Good.

We've seen some chirping and stuff from him before. Taunting other teams. I would love for him to be the "attitude" guy this team needs. A more talented Steve Ott.

I pigged out on all the junk food at work the last few days and I feel terrible. I think I'm fasting today :lol:

I'm going to say that I don't know if this will be good for him. I think I'd almost prefer he keep grinding things out in the A.

Interesting...

His previous production is irrelevant to me given his current play. This isn't just a slump. He's fallen right off the chart. So either he's crashing back to earth or he's having a down year. I'm inclined to think it's the former and that his production the previous two years under Bylsma was a product of him being sheltered instead of being asked to carry more of the water like this year. I don't know what he's going to command as an RFA, but I'm not confident I want to pay it. I might prefer to let another team deal with that.

I think Last Chance as in, if he can't produce with Jack and Evander, then he can't produce anywhere on this team.

Maybe this is what finally closes the temporal loop of the Better Days Curse.

All I see from Reinhart is another player who is failing outside of Dan Bylsma's protective cocoon.

He's exactly what Montreal fans said he was: maddeningly inconsistent.

Sam Reinhart as a passenger is not acceptable. A player cannot put up two 40+ point seasons and then suddenly fall off a cliff. He'll be lucky to crack 30 this year. That's a problem on this team. If Sam Reinhart can't fill Brian f*cking Gionta's skates, then what good is he really?

Relax. It's just practice. Let's see what the lines look like on Friday.

Last chance for Sam I think.

I like it. I wish more coaches would sh*t-talk this team.

This wont be a problem once bananas go extinct.

The only question that remains for me is this: does Sam belong in the NHL? I agree with you that Sam/Pominville should be interchangeable. Ideally we wouldn't be in bad shape if Reinhart was a Pommers replacement. The problem is: Sam has regressed. He's getting beaten out for the job by a guy 13 years older than him. That really shouldn't be happening at this point in Sam's career. But it is. And it's a problem. I think Sam has been told something simple: You're 6'1" and nearly 200lbs. Start playing like it. Sam has the smarts, but he needs to make up for his lack of speed by being much much stronger on the puck. I think he's capable of getting there, but I think his attitude/work ethic is holding him back. It's why I think he should have spent a year in the A getting his ass kicked by a bunch of plugs. I don't like the trope of saying someone needs to "act like a man", but Sam falls right into that slot for me. I need to see a little more David Krejci work ethic outta him.

I've been saying this since the off-season. I need smarter players for Jack, and that's why I like Pommers with him. I need guys who complement Jack, not guys who Jack has to work harder for.

He was better than Darcy, and that's all that really mattered. He was a bad GM when it came to communication/management. He wasn't in tune with what was going on with the players and coaches. That's what got him canned.

Video scouting destroyed our farm system.

I really wanted him to come here. So bummed he didn't.

If Pouliot had cashed in on any one of his magnificent opportunities then maybe we're celebrating a win. Sucks to lose a pretty well played game like this.

Would be nice if we could score.

Can't buy a goal

I can't find a single stream that isn't a lagged out mess tonight. Guess I'll go watch something else.

Rubbish US anthem.
