The Reinhart Goal Watch

[NEcoli]

His whole line was awful in Vegas, and his giveaway on the power play that directly led to the second Vegas goal might've been the worst play of the night. But he's still pretty far down my list of players to shit on right now.

Top 10 hot takes.

How is it a hot take exactly? Been watching Sam for 3+ seasons now...

I really want to try to explain it to you. But you won't take it seriously. It's just ridiculous that you can have a take like that when the guy has had as much influence on games as anybody on the team the last couple years.

 

[Beerz]

I dont care where he scores from .or if it's even strength or PP... just f***ing put the puck in the net.

 

[HaNotsri]

Looks like bad Reinhart is back to start this season as well. Maybe we shouldn’t give him time off during summer?
Sure feels good not having him locked up on a monster deal.

 

[1972]

I’m pretty happy with the deal Botterill gave him, quite simply he isn’t a consistent impact player offensively yet. I think he can be, but he hasn’t shown it.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Reinhart doesn't look bad as he did last year in the first half. But still he must produce. Playing good but not being on the score sheet can only go so far.

Sam has to step up. Skinner has been by far our best winger.

He’s not playing good right now.

Maybe the fact that Skinner is multiple times better than Reinhart has something to do with Skinner being our beat winger and Sam being a nobody so far. 0 surprise here. So glad we gave him a bridgw, it wont bibite us in the ass at all and maybe we manage to sign him at around 5 mil in 2 years time.

He hasn't been bad, he will get things going for him eventually. He's still a young kid, people seem to forget that.

Give me a break. If your standards for Sam are as high as for Girgensons, he hasn't been bad, yes. Also hes not a young kid anymore. Hes in his 4th year, he should be impact player now, this is a young man's game today.

Reinhart looks VERY good defensively. The offense will come.

He's only 22 and is showing since of offensive brilliance at times. He's already a decent offensive player, just give him some time and confidence to develop further. Not every guy comes in at the age of 18 and starts producing like Gretzky.

He hasn't even been bad, he's usually one of the few in the O-zone if you watch the games that are making good passes that leads to scoring chances. He's a lot better than most offensive young guys i've seen at that age in the Sabres-organisation.

Patience is the key word. Even if the league is a "young man's game" there's always going to be exceptions to the rule. It's only speed that makes it a "young man's game", well guess what most those players will be done by the age of 28 when their wheels are gone and the injuries they have sustained from a hellish schedule that is 82 games+playoffs caughts up with them. Reinhart is not that kinda of a player, if he puts everything together and starts growing a confidence and gets things rolling again he will be effective up until his retirement.

Would be stupid to trade him.

Edit: I also want to add. Girgensons never looked this good. He always looked kinda iffy with the puck and all. I loved his drive forward but it seems to have taken a toll on him and he doesn't do that anymore. Reminds me a lot of how E-Rod is nowadays.

Silly excuses is all I can say to this post.

Well 5 Assists in 9 games, 1 ES point, and a -5 . He wont be scoring an ES goal for sure until hes back with Eichel because he doesn't dictate anything while hes on the ice. 65% Ozone starts, and his analytics are a + so I guess his shot suppression metrics are above average which is amazing for a 2OA pick. Hes just not dynamic but I guess he has a role.

 

[Snippit]

His skating looks way better this year. To be honest he looks a lot more dangerous this year than he has at any time in the past.

It'll come

 

[Buffaloed]

He's had some great scoring chances. It's hard to believe one of them hasn't gone in. I'm not concerned. As long as he keeps playing the way he is the goals will come.

 

[Royal Thunder]

He's been fine. Once he gets one he will get rolling.

 

[Gordo21]

I think he looks improved overall regardless of his lack of goals. Great on power play, improved skating. Of late, squeezing his stick some.

Honestly, he's been somewhat lucky goal wise in his career thus far, seeing that most of his goals are tip ins in front. Although there's certainly skill associated with that. Basically, I see an improved player though.

Do you actually watch the games?

You know the answer to that.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Yes, thanks for asking.

 

[OkimLom]

Do you actually watch the games?

That's not the right question to ask.

 

[Man of Principles]

Maybe he's just going to be a notoriously slow starter over his career. There are lots of athletes in every sport who are.

You can see the difference in his creativity and smarts. He's a lot more dialed in than he was at this time last year.

 

[1972]

Come on? He's made one or two defensive gaffs each game the last few. He's a winger who gets the puck out more often then not, lets not act like he's been VERY good, he's been what you'd expect from basically any winger whose average to above average defensively.

He's having a slow start and hasn't been great, he will be fine and start producing soon. But my goodness do some every take every chance to tear him down while others will blindly defend every single thing he does at all costs. I can't remember ever having such a polarizing player on this board, who was the last like this? Myers?
