He’s winning me over with stuff like this. I’ll give him. The benefit of the doubt

Nice to see athletes discussing men’s mental health more often. When I was growing up it was all pushed under the rug. Good for him.

This guy is going to destroy the league this year. I have a really good feeling about him.

The main takeaway I get from this, personally, is that the work is really in going thru the emotions over and over. It sucks but it helps, really happy to have him be a bit of champion of mental health. A good addition to the locker room!

really glad to see how open he is w his struggles w mental health, and how much he truly believes in therapy. i think he is going to make a big difference in our community, and it’s going to be a positive one.
so much of hockey culture has been riddled with toxic masculinity, and all it does is hurt the players in the long run. nobody should be suffering in silence. the more athletes we have that speak honestly and positively about their experiences with therapy/mental health, the better off we will all be. so much respect for this guy, can’t wait to see him be a star and a positive role model for young fans in montreal

It’s not emasculating to seek out for help. The sooner we learn this lesson, the better.

I think this dude is going to be a great fit with our wonderful gang, and MSL will be the perfect coach for him. stay healthy, Patty….

This needs to be heard more often – especially for young males.

Thanks for helping break the stigma Patrik.
Love it.
I saved [this](https://preview.redd.it/kb4d5e3q49kd1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5784eb25351887ee9d515ab713aa3625bfeb527) from this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Habs/comments/1eyd9uf/laine_slaf_cooking_show_when/) after I commented on Patty’s business opportunities outside of hockey but I think its kinda fitting in a lot of scenarios like here 🙂
Love this guy already.
Last thing I thought that would happen today is me crying over a video that Laine posted. Thanks, buddy. I really needed to hear this. <3
He could become the National spokesperson for mental health issues.
