The name Patrik Laine continues to stir the passions of Montreal Canadiens fans. Since his return to the game, he has had an immediate impact, especially on the power play, and he truly seems to have won the hearts of fans.
Let's hope he hasn't seriously re-injured himself on Monday, but that's another matter.
A Request from Stu Cowan for Patrik Laine
In terms of hockey, following recent games, it's quite evident that he's not currently placed in a favourable situation at 5-on-5, Laine even opened up about it earlier this week.
He is fully aware that he needs to be better at even strength, but to help him, his head coach could also give him a boost (specifically, new linemates).
»Head coach Martin St. Louis might soon want to think about giving Patrik Laine different linemates at five-on-five.
Kirby Dach has struggled all season and Alex Newhook has zero assists in 34 games this season. Laine needs guys who can get him the puck.
Stu Cowan
Kirby Dach has struggled all season and Alex Newhook has zero assists in 34 games this season. Laine needs guys who can get him the puck.
Stu Cowan
You read that right, Newhook has 0 assists in 34 games
We fully agree with Stu Cowan on this point.
Imagine if Laine dominated at 5-on-5 with a Nick Suzuki or a Jake Evans and continued to destroy on the power play..
He would become an incredible player for the Montreal Canadiens (as if he isn't already solid).
And if it were your decision, what would you do?
