Laine 1,361 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 HELSINKI, FINLAND - The Helsinki has been struggling as of late, crawling to a 21-19-3 record through 43 games. Just barely good enough to hold on to the 5th spot in the European Conference. No one has been more vocal about Helsinki's recent shortcoming than rookie Patrik Laine. "It's f***ing frustrating. You play so well but the results just don't go your way. You can't score, you can't produce. It starts to get to you after a while. The only thing I have consistently done this season has been improving my defence. My offensive production has fallen off and as you can imagine, I'm pretty frustrated at this point." The 18 year rookie has potted 8 goals and 20 points through 43 games. However, the statistics have their shortcoming. 11 of those points, including 4 goals, have come on the power play. Not to mention that the rookie hasn't scored a goal in 12 games and has been pointless in his last six. His shooting percentage has also been abysmal, sitting at 6.9% on 116 shots. "I can't blame anyone on the team. We stick together through thick and thin and this is just another hill. I think I just gotta stay with it and eventually the results will come." 209 words monttu, Jayrad28, mattyIceman and 3 others 6 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/92843-laine-frustrated-with-play-as-helsinki-trends-in-the-wrong-direction/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JigglyGumballs 1,056 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Damn he really is Patrik Laine but in the VHL. I wonder how much of a defensive liability he is now?
