False information about Patrik Laine is circulating

You can't fault Laine for his off-ice commitment. Many players would be sulking right now instead of helping the organization in this way.

This ties in with what I told Georges and Gonzo last week on BPM Sports: Laine is happy with his current situation and is acting like an excellent teammate under the circumstances. He isn't physically injured.

Yes, it would have been better if he'd been traded at the trade deadline, and no, he's not likely to wear the Habs jersey again in a game, but at least he's not causing harm (and he's even helping off the ice). That's something.

False information making the rounds
Karine Hains, in her article on Laine, also noted that the Canadiens had taken the time to remove all images of the Finnish forward from the pre-game video at the Bell Centre (on the jumbotron).

“As for Laine, it's clear we won't see him play for the Canadiens again; he's even been removed from the motivational video shown at the Bell Centre before every game.” – Karine Hains

I went straight to the source, even though the reports from a journalist assigned to cover the team are generally reliable. The result: I received confirmation from the Canadiens that yes, the opening video was recently updated to include more current highlights, but that Laine still appears in it. He is also featured in the clip that plays right before this video.

In short, regardless of what one thinks of Patrik Laine's current situation, it's important to tell the truth. That truth is this: no, the Canadiens have not removed all images of Patrik Laine from their opening video.
