Patrik Laine Criticizes His Performance Against Sabres Despite Scoring a Hat Trick
Montreal Canadiens forward, Patrik Laine, had a dream night on Tuesday at the Bell Centre, notably scoring a hat trick. After such a performance, it's highly unusual to see a player criticize himself so harshly during a press conference, but that's exactly what number 92 did after the game against the Buffalo Sabres.
This speaks volumes about his extremely competitive nature and the high standards he sets for himself.
After the game, during his press conference, he surprised everyone by being very critical of his own performance.
Patrik Laine believes he didn't really play a good game last night
Let's not forget, he scored three goals (and it could have been four).
In short, here's what he had to say after the match:
« I think overall, at least for myself, it was kind of an average game.
If you take away the goals, I've had a million times better games than that and had zero goals.
On the powerplay, it went in. Outside of that, I would call it a pretty average performance for myself today..»
Patrik Laine tonight after scoring a hat trick
For the full press conferences:
In conclusion, I'll say like the guys from HFTV...
If last night was an «ordinary» game for Patrik Laine, I can't wait to see what it'll be like when he has an excellent game.
Personally, I absolutely believe he can be proud of himself despite everything.
