The tone of some of the attacks on Patrik Laine really bothers me. No, he's not a complete, 200-foot player. And sometimes the effort isn't there.
But there are all kinds of hard-working grinders who don't possess that lethal shot. Shot blockers are a dime a dozen. Snipers aren't.

People like the goals, but not the warts.
As Jack mentioned, Laine isn’t slow, big men always look slower regardless, even Mario Lemieux looked slow. But, with Newhook, neither line-mates are as fast.
He's a specialist who brings value if used judiciously.
they get Laine...
now they bitch whine and moan about his deficiencies.
same people would complain about not winning 11 million if they just won 10.
social media is a large bag of ass.
My feeling is that Kent H and his team listen to the fans but stick to their plan.
Mtl has always had impatient (suc: irrational) fans.
Geez, they wanted to fire Scotty during the 8 loss season. I mean, c'mon. Really??
You probably recall how the '86 playoffs ended.
I don't think it's going to change anytime soon.
Be well.
It’s not totally on him but being on a line with Newhook, who I love, and an obviously out of his depth Roy is not a recipe for success
Fans would be fools not to love him! 🤩
