  1. Question for Ian.

    Why do you like Patrick Laine so much? I find him such an incredibly frustrating player to watch and cheer for. His lack of a 200 foot game, his 6'5 frame but almost zero physical play, feels like a one trick pony with his shot from the power play.

    While "I just do" is an acceptable answer, hoping you could explain more.

  2. The Lane Hutson thing is hilarious.

    Hope that will motivate him to play out of his skin for us, get well rested and kind of ignore the US.

    US Olympics committee calls – don’t pick up. Hockey in Montreal is bigger than any Olympic showcase.

  3. Trivia: I'll guess Cammalleri again.

    Mailbag: do you think Pascal Vincent will remain with the Rocket all season? Or if an NHL team comes calling for a mid season coaching change, will the Habs block him from interviewing?

    Also please put me in for the Jackeye photo. My wife thinks he looks like Ernest Hemingway on skates. She's a big fan of him in particular… lol
