His line didn't play particularly well, which is normal given the lack of chemistry, but he still showed some great things.
The moment things got heated was when he was bumped by Florian Xhekaj, and he stormed back to the bench in fury. Personally, I love it!
Not only is Patrik Laine showing emotion, which is a good sign and shows he's highly competitive, but also Florian Xhekaj is making his presence felt, and he's not going after just anyone.
Patrik Laine stands 6'5" and is very solid, so seeing the youngest Xhekaj get under his skin is encouraging.
There was some great action during this first intra-squad game, and we finally have some hockey to enjoy!
