It was the first match yesterday of Patrik Laine in the uniform of the Montreal Canadiens.
For the occasion, the head coach Martin St. Louis had paired him with the attackers Kirby Dach et Juraj Slafkovsky on the team’s second line.
All three players did well overall, giving St. Louis the idea to keep its monstrous line intact for future games in an effort to allow them to create some chemistry together.
Moreover, after the meeting, the young Slafkovsky allowed us to discover a side that we know a little less about Laine, affirming that he is a real hottie, he who never stops making jokes on the team bench during the match.
This is what he told the journalist Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports.
Just being on the bench with him is heartbreaking. You should hear the things he can say. I cried the whole match!

On the other hand, he preferred not to repeat what he had said to him during the meeting, affirming that it was not said into a microphone.
Obviously, the chemistry between the two forwards seems to have already started to work off the ice. It could only be a matter of time before that’s the case on the ice too.
