Did Reinbacher did better then Trudeau ?
They don’t play the same way. Trudeau was fine, but his play anticipation and ice reading for the quick outlet pass is not at the same level.
Reinbacher is still trying to tweak his defensive play close to the net, but he’s pretty damn efficient with the rest…at 19! He doesn’t need to spend too much effort on the ice, he’s thinking the game at another pace, the puck doesn’t stay long on his stick (which is something coaches LOVE). He will create a lot of touches. Puck will move up the ice quickly with him.
I watched the game tonight and he impressed me a lot. I think his stint in the A will be short. TBH, he might be the first call up on the right side this season in case of an injury.
Let’s see how the rest of the camp goes, but will be a thing of beauty. I just see it.
And like our venerable Chester, I thought Beck was very efficient. Carbo-like. Another one who won’t spend too much time down in Laval. Mature. You would have thought he was 25 years old out there. He has that ‘thing’ that you can’t define. He’s complete. Thinks 200 feet all the time.
Of note: Mesar surprised me with his relentless work. I was expecting a floater relying on his skills only. I saw a kid that worked. And created some chances. Very raw still. But I see something that could be.
Boring and non descript game for the rest. And who’s this Hughes guy?!? Nice mask. A bit awkward sometimes in his movements, but stopped some good chances up close. He will help Dobes this year, me thinks.
On commence à être en voiture, j’te dis pas. Fun times.
