“My game is probably gonna look terrible since I haven’t skated for two months.” JetsNHL's Patrik Laine is eager to get back on the ice, but he expects post-quarantine hockey to feature plenty of rust.
sniper also knows post-quarantine hockey will feature plenty of rust — at least initially — if the NHL gets the green light to return this summer.
It should be noted that even if the framework is cemented, a number of issues remain, including getting the go-ahead from government and health officials, timing, locations, testing procedures and ensuring the safety of everyone involved. Laine, who is back home in Finland, had 28 goals and 63 points through 68 games when the NHL suspended its season March 12 amid the widening novel coronavirus outbreak.
“I took some big steps this year, especially in my all-around game,” Laine said. “It was the first time in my career I had more assists than goals, so hopefully that’s not going to happen again.
