Could Jack's injury actually help Reinhart blossom as a player?

It’s possible, but in my view he was blossoming before Jack went down

I’m content at the moment that his good play has continued since.

 

As Freeman has frequently pointed out, the proof of his value wont come until he does this in the first two months of next season, when the games matter.

But the fact that he is at least a good player, not a bust that should be sold off for the first half-assed prospect offered should be accepted by any reasonable observer by now.

I also think he's looked better once he settled back in to being where he belonged.

No surprise Beaulieu out for that mess

 

He was out for 4:02 that shift.  Wow.

I'm actually not worried about next season.  I'm seeing growth in his attitude and game.  I agree that he was improving playing with Jack, but since Jack went down I'm seeing a guy no longer waiting for the play to come to him.  He is using his excellent hands to force the issue more and this is a skill that should carry over.

Scandella to Rodrigues after the goal: "That's my boy!"

Racist!

[Stoner]

G... No, you're right. No you're right.

Absolutely

In my view he’s been that player for nearly two months now, independent of Jack, but when is less important than the fact it’s there.

I expect it to continue as well, but I’ve expected Sam to eventually become this player since we drafted him, so confirmation bias is a fair criticism.

I always get that warm fuzzy feel content and cozy feeling when we stomp on Boston's nuts

 

Is it just me?

No it's great.

[dudacek]

Don’t mind Girgs as the speedy forechecker with two talented guys.

I’d like it more if we had a third line that compensated for the offence he doesn’t add.

 

And Antipin is clearly our 2nd best guy on the point.

Glad to see him getting a chance there.

It’s not you. It’s all of us.

Somewhere, Brad Park is doubled over in pain and I couldn't be happier.

Chi Chi likely saves a goal on the backcheck, then carries it to the Boston zone for a shoot in. #diamondintherough?

[Thorner]

Correct. My issue was never with observations that he was playing horribly, but rather, with projections that said the current play was a better indicator of his future than two full seasons of quality play.

  

 

A good point.

I agree, it had been coming on before Jack went down.

Honestly, I had always been one of his biggest advocates as well, until that stretch this season. We’ll call it a blip :p

I said it a few nights ago but he's been a bright spot. He's doubled his production from last year. I think he's earned a permanent spot in the middle 6.

Baptiste!

Beating Toronto is the only thing that passes it

I prefer beating Boston.
