When You Instantly Make Your Team Better..

[@SwaminarayanSarvopariBhagwan]

No matter which team you support, you just gotta be happy for Laine

[@HockeyJunkie]

Absolutely

[@shaman2384]

It's a feelsgood story. If you are hockey player you must be able to play and not be injured or dead.

[@krymz1]

his return was pretty epic too, it wasn't just "oh btw laine is playing tonight, he's back from injury", he had massive ovations, interview and stuff, the guy looked shook.

[@tyedruken9233]

Absolutely, fortnite addiction is no joke

[@CJH-zx3cp]

Not at all. He was in a great situation in Winnipeg but wanted to play video games more than practice, then complained he wasn't gifted a spot on the 1st line and forced a trade. This is from a one-dimensional winger who managed to score 40 goals all of one time.

[@Taylod1]

Laine shot is incredible. Great to see the boys having fun

[@mikey._.33]

and he's only 26, a year and 4 months older than Suzuki. Crazy to think we got a 2nd with him.

[@bramlackman-mincoff6616]

Looks the same as the first goal he scored too

[@jonathanf99]

Laine and Hutson - Hope they become the best of friends too, with great set-up passes like that!

[@Zaofieb]

Hahaha, thank you!

He's already in Finland mode. What a gem from you.

[@SirDangalot]

I loved watching the Canadians before Patrick came aboard, and I love them even more now! Such a fun team to watch.

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

Laine's goal looked fast in slo-motion

[@madmitten5]

I had no idea Laine was so massive. Looks like Tim Kerr out there.

[@JudyPitcher]

Laine 6'5", Dach 6'4" and the little guy Slaf at 6'3".

[@centerhice7948]

Great vid Matt totally agree. Laine thank God has given our team some life

[@kristofpiersa6265]

Laine keeps firing these pucks I can not see em even in slow mo replies. 😂

[@Junglersaredelusional]

Evans is so underrated 😫

[@JudyPitcher]

Love our Jakey, he's the new King of the Shorties.

[@jeddysteve8330]

Laine reminds me of PK Subban in the way his play is influenced by emotion. Subban was more outgoing and prone to bursts of anger, but their confidence and mental state play such a massive role in how well they can play. Both are capable of being genuine difference makers, but can also end up in slumps when the confidence is low. I really hope Laine continues to find his footing in Montreal because the hockey world has forgotten that this guy can be a point per game 40-50 goal scorer.

[@Tlilancalqui]

And MTL loves a guy who can play with some passion

[@lancemullins3498]

As a Habs fan from Newfoundland, man do I love these videos. Thx Junkie

[@NineBunbun-z4q]

As a Newfoundlander Habs fan in Europe, it's my favorite dose of home with some hockey

[@schof1262]

Laine brings that umph factor i feel we been missing last couple of years, gets the building going with just a touch of the puck

[@Pedro.dh10]

Great to see Patty lightin' dat lamp. He adds a deadly feature to the top 6. He wont help keep the puck out of the Habs twine , though, he can be a liability on D. He's gotten better. He will stand up for team mates and he will smoke the odd dude hard into the boards. You missed it in the Laine highlights, he threw a beauty last night. He's sneaky tough. Dylan Larkin is still out of breath from when Laine caught him behind the net with a legal shoulder in the WC years ago. Larkin ran him for years after, I watched for it the first time the Jets played Detroit with Laine in the lineup. If you ever wondered why the mild mannered Larkin had a thing for Laine, that is why. He nearly knocked him out cold.

[@steadyAF]

Lane to Laine all day everyday. Ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole

[@rivality100]

I am so happy for Laine. I've always seen potential in him when he played for the Jets. It's sad that he's had a lot of mental problems and injuries, but at his best he's really dangerous in the right role. I think the blue jackets didn't know how to take advantage of this. I wish him nothing but the best. I think he has received too much criticism and hatred, at least in Finland

[@learnthesystem6622]

As a Wpg Jets fan I really do miss Patrik Laine. I will never forget when he scored 5 goals against the Blues! I wish him all the best and can't wait to see him at home again in Wpg next Saturday

[@GuillaumeRouleau]

Why do teams stop loving him? It will probably happen in MTL eventually.

[@anttijappinen]

Bcz he has a big ego. ​@@GuillaumeRouleau

[@GuillaumeRouleau]

@anttijappinen Can you give an example of something he did that pissed you off? I'm curious...For now in Montreal he seems to have his ego under control, he seems pretty humble so far.

[@saitzo2325]

He was the reason for blues to win the cup, coach fired etc -> started to win

[@anttijappinen]

@@GuillaumeRouleau Nothingf to piss ME off, but I don't think he was the best team player, for sure he has changed and grown up now. When life gives tou lemons, you usually start to handle things more maturaly. But when you are the player who shows throat cutting signs to your coach when he doesn't let you play, tells pretty much... (He was probably 15 or 16 at that time). But as I said, he has grown, and I hope he finds a home in Montreal and gets everything thats good!

[@Timmy4231]

[@jibberjabberr]

Im actually enjoying watching the Habs play again

[@JapaneseAmericanaJiuJitsu]

The one guy I really wanted my Sharks to make a legitimate run at… happy that he’s doing well in Montreal

[@hilihali3552]

if Laine stay healthy, he will make some season records! WB!

[@bounty1nuk277]

Love that "Nunavut" pun. Thats where im from bud

[@HockeyJunkie]

Cheers bud!!

[@jacp5628]

I just realized what they're doing with that first unit powerplay setup. Hutson is QB-ing from the right wall. Suzuki is the last man back with a lethal shot. Laine and Caufield are high and low left wall shooting options. Slafkovksky is the big slot man for puck retrieval, screening, and shooting when goalies cheat to Laine or Caufield. This is a 5 forward power play unit with the only defenseman playing as a right winger. Its like a southpaw power play. I know it was just moved around with Suzuki keeping the puck onside at the line just prior to the goal, but this should be a common setup for these 5. Caufield and Laine are both on their strong-side, Suzuki is defensively competent enough to play at the defenseman's spot, this might be a hell of a unit soon. Its wildly unorthodox and therefore unpredictable. This is the power play we've desired for YEARS.

[@joethelefty]

it is mind-boggling that laine's first game was the first time marty st louis has had a full lineup with nobody out with injuries.

[@rickdevine4150]

This is a totally different team with Laine. Everyone else gains confidence. And that power play, who does the opposition focus on Liane or Goal Caulfield ? Monty is more confident right now he’s on fire . They most likely won’t win any awards this season but super fun to watch ! More pieces will be coming stick with the process and the results will follow. ❤

[@Effigyy]

gotta be happy for both mario and patrik

[@littledittymusic727]

Great video!

[@laurencelafrance5235]

Go Team Finland!!! Laine & Armia both scoring!

[@f9w99]

Laine has always been elite. Just unlucky with injuries and shitty teammates. A guy like him gives the habs that extra motivation when things don’t go right, you know he might mix it up with a superstar goal to get it going.

[@m3talvinc3]

Evans is a penalty kill machine💪

[@HockeyJunkie]

Indeed he is

[@ferociousfil5747]

Him and Mario are great killers

[@williamprevost_]

3:04 Nunavut LOL

[@Kariakas]

Nice game by the Habs but the Preds seem to be a mess defensively.

[@austyn307]

Looking forward to the inevitable Caufield - Suzuki - Laine experiment, its gonna be deadly. Lots of chemistry there, Laine seems to make so much space for everyone.

[@juhomantynen4638]

The only problem there would be making the team too top heavy. Caufield is already a goal scorer and Suzuki isn't a slouch either. They should try it, but I'm afraid it could hurt the team overall.

[@amnesiacsardine]

I just burst out laughing every time I see Ribero fake dying in the blurry background at the end lmao

[@HockeyJunkie]

Me too actually, when I was making that montage last week I was laughing as I was doing it. The Mike Hoffman falling clip is poked away in hte background of the outro as well, which is another classic lol

[@cmpaintball131]

Iv watched every game this season and I can tell you there just seems to be a difference in the way the whole team is playing. Monty is doing super well & Laine has scored two goals in the last two games and every game Laine scores the habs seem to win so far its nice to see the team I love so much playing some great hockey & it would be a damn shame if montreal got rid of Laine considering all he needed was a team and a fan base to believe in him again to do well and he's got that and more in montreal

[@Babstock08]

They played a solid game against the Rangers, a decent game against Boston (especially if you take away those 3 goals in 2 minutes) and good game against the Islanders and another good game here. Their PK is top 3 in the league and their PP is middle of the pack and that was before Laine's return. They're still making a few egregious errors in their own end per game but they're improving and we need to be patient, despite what some of the more fanatical media and fans would have you think. They seemed to have turned the corner regarding their overall play and are at least in the mix every game now. Their special teams last year were terrible and this year they're between good and awesome. I think by the end of the year MSL will have their 5v5 play sorted out (and it looks like it's getting there in the second quarter so far). Ole Two turds race down a drain... 🤦‍♂

[@JustChillingNahhhhMean]

Great video, my brain is just getting a bit tired to hear that same background track over and over again, it makes it hard to focus cause it's telling me that it's always the same video, but hey, maybe that's just me, i do have mental issues haha Go Habs Go!

[@lee-x5o]

It looks crazy when he shoots like doesn't even look hard but suddenly it's back of the net.

[@thenextpoetician6328]

It's a good start. Plenty of games to go.

[@DudleyDoright-ru2ch]

The term 'impact player' certainly fits Laine.

[@Dire-wuulf]

You can see it so much, they love this feeling. Hold onto that boys, keep it rolling. Also, do you know if Miraj Trading ships with Canada Post or?

[@TheFlamingPike]

It's the Kovalev or Radulov effect all over again and I'm ready for it! 😁 On a side note, both the USA and Canada built their 4 Nations team in very questionable ways. How can the US completely disregard their best goal scorer ( Caufield )? At least put the guy on the 4th line and use him on the 2nd powerplay wave, or TO THE VERY LEAST use him as a cheerleader on the bench, geez! But Canada built their team worst, I have a very bad feeling about it. It reminds me of the Nagano olympics teams. Did they realize the 4 Nations tournament is mostly a huge NHL ad? Because why didn't they add Bedard? They could've put Crosby, McDavid and Bedard on the same line just for one shift, kinda like what happened with Gretzky and Lemieux when they played together, and make the whole thing go viral worldwide!! Past, present and future playing together!! It was a no brainer!!!

[@leperlord7078]

"How can the US completely disregard their best goal scorer ( Caufield )? " That would be Matthews Not a personal bias,or even a leafs fan Numbers speak for themselves

[@TheFlamingPike]

@@leperlord7078 Huh, not this season friend. Cole Caufield is the #1 goal scorer from the USA in 2024.

[@MAM11234]

I hate the leafs but you do know mattews is out with injury this sesson right? Can’t compare stats of a injured player to one that played all matches

[@TheFlamingPike]

@@MAM11234 In any case, you guys have an invalid argument because Matthews and Caufield don't play the same position, neither do they shoot from the same side, so they could very well play in the same team and on the same line should things come to that. Even if you think Matthews is #1, Caufield IS #2 for sure... So yeah... Why not include him on that team? That is the real question.

[@MAM11234]

@ that is very true, my point wasn’t to argue that caufield had no place on the them cause i think he should have but rather that has much has i love him I don’t think he is a better scorer than mattews, that being said i take a caufield over a mattews for a game 7 stanley cup final any time

[@Uniquegoalhorns]

Just know when the Canadians visit the American airlines center its gonna be a blow out buddy 😂

[@johnjoy423]

The boys are play good the pass 2 games , we finally got 2 dangerous lines , finally

[@chrislaverick6413]

There are very few people in the league that can shoot a pot like Patrick laine, I would argue that he’s top three for hardest wrist shot

[@MrSh4des]

I think if you put any star on montreal they would do really well. Overall they're a good team just need that extra ingredient.

[@isaacrice7165]

No longer seeing dvorak and gally on the second laine is the reason we can win more, we now have a top 6

[@patgirwar1543]

Dach and Slaf are doing nothing right now. So top 6 is still weak imo.

[@isaacrice7165]

@ slaf is suppose to be playing with caufield and Suzuki, got sent to second line for no reason after injury and dach hasn’t played in a year they’ll find there chemistry

The honeymoon period How many of these have we had? A number one pick(who thought he was better than Matthews. He is not) who has been moved to how many teams? When you are a number one pick being moved(unwanted/unwelcome) that many times and we are fantasizing that the beautiful La Belle Province was what he needed all this time? He cannot keep the puck out of the net(and he is not a defensive player), he will need to score way more to keep up with the lack of goaltending we have. And weak defense most nights. But let's enjoy the honeymoon shall we
