Patrik Laine Makes a Humbling Gesture Toward Captain Nick Suzuki in Front of Reporters
Since his arrival in Montreal, it's clear that forward Patrik Laine has a truly remarkable attitude.
He's a great person, and on top of that, he's visibly extremely humble.
Last night, all the attention was on him, especially after scoring his first goal in his first game with the Montreal Canadiens, leading to a special moment in the locker room after the game.
During the post-game press conferences, nearly 100% of the journalists went straight to Patrik Laine.
That's something you rarely see.
How did Laine react?
With complete humility, he simply pointed in Nick Suzuki's direction, signaling to the swarm of journalists, "Hey, guys. The game-winning goal scorer is right over there."
We love it! What an amazing leader reaction, wanting to give credit to Nick Suzuki and ensuring that his captain got the recognition he deserved.
Almost all the reporters head straight to Patrik Laine in the locker room after the game.
Patrik, pointing to Suzuki: «Hey, guys. The guy who scored the game-winner is right over there.»
He even repeated it a second time!
«We have the OT winner over there by the way too guys, great goal.»
I really feel like we're going to love this player, and I sense that the relationship between Patrik Laine and the Montreal Canadiens is going to last a long time.
Laine finished last night's game with 1 goal, 2 shots on net, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot, in just over 17 minutes of ice time.
Martin St. Louis' squad secured a 2-1 overtime victory against the New York Islanders and Patrick Roy.
