Talented teetotaller Patrik Laine gunning for league goal-scoring title
WINNIPEG — Patrik Laine wants to hoist the Stanley Cup, but drinking champagne out of the hallowed trophy is another matter.
The Winnipeg Jets star sniper doesn’t drink alcohol. Never has.
So what happens if he wins the NHL championship and the champagne-filled mug is passed to players for a celebratory drink?
“I’ll probably drink something else. We’ll see,” Laine said Sunday prior to scoring twice in Winnipeg’s 4-2 victory over the Dallas Stars.
