He's extremely physically overmatched right now, reminds me of Reinhart his first couple years.
And Sam still hasn’t changed

Cute retort but that's wildly off baseAnd Sam still hasn’t changed
Not really he’s still soft and gets overpowered many times if he worked more in the summer then other things maybe his game would be complete by nowCute retort but that's wildly off base
You must be watching some other team if you think Reinhart is soft.Not really he’s still soft and gets overpowered many times if he worked more in the summer then other things maybe his game would be complete by now
He at least has some man strength now and wins a ton of board battles whereas he used to get pushed aside very easily. I definitely agree he is far from perfect and needs to work on his consistency. I still think his biggest issue is his lack of quickness when time and space gets tight.Not really he’s still soft and gets overpowered many times if he worked more in the summer then other things maybe his game would be complete by now
You must be watching a different guy then he definitely is easy to get off the puckYou must be watching some other team if you think Reinhart is soft.
When jacks not scoring people complain about him even when he is piling up assist
But when golden child Sam Stinks and gets outplayed the excuses happen and gets a pass
Why is that ? This dude would’ve been our so-called franchise center if we didn’t draft Jack
He does, though.You had me until the last line. Sobotka playing doesn’t force that line breaking up.
Going back to the beginning of the 2nd period in Tampa, we've scored one goal with a line other than Eichel's on the ice in the last 14 periods (plus about 8 OT minutes). And that was Thompson's 3rd period goal against the Lightning. A non-Eichel line hasn't scored a goal in four games.
So perhaps we should spend a little less time whining about one of the two forwards actually pulling their weight during this slump, and worry a bit more about the other three lines who aren't doing ****, or the coach whose strategy to get off this shnide is to continue banging his head against the wall by trying to win hockey games with one functioning line.
Yea its a shame we can't get better because of egos of managementNope. But that would require that JB admits that those two guys should be sent down. I don’t see that happening…
I just find it pretty meaningless to be the 14th person to say he did something bad/had a bad game. It gets a little redundant at some point.Reinhart gets criticism when he is bad and gets praised when he is good like any other player. If you claim you haven't seen both then that means you are biased one way or the other. There are like two, maybe three, posters who see Reinhart as a player who can do no right. Equally there are like two posters who see him as someone who can do no wrong, yourself and the person you are referencing.
So 71 and 37 sit which i strongly disagree especially 37 since he is part of our core over 17,10 and 29 who bring nothing to the table.if you want to argue that 10 should play because his line of 22 and 28 were effective fine except 28 didn't play i never heard of a reason .You are correct in putting reinhart on another line .I think Sheary and okposo see getting a free pass,neither has scored in awhile.Would love to see Nylander and oloffson to see if they can provide some offence they can't be any worse then the other 3 lines10-22-28 has been the only non-Eichel driven competent line this year, no reason we should be sending 10 down. I get he isn’t great but that line was shutting others down.
Now 17, sure. Board darling 71, should sit again....and both 37 and 43 need to start scoring or setting up.
Our severe lack of any offense outside of an Eichel driven line is alarming. I thought Sam was hot garbage today but he needs to be separated and drive his own line. Putting all our eggs in 1 basket does nothing for the rest of the lines. God forbid if 53-9 stop putting up points...
I think we have to go back to:
53-9-29
....and try to generate some offense from whoever else.
71 deserves to sit for a callup
37 deserves to just sit, he’s not been good
Our defense, well if 5 has to be in due to injuries you’re just gonna have to figure out a way to score more, which is this teams major problem right now outside of Skinner-Eichel
If 9 isn't on the ice they don't score. 23 is loving life these days.
And you know how hard he works? HmmNot really he’s still soft and gets overpowered many times if he worked more in the summer then other things maybe his game would be complete by now
Oh it wasn't thinly veiled. It wasn't veiled at all. Like I said I enjoy the 19 minutes per game 9 is on the ice because during that time they might actually score.Sam has created plenty of offense himself during this stretch, so your thinly veiled "Sam is living off Jack" post is nonsense.
