Whether he’s in Winnipeg or Columbus, one thing will always remain certain about Patrik Laine; the guy will always be a character.
You’d think a guy who was just shipped from the organization who drafted him four years earlier would maybe seem a little shaken up in one of his new team’s fans but nahhhh, this is Patty freakin Laine we’re talkin’ about here. The 22-year-old joined Fox Sport’s broadcast at first intermission and wasted absolutely no time leaving a funny impression with fans. Just listen to his response after getting asked about the team’s need for a goal-scorer.

Leave it to Patty to drop a banger like that in his introductory interview with the fans. Incredible. Although he did have a bit of a more serious one moments before where he admitted he was shocked by the trade.
Jackets and Jets fans… how ya feelin’ about this?!
Weird. Very weird.
Jackets fans, get used to clips like these ones of Patty. Just the other day he called his good pal Nik Ehlers a pigeon. Because, of course.
The end of an era and the start of a new one. We can’t wait to see how life in Columbus turns out for Patty.
