MONTREAL— One phrase for seeing Patrik Laine mendacity on the ice on the Bell Centre, holding his knee in place after having it knocked in a course it’s not presupposed to go in: Devastating.
One take a look at this image brings one other phrase that begins with D to the amygdala.
Let’s keep on with the primary D-word.
It is totally devastating for Laine to have completed the second shift of simply his second recreation in a Montreal Canadiens uniform this manner. He arrived right here trying to rekindle his once-promising profession as an elite aim scorer after harm and a stint within the NHL/NHLPA Players’ Assistance Program restricted him to simply 18 video games with the Columbus Blue Jackets final season, and he didn’t even get the possibility to hold the puck greater than twice earlier than being carried off the ice on Saturday.
The extent of the devastation isn’t but clear, as Laine should cross by additional analysis earlier than an replace from the Canadiens is offered.
But you understand it’s by no means an excellent factor when a participant is actually wheeled from the locker room to the imaging room within the enviornment after which seen leaving the constructing on crutches and sporting a knee brace.
You may see simply how unhealthy it was after Laine’s left knee absorbed the total collision with Toronto’s Cédric Paré.

You may nearly really feel his ache as he launched his helmet and glove in frustration and winced whereas the trainers have been bringing him to the room.
To know that Laine was the second Canadiens participant to be on condition that remedy not even 5 minutes into this meaningless 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs makes it inconceivable to disregard the potential for the devastation skilled by the crew over the past three seasons to be prolonged into this marketing campaign.
It was ominous when David Reinbacher—the fifth-overall number of the membership in 2023—jammed his ankle into the boards and twisted his knee after being caught off stability by Matthew Knies within the 13th second of Saturday’s contest. And it was downright disturbing when Laine tried to barrel his means by Paré and Jacob Quillan and located himself twisted round, along with his six-foot-five physique corkscrewing its means all the way down to the ice.
For linemate Kirby Dach, it was a déjà vu second he hoped to by no means expertise.
Dach tore the MCL and ACL in his proper knee in his second recreation final season. He was then informed it might be his final look in 2023-24.
On Saturday, that complete expertise got here speeding again to Dach and he’s hoping the information gained’t be as dire in Laine’s case.
“It sucks,” Dach stated. “You definitely don’t want to see guys get hurt.”
Especially not guys who maintain promise to take the Canadiens to a different degree — like Dach did earlier than his harm final 12 months, and like Laine hoped to when he got here to Montreal intent on reviving his 40-goal scorer’s contact.
Dach may really feel the start of that course of unfolding effectively over the previous few days.
“He’s been nothing but positive,” the 23-year-old centre stated of Laine. “He’s been full of pleasure of becoming a member of our crew, and I believe he noticed what we have been making an attempt to construct right here and was excited to be part of it.”
And now this.
“Definitely sucks seeing that happen to a guy that’s dealt with some injury situations like myself,” stated Dach. “Hopefully it’s nothing but good news (coming) and he’s back out there.”
The massive Finn has handled greater than his share of unhealthy information over the past 12 months.
So have the Canadiens, who can’t appear to exorcise the harm bug.
“I don’t know if it’s a jinx,” stated Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis.
He’s proper. It feels extra like some kind of voodoo curse at this level.
How it threatens the Canadiens’ plans to be within the combine for a playoff spot is anyone’s guess, however it’s important to assume their possibilities of attaining that aim might be severely hindered by any long-term absence for Laine.
He was introduced right here for his booming shot and silky ability, to finish the highest six, to assist insulate a deep backside six, and positively to assist in giving the Canadiens two threatening power-play models.
A 12 months in the past, that they had only one and, regardless of just a few scorching streaks, it led them to ending 27th within the league within the class.
“It’s a huge benefit to a team to be able to have two different looks for PKs to worry about and to be able to attack them two different ways. It’s just that much harder to pre-scout and to be able to handle them,” stated first-unit quarterback Mike Matheson.
He knew why he was being requested about it.

Losing a key piece like Laine on one unit definitely doesn’t make the work Matheson, St. Louis and the Canadiens should do on the ability play any simpler.
The coach stated that a part of Montreal’s recreation, together with offensive-zone techniques, might be a major focus from now to the lead-up to the season, and he is aware of it should be after watching the Canadiens go 0-for-7 with the man-advantage towards the Leafs B-squad.
But that clearly wasn’t the principle factor on St. Louis’s thoughts when he met with reporters after this fight-filled affair.
“It’s hard to see him go down like that today,” he stated of Laine.
Matheson had one other phrase for it, calling it “frustrating.”
Of the likelihood that Laine’s state of affairs is, actually, as unhealthy because it seems, he added, “I can only imagine what that would feel like for him.”
Devastating in all probability solely scratches the floor of it.
