Prospect Info: David Reinbacher - Laval Rocket edition

[Tyson]

He is so smooth, so smart on the ice. He just needs more time.

 

[Guiness time]

After watching his 2 first games, its clear he's played in the pros. Hes calm and clearly feels comfortable with the pace of the game. Very impressive when you think he has barely played on NA sized rinks. It's no doubt he will be the first call up on D once he gets a few more games in.

Yes he is that good and should be the first call up. Hopefully Laval has an arduous and long playoff run which would salvage his season

 

[Paddyjack]

I'm still pretty sure that the plan behind trading Kova this summer was to play him this season. Injury derailed that.

Definitely would’ve gotten at least a call up for sure

 

[Schooner Guy]

You know, I will trust the judgement of a professional PT employed by the team on this.

The new medical staff has been pretty good since Gorton brought them in. Most players return early or on time. I'd trust them.

I'd rather trust someone who has read a couple of articles on the internet over intelligent professionals who have devoted their life to the field.

NO POLITICS

We're talking about Reinbacher's return to play plan and Habs medical staff.

No "all caps" BY THE WAY!

 

[windycity]

I didn't know that. Interesting. Friedman and Bukauskas also talked about injured players getting involved in scouting and coaching during an episose of 32 thoughts last year. So there are other examples in the NHL but I don't think it's necessarily common. Maybe should be though. Players can certainly learn a lot.

I think it's a great idea

 

[windycity]

If you want to play him less in terms of ice time, sure by all means go ahead and do that. But to allow him to miss the game when he already has missed 75% of the season is BS. What is this? Kindergarten?

The last thing we need is hockey to turn into the NBA.

Maybe let the medical professionals and coaches who work with him every day make that judgement? Just a thought

Unfortunately too many people actually think that way these days

Since the announcement of Reimbacher getting a therapy day, this thread has been a bunch of:

What makes Reinbacher so good is his mistakes don't end up in the back of our net.

[Redux91]

Reinbacher looked great man
Good for him

 

[Tyson]

Now I see why he was picked 5th. He knows how to play defense.

 

[JuicyJofa]

Any footage of his defensive prowess ? Seen the assist and a rush on the last Rocket's highlights.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Now I see why he was picked 5th. He knows how to play defense.

Kills plays and has such great poise to put the team straight back on attack.

 

[Gally11]

It’s not sexy hockey but will win us a lot of important games, we’ve seen enough of what bad defense looks like lol at least his D turns into offense

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

But if he can get that sexy in his game that was in his first NA goal last year then we’re really in business.

he's the hockey equivalent of the Uno reverse card

You know what's sexy....besides me.....winning and that's all that matters

 

[Rapala]

I can't believe how sexy the not sexy games players like Beck and Reinbacher bring to the table every night feel.

 

[Goalfield13]

Is he going to be Hutson's partner next season?
