After the frightening injury suffered by Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine, head coach Martin St-Louis was asked for an update.
When questioned by reporters, St-Louis couldn't confirm or deny anything at the moment, but he responded that he remains hopeful it isn't too serious.
Injury suffered by Patrik Laine: Martin St-Louis remains hopeful
We must hold onto this hope.
Speaking of hope, let's recall that a doctor has weighed in on the possibility of Patrik Laine's absence:
Dr. Harjas Grewal mentions the possibility of a meniscus tear (1 to 4 months out), the possibility of an ACL tear (season over), but doesn't rule out the possibility of a bone bruise (a few weeks out).
The goal here is not to give false hope, but simply to share the observations of a real doctor.
In short, the head coach of the Canadiens also added this when asked about the need to respond to such an incident (as a team).
