I'm not saying this with any track record of analyzing the type, but I figure "High Hockey IQ" guys take a bit of time before they truly shine. If that's the case, then Reinhart is gonna be awesome. Not saying some 80 point beast awesome, just mean in a very steady/consistent way where he'll almost be a quiet point getter - Pomminville-like

I will say minimum consistent 60 points per year.

Did they call it back?

It's a GOAL !!!

He's gonna be really good. The goal scoring is a bonus with the type of player he is. Perfect compliment to Eichel

I'm pretty floored by the # of goals he has already. I probably wouldn't have predicted this many for the whole season. Figure he'll be the prototypical 1:2 ratio goals:assists as he grows

He could use more time in the AHL....


Seriously, I said that. What an idiot

As soon as I turn the game off, they score two goals. As soon as I turn it back on, Florida scores again.

Franson + Weber is an awful pairing

I wasn't as impressed with him as others up until very recently. But when we are good, he's just going to be a guy that makes plays.

Reminds me of the type of player Detroit would have.

Reinhart = sniper

I can't imagine anybody thinking it would be a winning one.

Because Weber is our best defensive defenseman?

2-0

Kane beat that dudes ass twice.

Somethin tells me petrovic doesnt like kane much.

Too bad they cant go again without being ejected.

That's the thing though, it's not that he couldn't, it would help for sure. But it's been great since he was put up with O'Reilly and on the PP, so we just get to see it a bit sooner I guess.

Good players create their own luck. Being two moves ahead is his real skill, his luck is just an illusion.

That's what I'm saying. People will say he gets lucky to shoot home a rebound into an empty net, but it seems to happen on a nightly basis lately, and that means it's not really luck, but just him finding the soft area and being where the puck ends up. How many of his goals have come from more than 5 feet out? I honestly can't think of many, maybe 2? Of 16.

2-0

Not watching the game, but I predict this will be what Garth works a new blog title out of is Kane's fights

Yeah, I know, it's just hard not giving him chit after watching his entire career up to this point.

Yea id like to see em square off for real, center ice with an equal opportunity to get positioning. No helmets.

It was clear petrovic didnt like how the first one went down and kinda jumped him, still lost

I agree. Reminds me of another player. played forever but worked.

Wow, Garth really touched a nerve in Leaf Nation today. It's hilarious, because I don't think any other group of fans on here gave us more poop than Leafs fans last year.

What would Jagr's numbers look like if he never left the NHL....?

Isn't it great? The hypocrisy is just astounding. Even Edmonton fans coming in to their rescue, as if they're not the Kings of tanking.

You can't post there anyways.
