“I saw a couple (of doctors)…I got some good opinions. At the end of the day, it was my call to make whatever we want to do. The team & everybody else gave me all the help with that. At the end of the day I decided not to do a surgery, just do rehab & let it heal…it was my knee after all.” – Laine

So surgery was an option for this type of injury?
Woops. I thought the team told him no surgery
If surgery is not needed and it can heal in about 3-4 months, Im all for it.
Hopefully it was the right call and that his knee will be 100% ok after rehabilition. Probably pros and cons with both alternatives.
Hmmm man I hope for his and the teams sake that this is the right decision. Either way, such shitty situation for him. Hopefully the rehab goes smoothly and he can be back to normal.
Yeah I hope this was the right decision, with his luck and our team misfortunes…I hope it’s not an aggravating factor. All the best to Patrik in his recovery.
I trust the team doctors, besides, You can’t force a player to do what he doesn’t want…
Just ask Jack Eichel and Buffalo’s medical staff
I may be misremembering but didn’t McDavid do this as well? I believe the injury was different but chose rehab over surgery? Pretty sure there was a documentary on this. Either way I’m sure they made the best possible decision.
Reminds me of McDavid not doing surgery a few years ago. Doing rehab as a full time job can have impressive results.
Not exactly what you want to hear.
“It *was* my knee after all”.
Using the past tense here proves the Iqaluit theory beyond any reasonable doubt.
I went to a sans rendez vous clinique in Montreal, I had to take a rendez vous for that… and I waited 9 hours, so I told to myself my knee seems ok 👌
It’s good that Laine chose to get another opinion to see if he can rehab the knee, reminds me of McDavid choosing to rehab his knee in the summer rather than getting surgery, clearly made the right decision.
