Montreal

”Weather You could have taken a few of these mothers, ” Patrik Laine laughed at the sitting next to Nikolas for Matinpalo Seeing how much media had accumulated around his interview point.

On Tuesday, the media event at the Montreal Center Bell’s Uumen was not really unclear who is the most interesting character of the Finnish team. Not only all the Finnish media, but also numerous North American media, gathered around Laine.

According to Montreal journalists, the waves have been exceptionally widely accessible in the Canadiens and has not been able to interview him very rarely.

Also at the Lions’ media event on Tuesday, the NHL’s PR-Vääki made an exceptional decision with Laine and interrupted his interview at about ten minutes, even if there were plenty of questions. The other Lions players sat for a long time without interruption if there were only plenty of questioners.

Laine26, plays in the NHL for the ninth time. During the NHL career, he has never been seen before on the national team. The last time was the Autumn 2016 World Cup.

“It’s great to pull this shirt over. It’s been a while since I last played on the national team. It’s great to be able to play with old friends, ”Laine says.

Laine’s current season has accommodated a variety of stages. It started with a sick knee injury jacket, but after that, the Tampere -based rushed into the Montreal Canadiens. The net was overwhelmingly overwhelmed.

Recently, the tone has turned to the opposite again. Laine has played eight matches in the tube without power points without power points, which already touches on the most chilling tube of his NHL career. In recent weeks, Laine’s responsibility has narrowed in Montreal at the four -chain level, just over ten minutes in the evening.

Montreal journalists, in particular, made comments from Laine about recent treatment.

“Would I like to be more on the ice? Of course, who wouldn’t want to. I don’t want to bite it deeper into this, but when you play ten minutes in the evening, it’s challenging when you are used to greater responsibility. But I still try to do my best. ”

“I may not have managed to do so as I should. So I understand why I haven’t been able to play so much. But at this point you also have to look in the mirror. ”

In the lion All in all, Laine will have a significantly higher responsibility than recently. He was practicing in the second chain on Tuesday Sebastian Ahon and Roope Hintzin alongside. As expected, Laine’s place was also in number one.

“This is a good turning point now to get back self -confidence and turn the season direction.”

“It is definitely easier if I get more on the ice. In recent weeks it has been quite limited. There will probably be more responsibility here, ”Laine continued, throwing a small spike in the direction of the Canadiens.

Laine and Aho are remembered as chain friends for the 2016 Golden World Championships. The same team also included Hintz.

“It’s been nine years, so I don’t know if it would carry it anymore,” Laine laughed when she was asked about the past years with Aho.

“But good players always find ways to play with others. I don’t think this is going to be a problem. Roope on the other side. He has the ability to fly and create situations. I’m just trying to stay out of the way. Here are good blanks. ”

Material On behalf of Finland, Finland goes to the tournament as a clear challenge, at least compared to Canada and the United States. According to Laine, the Lions approach matches ahead of the defense.

“We are going to defend closely as a team. We try to be a team that is really hard to play. Finland has achieved a lot of success over the last decade, so why change. ”

“We try to play as a five and be, not super -defending now, but all the time awake. Closely defending. Probably small matches are coming, but it doesn’t matter as long as we win, ”Laine said.
