We just witnessed a fantastic moment, live from the Bell Centre.

During the presentation of the 2024-2025 Montreal Canadiens players, even though he is injured, forward Patrik Laine was introduced to the crowd, and the crowd had an absolutely phenomenal reaction.

What a welcome for Laine at the Bell Centre!

A Massive Ovation for Forward Patrik Laine

Yes, the fans have embraced him, and the fans love him. See for yourself:

This was very well said by journalist Anthony Marcotte:

Martin St-Louis also received a lot of love from the fans:

We are so happy for Patrik Laine. This will surely give him a huge boost of motivation and provide great comfort in his decision to choose the Montreal Canadiens.

We can't wait to see him back on the ice, and we wish him a good and speedy recovery.

Let's remember that, according to the official statement from the Montreal Canadiens organization, Laine is expected to return to play in 2 to 3 months.

At 26 years old, Patrik Laine recorded 9 points in 18 games last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, and he has accumulated 388 points (204 goals) in 480 career games in the National Hockey League.

He was acquired via trade by Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens in August.
