From Finnish tabloid, I'll try to at least translate some of it since it's quite long.
If PpG continues last of the season like this, Laine would broke earlier 70 by 10 points.
Most noticable in games have been hightended work moral. Laine does now normal things very eagerly.
"After last season I though by myself a lot that I need to do more. And with that, I can do more, strip pucks and create more places for others too"
"I can get to the game better, and my playing doesn't just stay waiting the that others will just deliver the puch where I'm coasting. Now I'm trying to participate to do those things and by that I've gotten a lot of points"
Winnipegs coaches have noted Laine's devolopment. His TOI is 19,25 per game, which is over two minutes than last season. His current playspot is stable in the first line.
"Assists count probably is because whole game. Earlier seasons I've done so many goals that now opponents respect that and try to take me out. So then someone is open so I will be able to feed them"
"When I play with to great scorers, I have to try to feed them also. Maybe I could shoot more at some points. I might even try to have too fancy passes. More forward, I could score more.
(About PP)
"I've played even in the middle of the square. But opponents mostly play that I don't get the puck so often. Then someone stay free and can be able to do goals. I'm a good distraction there.
Laine isn't worried by earlier goal totals.
"It just doesn't have gone in, but I'm pretty happy about my things on ice. Need to find some new tricks to score. There's always ways to improve and it's just 34 games played and 48 left.
"There's a lot of time to raise hands in the air. The scoring haven't gone anywhere, I can still do that. When few comes, then the ketchup bottle opens, says in self-confident ways."
Then he mentions a bit about Luoto that it's nice to have a same aged like minded guy. They have been watching tv, movies, etc.
Laine told at the beginning of the season that playstation doesn't go with him in non-home games and playing at home has been not been so much either.
"I've took a lot of time away drasticly. I don't play not much anymore. Days off, once a while hour or two, but not much like ealier. I've been trying to do something more reasonable.
And ends the article by saying about Luoto that is nice. Ain't kicking him out.
Hope someone liked this, it isn't anything quite knew but decided to quick translate it. Took more time than I realised, but oh well... And rounded up, didn't translate it word for word, just like... you know, what was said.
If someone wants to read it in Finnish:
Patrik Laine mellastaa jo nyt ennätystahdissa NHL:ssä – varoittaa tulevasta: ”Sitten ketsuppipullo aukeaa”
