Otetaanpa Paul Mauricen kommentit Laineesta ja Barkovista talteen:
“There’s an uncoached brilliance in both their games,” Jets coach Paul Maurice said. "I can’t tell you how [Laine] shoots the puck the way he shoots it. Barkov [is] just a brilliant two-way centerman, great hands but also his stick’s in the right spot, physical in the D-zone, kind of came into the League and took a little bit of time and then looked like a pro that you’re done coaching, right?
“There’s four or five guys on my team I don’t really coach them. They know what they’re doing, they know the routes, they know the game. Say ‘Hi’ to them in the morning, ‘How’re you doing?’ [Barkov] looked like he got to that point really quickly. That’s hard to do.”
