Is that the same guy who clowns were saying was going to be better than Matthews? lol

It’s wild how much those sticks can take. Was sitting row A the other day, watched a slap shot deflect off a stick. Went from a 180 degree normal straight stick to like 90 degrees off the puck.

Well Johnny Hockey appears to have gone the way of Johnny Football? Columbus is cursed it seems.

He plays too many video games. Seriously look it up.

Look how they massacred my boi.

They are forcing an offensive minded winger to play center like what do they expect?

Too early too much. For Patty you, can see there is No passion.

He’s mad he doesn’t have the same gaming chair as those fuckers in Boston

He just found out nobody drafted him in their pool this year

A world class shot is not enough if you can’t skate and find open ice.
KarvaRanne
Well there aint no big buf feeding him with passes on power play.
Magmomies
His crypto just took a dive

Babcock woulda whipped him into game shape mentally /s
shieldwolfchz
His stats aren’t actually that bad from previous years 20 odd goals over 60odd games is nothing to sneeze at, especially for being on Columbus. Bring injured for 20 games a year will hamper production especially for someone like Laine who is often extremely streaky.
Edit: he has only played 55/56 games in the last 2 years, so he averages 1/2 a goal per game.

You’re just mashing it now

Remember when people argued about this guy being better than Matthews.
Rance_Mulliniks
From the weakness he shows trying to break a stick, he may be stuck in a room somewhere by himself and he isn’t strong enough to open the door to get out.

Imagine he took a bridge deal in winnipeg instead of going for big bucks. Guy might have some confidence left.

Dude almost got put on IR again trying to break his own twig.

Here’s a young man who never had to pay for his hockey stick.

I mean, its Columbus. This was expected.

He has a future in construction or destruction.
Old_Beyond3256
he’s playing in the 1C slot which makes no sense
hambningwillsveurlfe
He actually got hurt doing this… out 6-8 weeks
On_Some_Wavelength
He left Winnipeg, that idiot.

Him and Johnny are shells of their former selves. But at least Johnny’s wife is happy. On a serious note, hope Guy Gaudreau is okay

The mire of Columbus coaching.
Watch the last three minutes of last nights game against coyotes. Cbj looked like a team with some competence. It showed because they wholly disregarded and abandoned their system that they use game in and game out, including that game up until that point.
Had they played with that much speed and overlap in the first two periods, it would’ve been a blowout.
Instead they tried to score wrap arounds for 2.5 periods like it’s nhl22.
First there was torts, noted offensive juggernaut. Followed by torts2.0 who somehow had worse offense, and truly massively worse defensive structure.
Followed by coach of the future, torts3.0 who has doubled down on torts2.0 directives.
Cant make this shit up. Make the skilled guys grind. Don’t go after the grinders though. Go after the 5’7” 155lb skilled guy. And ask him to go chew up time along the boards.
Wonder why it’s ineffective.
Complain about results.
Cbj coaching for a decade now.

Great player on a shitty team with an even more shit coach

As somebody who took him a little higher than I should hoping this guy would rebound this year in my hockey pool. I share his frustrations… he has sucked (injuries aside)
dojo2020
The ultimate One trick pony. Not a great skater. Terrible passer and really doesn’t know how to play without the puck. Sad that he was really rated that high by Junior scouts. That shot is lethal but he needs a set up (or great passer) like he had with Schiefle in Winnipeg. Sad he was picked so high. But The Jets knew he was never a complete player. Very overrated by NHL central scouting and Teams. He fell into The Jets hands unexpectedly and they got rid of him quickly due to a TERRIBLE ATTITUDE. These players are gone before you blink your eyes.

He should never have wanted out of Winnipeg.
PaleAdagio3377
The city of Columbus and all of their fans absolutely deserve better. Johnny exploited them, thinking he could cash in, not produce and hideout.

Laine: “Coach, give me a new stick.”
Coach: “Is that one broken?”
Laine: “No, but I want a new one.”
Coach: “Sticks don’t grow on trees anymore, the stick you have is just fine.”
Laine: “Oh yeah, check this out… wait… check th-.. hold on a second… Arrrgggh… this fucking thing… ARRRRRR, ok yeah, see it’s broken.”
