Mike Commodore crosses the limits with Patrik Laine, and that has generated a lot of talks

Known for his blunt comments, Commodore expressed his displeasure with Laine's outfit when the Finnish forward arrived at the Montreal Canadiens' training camp. His criticism wasn't about Laine's on-ice performance but his unique fashion choice. Laine was spotted wearing black and white spotted pants paired with lime green shoes, a look that didn't sit well with Commodore.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Commodore didn't hold back:

«Friends, I've been wanting to comment on this for weeks. I'm really trying not to sound like an old timer But in what world is it okay to show up dressed like a fing cow for your first photos in a Montreal Canadiens uniform? A cow, for f's sake!»

Commodore's critique highlights his resistance to the changing culture in the NHL, where younger players embrace bolder, more personal fashion styles. His reaction raises the question of whether he is simply overreacting or longing for the days when tradition ruled NHL locker rooms.

What makes his comments ironic is that during his playing career, Commodore was known for his distinct look, iconic hair, long beard, and laid-back style. His criticism of Laine, therefore, comes off as somewhat hypocritical, especially in a league where individuality, both on and off the ice, is increasingly celebrated.
