Player Discussion: Patrik Laine - MOD WARNING IN OP

[Ducky10]

Crazy good! Two, two, two toe-drags in one!

That was f***ing ridiculous. Completely effortless as well.

 

[Ducky10]

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.

Exactly this, his burst is night and day from the first half, he's attacking from so many more places.

I could get used to watching this for the next 15 years!! So much confidence.

That is just stupid insanely good. I love watching his progression. Every month or so he seems to hit a higher level of skill/confidence.

..... just in time for the playoffs

 

[Howard Chuck]

I've watched this for about 5 mins straight....

Yep. I thought the same thing. He's really bearing down and getting on his horse...

He is becoming an insanely talented player right before our eyes.

 

[Ippenator]

He was already an insanely talented player before. What is now happening is a combination of many things going right for him at the moment. Legs and body finally getting adjusted to his hard summer training (main focus was exactly explosiveness to leg muscles and better stamina), getting more suitable linemates to play with, getting more experience of which things work and which don’t work in the NHL and finally getting the always extremely important confidence for a young player, through getting all these things happening that support a young talent to get on a roll.

We, whom have seen Laine play a lot of games in Liiga and for the Finnish national teams, have known already for a few years that he is an INSANELY talented individual. And even still despite of that, he has so far mostly even exceeded the expectations that I have had on him as a massive fan of his talent.

Laine's body is catching up to his mind and skill. Luvvit.

Look, I love Scheifele, but I had to change my avatar for a bit. I bet he's browsing hf

How could you...........

Here's a longer Gif where you can also see it in full speed. (And Saad failing again when he tries to bully Laine in front of the net)

Yes, Laine was in perfect position in case that was a pass instead of a shot. Either way that was going in the net

 

[Maukkis]

Let's have a moment of silence for Saad's career. A big old Finnish bloke came and ended it.

 

[Blue Shakehead]

Laine has always been a nuclear weapon, but he's been skating so much better since February. I guess it took him awhile to get his legs because of all the Rocky IV training they do in Finland where they just box frozen meat carcasses all summer.

Yeah well no one likes being humiliated like THAT.

Alrighty then

 

[PhilJets]

Hope when the team locks up 2nd place.
Coach Pau helps Laine to break some more records.

This season is quietly is one for the ages.

Laine’s record-setting teenage point streak might not be last milestone for sophomore sniper | The Hockey News

Last yeaf during latter part of the year when teaM was out of it, i thought Mau could have pushed it more to maximize Laine chance of winning the Calder.
Though ofcourse at the end of the day its the player that needs to push the cart. The last 15 games killwd Laine's chance of winning it.

Anyways go jets go.

Yup he’s feeling it now and starting to get it. His confidence is much higher and that is making the world of difference. He is reading the game better and just reacting without thinking now.

That right there is a proper Dipsie-Doodle. Dipsie obviously at the start and theeeeen that sweet doodle at the end

Patrik Laine’s scoring streak elevates Jets — ‘It just feels like the things are going the right way’

 

[PhilJets]

I'm not expecting Laine to score 70 goals in a year, as there are too many factors involve.

But i'm waiting for Laine to score 5 GOALS in a GAME.

Someone will be very happy if he did that....

 

[Tommigun]

He’s shit. His goal scoring streak ended at a mere seven games or so.

 

[Insthofen]

A short clip from few months back. Laine dings the post, but it's the Boston commentators that give me chuckles.

It would be impossible to score 70 in today's scoring climate. If they ever call PP's like they should it's for sure doable.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Laine's nickname, at least in my book is - Seek & Destroy!
