Patrick Laine (18!) scores his second career hat trick in his 14th career game!

[xxxx]

Wow. Just unbelievable. He's 18, guys. 18 years old.

• He has 11 goals in 14 games right now, two hat tricks already in his NHL career.
• He also got an assist and has 4 points.
• He leads the NHL in goals.

Spoke to Laine after the game. Asked him about being on the same goal pace as Selanne.

Stud.

Unreal

 

[Frosty415]

better than Matthews, should've gone number 1

 

[Kelly]

Yeah he's pretty good.

better than Matthews, should've gone number 1

lol

 

[umwoz]

Him and Scheifele are magic together.

 

[bustamente]

The most complete rookie in the league.

 

[Hunter368]

Crazy good. Elite player at 18 years old.

 

[Cheapshot]

People are having a hard time stopping this rookie. Looks pretty darn good in the offensive zone.

 

[Gnova]

He's also been throwing his body around as well, not one dimensional by any stretch.

 

[FLYLine27*]

He is a good hockey player.

 

[Taak19]

Love seeing snipers break into the league. Great work so far.

better than Matthews, should've gone number 1

But glad he didn't

 

[DucksFanDFW]

I was really hoping he would lay Roussel out...

 

[authentic]

I know it's early, but has there ever been an 18 year old that started off his career this good? I know some will say Crosby, but he didn't have this many points or even goals in his first 14 games at a much higher scoring time.

 

[CanuckGame39]

He's a ****ing stud. Congrats jets fans. Last draft lottery I was hoping for the Canucks to get 2nd overall pick.

He's gunning for Selannes record!

 

[amnesiac]

hes coming for YOU , Ovie!

 

[ChickenBurrito]

The next ovechkin

 

[SenzZen]

I don't want to take anything away from Laine because he's phenomenal- but can I just say that that's vintage Stars D on display?

 

[Subbaman]

He's unbelievable

 

[SnoopDogg]

Yeah this kid is good, I really undervalued him.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Laine >> Matthews

 

[Spazkat]

I just love this kid. I would never in a million years envisioned a scenario where I owned a Jets jersey, but I think it's probably going to happen.

 

[MardyBum]

Has insane chemistry with Scheif and Ehlers. Ridiculous.

 

[Master Scheif]

Laine >> Matthews

Why can't we just enjoy things without it being a competition?

Laine is a beast, anyways. I wonder how many goals he gets this year.
