If I had to explain Laine as a hockey player, I would probably post something like this:
He might be a very skilled sloth. He might have a great shot. But he still has the intensity and the effort level of a sloth. You won't win many cups if Laine is one of your highest paid players.

???No, Marc Bergevin grabbed a puck in the air and threw it into his own net and people thought he was smart enough to be a GM.
