I'm planning to do a bit of NYC for my anniversary. I love Carmine's and we're leaning towards going to the one in AC for the big old night out

No...three seasons of watching him play.

Funny, most of the people who think he's not good use the same rationale.

He's gettin' all Savardian tonight.

Have to say, Vinny does appear to be a little lighter on his feet thus far

I think I'm becoming disappointed with Umberger again.

First real look at RJ for me and I've been happy with him tonight. Also think schenn has been very noticeable in a good way tonight. Luke that is

Wish we had Bodie so I had an excuse to use more Swayze gifs.

Morin's really very good along the boards.

He's been very, uh, unnoticeable thus far.

That was sweet

How so, just curious. I had low expectations for him myself so that might be why I'm happy with his play

Simmer!! Guess he's not bleeding tonight..

The train of Wayne has arrived

Simmonds does look good.

I love how Jonesy didn't even react to the goal and just kept talking.

That was sweet

Yes, indeed

The train of Wayne has arrived

Is the Shayne train inbound or outbound?

It's preseason

I've noticed him all preseason.

Out...but I do wonder if Morin's will be delayed for a week or so

LOL
How dare they score when I'm trying to make a point!

Not me. My view of Rinaldo is that he's not shown a lot of improvement as a player over his three NHL seasons, and is still prone to taking too many bad penalties. He's undisciplined in terms of playing within a system and staying out of the box, and he's not skilled enough to overcome that, IMO.

He's been little more than a pest at every level. In juniors he was a pest. In the AHL he was a pest, in the NHL he's been a pest. Generally guys that become pests at the NHL level were still pretty good players in junior.

Ian Laperriere had two 100+ point seasons in junior, including a 140 point season. Sean Avery and Steve Ott were putting up PPG seasons as junior guys. Rinaldo was a low scoring junior player.

Every once in awhile he'll show a flash, but it's rarely anything more than that

I ain't just gonna stop cause some one goes an scores; I'm trying to talk hockey

He's generally been very meh. Certainly nothing to be excited about.

My expectation of him goes up and down when I think about what we gave up and what he makes. I think he's a wild card player for this team. So far I think he's been alright.
