Former Columbus Blue Jackets player Mike Commodore criticized Patrik Laine for his comments about the team. Talking to the media after the Montreal Canadiens’ morning skate before the game against the Blue Jackets on Dec. 23, Laine talked about the reason behind asking for a trade out of Columbus. Laine claimed that the organization lacked commitment to winning and was stuck in a losing cycle.
Commodore said that the Blue Jackets hadn’t been a model franchise but called out Laine’s lack of self-awareness.
"Patrik Laine calling the Blue Jackets losers and not so many words too comfortable. Not Patrik Kane, Patrik Laine," Commodore said on Monday. "I'm not going to argue with what he said, Maybe he's right, I don't know. I mean, the Blue Jackets haven't been a model franchise over the years. Maybe they are too comfortable."
