This is what got him benched for anyone wondering
He then did it AGAIN on another shift and the Canes player hit crossbar.
He deserved the benching.

This was inevitable and probably it's best it happened this early, Torts has sent his message and now we'll see if things can work with Laine or not. It has been made clear his normal work ethic won't fly so either he makes changes, or he or Torts will be a goner.
He legit earned it. Contributed to one goal against, and then directly led to a prime opportunity seconds later by the same guy that just went off the post. Plus a number of turnovers.Is Torts the problem or did Laine really deserve getting benched?
Well you saw something on Twitter about it. You could at least link the tweet.I saw the news on Twitter, I have no clue what's going, hence why I'm asking the question on the main boards. It seems huge to me and I see nothing on it...
Didn't defend the netfront properly on McGinn goal. Apparently. Didn't know that's a wingers job.
His very next shift, actually. With the same Canes player who had just scored.He then did it AGAIN on another shift and the Canes player hit crossbar.
He deserved the benching.
Wow, you're really salty about that, huh?Laine plays like he has horse blinders on

Wingers covering for defensemen is absolutely standard practice. I believe every single NHL team does this.Didn't defend the netfront properly on McGinn goal. Apparently. Didn't know that's a wingers job.
Well get used to Laine turning the puck over at the blueline, it's something he has done his entire career. He is a high risk high reward player who is going to have bad turnovers at times. Maurice tried to get him to change his game for 4 years, it clearly hasn't worked.Laine was a turnover machine all game trying to carry the puck in and lose it at the blue line.
The coverage on the second goal was the last straw for Torts.
While I don’t prefer such radical means of handling players, Torts had legitimate reasons to do what he did.
