Patrik Laine makes a first public appearance and sends a clear message to Canadiens fans
The Montreal Canadiens' new acquisition, Patrik Laine, is at a press conference.
He started in the best way possible, with a heartfelt "Bonjour!" directed at Montreal Canadiens fans.
Laine also mentioned that he was very happy to meet Martin St-Louis, Kent Hughes, and Jeff Gorton over the weekend, but that he really didn't need to be "convinced."
He was already convinced that he wanted to play for the Montreal Canadiens, and he wants to win a Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens. We love it.

We already love him.
"Patrik Laine says there wasn't much needed to convince him to come to Montreal; he has experience in Canada from his time in Winnipeg, and he believes Montreal is the biggest hockey market, which is what he wants."

He really emphasized that he never had any doubts and has always wanted to play hockey in Montreal.
