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

[Canadienna]

Struble just took ownership of the PK goal on RDS interview.

@OldCraig71

To be fair he could just be being nice. But yeah I wondered if it was Strubes based on his reaction.

Lol I mean... is 89 a f***ing idiot or..?

my favorite part is the pat on the rear at the end

 

[Tyson]

Same geniuses who shit on Slaf I’m guessing.

 

[CharleyHorse]

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

Right? Those two dots you pointed out - he's a teenager, and he's not ready - aren't exactly on opposite sides of the map, but somehow people still manage to miss the connection.

Probably yes

Not jumping anything. See my last post. I'm sending him down in Laval...and I'M forgetting about him. See him next preseason hopefully to see progression. The only thing I'm saying is that it's not a typical top 5 pick. And based on Hughes comment, was mostly picked on needs. That's all I'm saying.

As opposed to who though? People keep bringing up Michkov, it’s been clear that it was never an option from either an attitude standpoint or him simply wanting to pick a big US city.

Leonard? So a complimentary forward like Tkachuk. That’s nice, but again, who could see that type of progression for him?

I mean Mailloux was an absolute garbage defender in London. A year later he’s an AHL all-star and a year after that we are saying he could be an NHLer. Barron is like 30 years old and finally breaking out. These kids take time. I’m not worried. Laval was always the plan.

 

[sampollock]

Love the idea of playing these young guys tonight young guys want to show what they can do here's your chance

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Struble just said "that goal on the PP was on me"

I like that

 

[Habby4Life]

Kapanen and Roy were solid in the first game, but even them are ASS tonight
Same with Newhook

Because they are playing nhlers, lol

 

[BLONG7]

reminds me of the subban neck injury

WTF was Robertson thinking there????

 

[Habs]

I don't get why people jump on Reinbacher in particular, IMO, the entire team didn't showed off tonight

Kid will be good when he gets to 23 or 24 years old

maybe even by 30

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Yeah I’m sure you scouted and watched Pietrangelo’s NHL preseason games at age 19yo 15 years ago

I watched Pietrangelo plenty in Barrie and at the world juniors at the same age you goof.

He also followed that up by dropping 43 points in the NHL his rookie season. If Reinbacher ever drops 43 points in a season I'll be very surprised. I hope he surprises me, but I don't see it happening.

 

[jrom]

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

Same people that whined for a year about Slaf.

 

[Tyson]

We are watching management put together a group of really good young players and maybe we should just enjoy the ride especially during meaningless pre season games. Most of these kids shouldn't be on the ice with an actual NHL team who does not want to lose their 3rd straight pre season game

 

[Team_Spirit]

Lol I mean... is 89 a f***ing idiot or..?

League minimum guy stops skating and he is pushing the 11M golden boy with concussion issues to backcheck...in a glorified scrimmage.

*that was so lazy and unnecessary*

Teams read HFBoards during games, confirmed.

 

[Nedved]

Kapanen needs to step it up if he wants a spot.

There you go, in the OHL and world juniors you goof. Not against an elite NHL team. If you’re gonna insult me, at least show a bit of logic with your comparisons

 

[Rapala]

Dobesh also really attacks the shooter he looks huge , no lack of confidence when he plays that's for sure. Even the goal it had to be a tap in

That glove save while remaining standing was all solid mechanics.

 

[Vachon23]

Yeah I’m sure you scouted and watched Pietrangelo’s NHL preseason games at age 19yo 15 years ago

Even Max Lapierre who played with him said that he didn’t look that good during training camp because of his style

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Nobody says to not be relax , but he isn't showing anything special. He has no elite tools. Elite aspects dont grow in ur mid 20s

He's a 19 year old skating right up there with some of the best men in the world it's not like he's getting burnt out there on every shift on the contrary, hes engaging physically, he's not gonna be the first dman to have an egregiously bad shift against NHL competition lmao

 

[Nevins]

I remember Slafkovsky in his first 30 games. He looked lost and not a first draft pick. Over time he learned quickly. Let's be patient with Reinbacher....

So your comparing playing against OHLer and playing against Toronto best forward ? Good evaluation!

 

[ChikN]

Dobes looks legit. In control.

 

[Rapala]

Kapanen needs to step it up if he wants a spot.

They gave him a very tough assignment as they did Beck possibly to calm down some of the hype.
