Earlier today at a press conference, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis confirmed the circulating rumors about Patrik Laine.
For the past few weeks, rumors have suggested that Laine spent most of his summer on the ice in Brossard, sometimes even late at night with Ivan Demidov.
We've had some footage and confirmations, notably thanks to the excellent work of Pat Hockey and "Frank Well Le Podcast Hockey," but now Martin St. Louis has confirmed it himself:
Patrik Laine worked extremely hard this summer.
So the impression we had was not wrong.
Martin St. Louis confirms that Patrik Laine gave it his all this summer and that we should see the best version of Laine this season
What excellent news!
"I think we haven't yet seen the true version of Patty, due to everything that happened [in the past few years and before he arrived in Montreal], but now he comes here familiar with us, understanding how things are done in Montreal.
It's no longer a new city for him.
I'm so excited about all the work he has done this summer."
