A significant injury for Patrik Laine
Once again, it's not the surprise of the century, but yes, we are talking about a serious injury here, and unfortunately, we likely won't see Patrik Laine back in uniform anytime soon.
This morning, the Finnish forward showed up in Brossard to attend practice, and his knee still appeared to be in very bad shape.

In short, we continue to keep a very close eye on this situation for you.
When Kirby Dach suffered a serious knee injury nearly a year ago to the day, the Montreal Canadiens made an official and complete announcement the Tuesday following the injury (which also occurred on a Saturday).
So we expect to have a definitive answer tomorrow, or later today, but it's good to see that the organization is taking its time with this case.
Details will follow.
We continue to send positive vibes to Patrik Laine and David Reinbacher, who must be as (if not more) disappointed than all of us by the unfortunate turn of events for them.
As for Reinbacher, this situation is becoming worrisome for his development
