Video Conference Call with Winnipeg Jets winger Patrik Laine

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.
