GDT: Preseason Game 3 - Laval Rocket+ vs Leafs 7PM EST Sportsnet & RDS

[Canadienna]

We came out of the gate skating hard and hitting but we lost our energy somewhere in that period.

 

[Redux91]

LOL I just realized Kidney was playing.

My brother's like 'kiss 86 good bye'
I'm like 'you dont even know who that is do you'
'No..'

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Its almost like a full NHL roster is better than an AHL/CHL roster

Im shocked i tell you

 

[David Suzuki]

that 67 fella for the leafs looks like the worst captain in habs history

 

[Habs]

I am So glad we didn’t draft Michkov or Leonard

….

Shame on you we could have used Leonard

Time for the Dvo speech in the locker room here

 

[Whitesnake]

They went for a RD probably because he looked like a top 2 d and RD are more valuable than wingers.

This is always right until it isn't. It wasn't for us when we picked Demidov instead of Yakemchuck. It wasn't for Seatlle when they picked Catton isn't of Parekh...and tons and tons of other situations like that.

I DO HOPE that they thought the world out of him. That they REALLY see him, with time, a top 2 D. That's what a top 5 pick should be. Not 3 or 4. Top 2. 'Cause a top 5 pick up front is most like not only top 6...but maybe even top 3.

 

[Rapala]

Dobes is looking good.

GREAT

 

[WeThreeKings]

Don't sleep on Dobes. He's better than Primeau already, imo.

Let's see how we play next two periods. Got the omg we are playing a full, NHL team without many of our established NHLers period over with.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Disgusting 1st period by everyone not named Dobes

So sick of those f***ing inept powerplays, and can't believe that nobody is able to receive a pass

 

[FLHabs]

A lot of y'all seem to forget that this game is the hardest competition Reinbacher has faced in his career.

 

[neopreneur]

Agreed, Reinbacher is still a teenager and those of us who saw him in his 11 game AHL stint last spring saw a very promising young player. It's simple...he isn't ready, Mailloux might not be either. That's ok

Indeed.
Pietrangelo needed 2 years in the CHL before making it full time.
And as you said, Reinbacher, while not having a great showing so far showed a glimpse of his potential with the Rocket last year.
A full year in Laval this season, and then hopefully ready for prime time in 25/26.

 

[Whitesnake]

People were already doing future lineups with Mailloux Reinbacher , just shows how much people over hyper our prospects to fast.

Well future lineups, that can surely happen. This year's lineup...never.

 

[Toene]

Dobes is playing with a lot of confidence right now.

 

[sampollock]

Disgusting 1st period by everyone not named Dobes

So sick of those f***ing inept powerplays, and can't believe that nobody is able to receive a pass

And yet we're only down by a goal with a subpar lineup against the top figs

Said that with the flyers and devils. Shit half this board was ready to plan a parade, lol.

They picked for need for Reinbacher instead of BPA and it shows.

Be like Boomhauer talking

He will play 20+ minutes in front of a great crowd in Laval. It will be great for him.

Yeah but there's more to it than that. Pietrangelo had great puck skills and poise, Reinbacher has been handling it like a live grenade thus far. He's not as bad as he's been so far, but he's also not anywhere near as good as Pietrangelo was at the same age.

All the forwards suck , If Laine was playing at least him and Lane could two man show it

 

[Sagikev]

Michkov first. But even Leonard would have been insane....We worked really hard at making a crapshoot draft even more crapshoot...all that for needs. I will always hate needs. The only way needs could be explained is a team so deep in posiitons with YOUNG players that you can concentrate elsewhere.

I have no idea how they thought we were deep enough on the wings to not go BPA....anyway.

Again, Might be 2 full years in the AHL for Rein.

Yeah imagine adding Leonard and Demidov to our top 6... That would be insane. Hopefully Reinbacher pans out, we can be patient though so there's that

 

[Bouboumaster]

And yet we're only down by a goal with a subpar lineup against the top figs

Is that suppose to be good?

Like, are we suppose to ignore the fact that the shots are 13 to 3, like it doesn't matter or something?
