One of the standout moments of the Montreal Canadiens' training camp has been Patrik Laine's proactive attitude, as he made headlines by being the first player on the ice at the Brossard complex.

This early dedication set the tone for a competitive spirit that Laine has broughtt to the team.

Throughout the camp, Laine has demonstrated an unprecedented level of competitiveness, occasionally showing signs of frustration. This intensity stems from his very high personal expectations, indicating that he is keen to return to the elite level of play he has previously showcased. While some might perceive this behavior as impatience, it primarily reflects his strong desire to win and perform at his best.

Laine's commitment is noteworthy, especially considering his mixed performance last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, where he played only 18 games, scoring 6 goals and adding 3 assists. Despite the challenges he faced, Laine has come into this training camp with a clear focus on improving and regaining his form. His combination of raw talent and a strong work ethic signals that he is determined to shake off the past and make a significant impact in Montreal.

His recent approach has drawn positive attention, with fans and coaches alike noting his eagerness to contribute to the team's success. The Canadiens are optimistic that Laine's determination will translate into on-ice performance as the regular season approaches.

With the season opener in October looming, the time Laine is investing in his game now may prove crucial. If he can successfully navigate this adjustment period and harness his competitive spirit, he could emerge as a key player for the Canadiens, significantly impacting their playoff aspirations this season.
