The Wraparound panel discusses if Patrik Laine can get back to his former form Not so long ago on Nov. 4, there was a guest coach at the Montreal Canadiens' practice. Marc Bureau was on hand to help the Habs' centers practice faceoffs. Today, there was another former Tricolore player on the ice, but that one had a different speciality. RDS viewers know P.J.

Not that the New York Rangers' tough guy has had much of an opportunity to put his tips to good use, he's only played four NHL games so far this season (and 16 in the AHL). Stock's clinic certainly looked more serious than when Brendan Prust tried to teach a few tricks to P.K. Subban 10 years ago...
