Analyst Suggests Power Play Shake-Up Involving Patrik Laine and Cole Caufield
An interesting proposal involving Patrik Laine and Cole Caufield has indeed been submitted on BPM Sports. After an absolutely extraordinary stretch, things have been much more difficult recently for Patrik Laine, and the Canadiens' power play has also been struggling.
In an attempt to shake things up a little, an interesting proposal was made during Georges Laraque's show.
It could help Caufield and send a small message to Laine.
Stéphane Gonzalez proposes swapping Patrik Laine with Cole Caufield on the Canadiens' power play, and Georges Laraque absolutely agrees
Here's the key part of his statement.
«For me, I would already give it to Caufield right now (the spot in the office on the Canadiens' first power-play unit).
The power play is meant to reward players who work hard and give it their all!
I understand that Laine, at the moment, is only useful in power-play situations, but even that isn't working anymore.
You have a guy who is always cheating to his side to prevent him from shooting!
Caufield was clicking, he was on an incredible rhythm on the power play before Laine arrived and took his spot.
Laine doesn't put in the work that Caufield does, he doesn't deserve it.
I'm giving the power play back to Caufield, his office on the first unit, and I'm putting Laine on the second (unit).»
