The excellent Priyanta Emrith has shed light on another piece of bad news received by Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine.
As you already know, in recent days, the Habs announced that Laine will unfortunately have to miss 3 to 4 months after undergoing surgery due to a sports hernia.
That said, not only is it obviously very bad news for Laine to learn that he'll have to miss so many games with his team, but there's something even worse...
Patrik Laine will have to give up on his Olympic dream
What a sad turn of events... He was so proud when he was informed that he had been selected for the preliminary roster to represent his country (Finland) at the upcoming Olympic Games!
Today, unless a small miracle happens, he'll have to say "goodbye" to the Olympics... which is no small thing, let's be honest!
It's incredible how unlucky his career has been.
"Can't help but feel for Patrik Laine who was approaching this year as a redemption season.
The timeline for his recovery will likely mean Laine will miss out on representing Finland at the Olympics in February as well."

The "good news," under the circumstances, is that despite all these setbacks, Laine seems to be in a good state of mind:
Despite this optimistic outlook, some truly believe that this could be the end for Laine in Montreal:
"Patrik Laine's future with Montreal is now in jeopardy after undergoing surgery that will keep him out 12-16 weeks."

"Patrik Laine may have played his last game with the Canadiens."
