Laine seems pretty upset with the handling of his benching. You have to wonder why he was benched when trying to return from an injury AND playing a position he doesn’t normally while Johnny consistently underperforms game after game.

Play better then(?) Sounds harsh given his injury earlier but at some point these players have to own these results. I’m sick of watching losing hockey. This team has plenty of talent to be much more competitive.

I was blind sided by how shitty this team looks. They have 1 more win than San Jose

Not seeing a lot of ownership here over playing badly.
Edit: yikes I just read the entire athletic article. Laine kind of sounds like a brat tbh. When Johnny got benched he had a good attitude about it, said “wasn’t the first time, hopefully will be my last, but the reality is I need to play harder and be better”
Laine is going off about how unfair it is and how it’s not even beneficial and he knows he isn’t playing well but — honestly it’s not a good look for him.
Elvis is a massive diva and I even think he handled riding the pine last year a lot better than this, even if he sounded like a broken record, he still admitted he was playing horribly.

Most embarrassing thing that’s happened to him?
Has he forgotten that he one timed a puck into his own net before?

Anyone going to talk about how he said during the same interview that he appreciates that everyone can be held accountable?

Remeber that he was Patty’s Coach in Winnepeg and knows him pretty well. I wouldn’t worry about it. If we are on a win streak and Patty is on a point streak and gets benched, then we can act surprised.

He has 1 hit recorded this season. 1. He plays soft, and I hate it.
