Patrik Laine to a Panthers fan: 'We’ve beaten you four times this season.'

Youve probably seen pictures of Patrik Laine with his good friend Aleksander Barkov, celebrating the Panthers victory in the Stanley Cup Final.
You might have thought that seeing a champion team like the Panthers might give Laine ideas about leaving Montreal for Florida, but not at all! When asked by a Panthers fan about joining the Panthers, the Finn gave an incredible answer! I think Im fine in Montreal, we beat you four times in the regular season.
Patrik Laine They dont call him Ice Man for nothing (Credit to @david954FLA for the story) pic.twitter.com/dCGuDYFm6e HFTV (@HFTVSports) June 19, 2025 Granted, the choice between winning four regular-season games and winning the Stanley Cup is an easy one, but its a funny one all the same.
The Canadiens forward has a great sense of repartee! It also shows that despite all the little problems involving Laine in Montreal, hes still focused on his current team and remains loyal.
The host of a podcast about the Panthers shared this story, and he even admitted that it was an excellent response, explaining that he couldnt even be angry because it was so good.
Last night when we were leaving my friend told him he should come to Florida and his response was I think Im good in Montreal, we beat you 4 times in the regular season Cant even be mad at that response lmao #TimeToHunt https://t.co/abd8dJY4OJ David (@David954FLA) June 19, 2025 To see Laine defend the Canadiens in this way is very pleasing.
His season with the Canadiens has been full of ups and downs, but hell have a chance to bounce back in the fall.
Number 92 will be entering the final year of his contract, and hell probably want to put on a good show to limit his pay cut in his next deal.
I say pay cut because it would be very surprising if his new contract were higher than his current $8.7 million per year.
If Laine wants to continue making friends in Montreal, he could start by continuing to beat the Panthers every time he faces them! Overtime A nice gesture.
In the closing moments of the Cup clinching win, Paul Maurice told his 4th line he was sending them out for the final shift of the game.
I want you 3 guys on the ice when we win this, because were down 2-0 against Toronto, and you got us here.

Its so true! Im finalizing my mock draft and I might have the worst result Ive ever had! Always fun to do though #NHLDraft https://t.co/2NhCyQXkRE Marc-Olivier Beaudoin (@MOBeaudoin1) June 19, 2025 La Victoire improves its defense.
