Laine looks mean in that picture. Is Laine a mean boi?
Maybe he told him about World Cup 2016.I like when he did the drive by beside the net and chirped something at Rinne when he was down. I'd love to know what he said, Rinne seemed to whip his head around pretty quickly.
This is amazing. IIRC it was during the play. D had the puck behind the net.
I always here people flacking Laine for being shorter than 6’5”... Rinne is apparently 6’5” as well, Laine looks like he’s farther away and atleast 2 inches taller too with a hunched back... I think it’s fair to assume he actually is 6’5”.
Well you have to take into account that player skates are different than goalie skates, giving him atleast an extra inch, and on top of that Rinne is standing with his legs spread there. Bad picture to use when making a judgement on height...
Great share ! Here is a link to the original article in the Chicago Tribune.Patrik Laine's goals according Finnish tabloid Iltasanomat: Chicagon supertähti Jonathan Toews tutki tilastoja ja hämmästyi – tässä asiassa Patrik Laine eroaa kaikista muista
Blue = wrist shot
Green = one-timer/slap shot
Ring around a dot = power play goal
Violet square = deflection
(2) Empty-netters doesn't included to the chart
The Finnish article is partial translation/similar to this article: Patrik Laine, the Jets' teen scoring sensation, impresses Blackhawks
Crazy good! Two, two, two toe-drags in one!

Made me so nervous seeing that in the D zone, but what a result!
That is filthy. During the game Patrik showed some great stickhandling skills on a few other plays as well, e.g. when he kept the inside the blue line while fighting of a check. He really seems to have leveled up and play with a lot more confidence in tight quarters. The timing couldn't be better with the play offs just around the corner
What impressed me was his explosive first stride last night. He is separating himself from other players now carrying the puck. That wasn't happening earlier in the season.
