In baseball, a pitcher can throw a perfect game. In football, a quarterback can have a perfect passer rating. On Saturday, Patrik Laine came about as close as you can come to perfection by hockey standards. 5 shots on goal, all from the slot, all into the back of the net. Patrik the Perfect. There’s really not much more to say – it was as flawless a goal scoring display as you’ll see from a pure sniper. So, congrats Patrik Laine – thanks to your 5 goal performance, you are our Weekend Warrior. If you haven’t seen the highlights – here they are:
