Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis stresses patience – from himself and from the players.
Patrick Laine took a new step in his career in the NHL hockey league, when he moved to the most legendary of the league’s legendary clubs, the Montreal Canadiens, a month ago. This week, the Finnish forward has already been able to show his skills after the Canadiens started training camp for the season starting in October, but on Saturday, hopefully, there was news from Quebec that was not so worrying.
– Patrik Laine will not take part in today’s ice session, the Canadiens announced message service in X and worried many passionate Canadiens fans on social media.
The society supplemented Lainea’s “therapy day” in English and “journee de traitements” in French, meaning the man was treated and the ice was missed.
Laine suffered a collarbone injury last season. In January, Laine left the season and applied for the treatment program of the NHL and the players’ association NHLPA, which is intended for players suffering from mental health problems, gambling addiction or other problems.
Laine got out of the treatment program in the summer. He moved from the Columbus Blue Jackets to Montreal a month ago.
In the opening days of training camp, Laine has been planted in the Canadiens’ second line By Kirby Dach and by Alex Newhook with. Both Lainee and Dachi have to shake the rust off their shoulders, because Laine last played in the NHL in the middle of last December and Dachi’s last season was already in the middle of October.
– It’s been a while since they played. And once you’ve been on the sidelines, it’s not easy to come back. They are players who have high expectations for themselves and I have to make sure I remind them to relay and be patient, head coach Martin St. Louis said the Canadian website on the third day of training camp on Friday According to TSN.
– We all know what they are capable of – and with time and repetitions we will see how their game improves. I just have to be patient, St. Louis continued after Laine’s streak was in fine trouble in the practice game session.
Dach trusts that the chain will find strength when we get to the season.
– “Patty” has a world-class shot, and there is enough skill and know-how to create places. “Newy’s” speed and my speed open a lot of lines for Patty to get free and get a shot, Dach glowed the chain.
Montreal’s regular season starts the night before October 10 Finnish time with a match against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
