Naughty or nice? Patrik Laine’s comments about the Blue Jackets’ losing culture sparks outrage!

As a Blue Jackets fan I think his comments were bullsh*t excuses. CBJ has had many challenges. And I think when things look bleak they might give up a bit. But they try with the circumstances they have. Laine blamed the locker room too. That offended the people that thought of him as a friend. The Habs coach pulled him because he was getting a little roughed up. What did he think would happen after his comments?! He's had a rough time with his father and his mental health but he was out of line. He's kind of acting like PLD & he's lost the fans he had in Columbus now. He's injured a lot. I'm glad he's gone. Great video as always ❤.

I just don’t know how he could word it this way and expect for everything to be ok. I know things have reportedly been bad in the locker room for a little while, but there’s no way he could throw the whole team under the bus. Now if he said it’s only certain guys that are a problem, it’s better. But he managed to burn the bridge with Columbus. He and PLD are certainly interesting cases where they both didn’t work out in a market.
