him, though. It was obviously just a matter of time until he got going again.

 

[Skolman]

Definitely not one of the better looking wives in the league

Laine in Finland? You know he was putting in one at least

Yep, and Barkov was a ghost. These nice story lines are reserved for the real franchises.

They play another game don’t they? Barkov will get a couple points next game

 

[missionAvs]

Dumb dumb Ritchie with the bad penalty.

Wow JT with one right off the crossbar.

[Ace]

Pominville 1000th game tonight.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

"elusivity" I don't think that's a word, Ray. It's elusiveness. Heiskanen is legit though.

 

[Canadienna]

Has there ever been an all finnish line in the NHL?

MTL icing Lehkonen - Kotkaniemi - Armia tonight
