6. They have a game tomorrow against Lake Erie, the start of a 3 games in 3 days stretch.

It'll be interesting to see if he gets a game or two in this stretch or if they hold him out until the closing 3 game in 3 day stretch.

I can't see why they would not play him or any of the other new guys. There is nothing to lose and in Reinhart's case - he has to be better than some of the current centers.

 

[ZZamboni]

Nice little stint for Reinhart. He should enjoy himself.

Hope he does

 

[Reddawg]

Any word on when his first game will be in Rochester? I'd love to attend.

 

[mgeise]

Nice, I'm glad Reinhart is going to be able to get some games in with Rochester this year.

I would think he'll be at the game this friday.

@pham1717: Reinhart just walked by. Prob for a physical and to talk to Murray

 

[Beerz]

Evander Kane was also flying to Buffalo yesterday. I'm sure he's having his end of the year meetings with those two.

 

[wheelklown]

I was thinking that Kane might be making an appearance for fan appreciation weekend. EOY meeting with TM makes sense too.

Hope Reinhart absolutely tears it up in Roch now so people can end the talk about him not being ready for the NHL.

We can end the talk when he proves he's NHL ready.

0 chance lol, kid didn't really "tear up" the WHL when he went back..

0 chance lol, kid didn't really "tear up" the WHL when he went back..

Kootenay had lost like 12 straight games before he went back. They made the playoffs and lost in 7 games with him there...This whole he didn't play well in juniors in overblown.

Fixed it for you.

It's just stat watchers who see his numbers are down from last year and think he must have played poorly or something.

Who said he didn't play well? I just simply said he didn't tear it up. Wasn't a shot...just being realistic.

What's "tearing it up"? stats?

 

[ZeroPT*]

I'd actually say it's the other way around. Sure a 2 PPG in his draft year would be great, but let's be realistic. He's all Kootenay has, he was absolutely dominant at the WJC.
Like I said, his junior production could be better, but him dominating the WJC tells me all I need to know. I suspect that he doesn't really care all that much. He's been in junior for 4 full seasons. He got up for the big situation. If he hadn't dominated the way he did, I would be sorta worried. But now? Nah. Wonder how he'll do in Roch.

 

[Husko]

Sam's never going to tear it up. That's not his game, at all. That'd be like expecting Drury to dominate a game.

 

[LaxSabre]

@RSandersonWHTK -

C Sam Reinhart has a nagging injury and will NOT play tonight or tomorrow. Should debut for #Amerks one week from today.

Lower-body injury for #Amerks C Sam Reinhart. He'll likely debut for Rochester Fri 4/17 vs. Utica (3rd-to-last game of the season).

 

[ZeroPT*]

So that explains his playoffs.

Hope its nothing serious
