The Players' Tribune: Winnipeg is Good by Patrik Laine

[end]

That ‘everyone is your neighbour’ thing seems great now, wait until there’s expectations. Suddenly every person on the street will be as cheerful and life affirming as a Toronto sports journalist.

I’m not even that old and I don’t know what the latter means.

You actually might be too young...

Either that or his Wi-Fi sucks

Patrik is a good guy with a great attitude and we are happy to have him here in Winnipeg.

The main goal in Winnipeg is to win as a team and to not worry about getting individual scoring titles that mean nothing.

Gospel.

 

[Ace of Hades]

This makes me appreciate Laine more since I'm also an avid gamer.

Goose pimples

Not sure if you're laughing at the terminology because you're only familiar with goose bumps, so I looked it up: goose pimples seems to be the British term, goose bumps is the North American term, goose flesh is the original term.

Knowledge is power.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

any team would be lucky to have him. he's a great player and seems like a great dude

Interesting. In Finnish we say 'kananlihalla', which is literally chicken flesh. No wonder Patrik was confused!

You calling me old!?

Pretty great article
Glad to have him on the team

Best Player’s Tribune article in a while.

No one *****ed about it. They were asked a dumb question and gave silly answers. The only one's who *****ed about anything were the Jets media and some of their fans.

That was unbelievably embarrassing. We live in such a sh***y world you can't joke about anything without anyone getting offended. Even in one of the interviews the guy was like, "Oh I'm supposed to say Winnipeg." Like god forbid we have some trash talking before the game. Such a sad society we live in that things like this have to stop.

Extra Laine vs Ehlers content

 

[hirawl]

Laine didn't write one word of this. Sorry to burst your bubbles.

You want NHL players write articles themselves? You like pain when you read?

Apparently he didn’t write any of it at all. He just had an interview/ they wrote it all. He hasn’t even read it lol

What a farce

 

[Garthinater]

Got Laine's autograph at the game last night! Was pretty cool to go on the ice and meet some of the players

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

"Best shooter - me, lol"

I don't know why, I laughed so hard at that line. Laine is a funny kid, I like his way of saying things.

 

[tony d]

Great to see this from Laine. I know Winnipeg gets a bit of flak because of the weather there but those fans are something else. Getting the NHL back to that city was such a great thing for sure.

 

[Hunter368]

Very hard to not like Laine, good kid. Very good sense of humour as well

 

[WillTheThrill]

You want NHL players write articles themselves? You like pain when you read?

It'd be way more genuine that's for sure.

 

[SoupaTroupa]

Isn't this the way all of these articles are written? Just because Laine admitted he didn't personally write it himself doesn't mean he didn't say those things.

I never heard “goose bumps” as a Winnipegger. Only “goose pimples”.

It’s based on what he said to an interviewer, so I don’t see what the problem is. English isn’t his first language so I don’t think he can be expected to write autobiographical articles and publish them without a ghost-writer’s help.

 

[Sansbacon]

That was a hilarious read Dude is ridiculously funny.

But... Battlefield >>>>> CoD

Wow i did not know that thank you for that information. But I’m sure he didn’t know that either.
