Video Conference Call with Winnipeg Jets winger Patrik Laine

The Jets winger spoke from his home in Finland.

Jets winger Patrik Laine is back in Finland during the pause in NHL action.  Today’s video conference covered quite a bit of ground.  Check it out.

Notable:

Communicating with his teammates: “I’ve been sending pics to Nikky (Ehlers) of my Lambo and he’s been sending me pics of his.”

His season to date: “First time in my career that I had more assists than goals. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again.”

On a return to play scenario: “My game is probably going to look terrible as I haven’t skated for two months…..”

Said his first game with the Jets was his most memorable. Added having his family there and getting a goal and an assist helped.

Laine, who uses a Bauer Vapor stick, said it is the one piece of equipment that he really puts a lot of focus on. Not a surprise.

Was asked about the 2 on 1 OT winner against the Leafs where he had the hat trick. Took a fun shot at Nikolaj Ehlers saying he never considered passing in OT.
