However, a horrific scene involving the player has many fans worrying that his return to the ice will be short-lived. During a recent preseason game between the Maple Leafs and Canadiens, Toronto forward Cedric Pare seemed to lunge knee-to-knee with Patrik Laine, causing the Montreal forward's leg to bend the wrong way, and forcing him off the ice for the remainder of the game.
According to the latest accounts, Patrik Laine could be out for a considerable time. To the surprise of no one, most NHL fans were inconsolably enraged by this occurrence, calling the move out for its dirtiness. Among the most vocal of Cedric Pare's recent critics is former NHLer PK Subban. In a recent social media post, the ESPN analyst called out the move as irresponsible and blatantly disrespectful.
Hopefully Pare gets reprimanded for his actions against Laine. Having just completed the NHLPA's players assistance program, this will be a huge step back for Laine.
