I was shocked at Pinto’s play. This kid looks like a vet after 3 games.

Is there an of age counterfeiting option, like when you turn 18 it's ok, or is it like a rental car where you need to be 21?
Faceoff machine, Shane Pinto, 0/8 tonight.
Can easily say it's been rough for him in the faceoff circle so far. Otherwise, looks very comfortable out there and doesn't look out of place either! With a bit of luck, he could have had 2-3 goals by now.

Wouldn't it be great if Pinto turns out to be a better player than Caulfield? That would really shake up Hab fans.
Rookies always get jobbed by the refs in the faceoff circle (by letting vets cheat, and not letting them answer with their own cheating)

Refs already trying to end Caufields career and give the inside track to Pinto
Head up kid!Refs already trying to end Caufields career and give the inside track to Pinto
If Caulfield goes down that easily when running into a ref wait until he encounters the wrath of Brady Tkachuk!
If he can’t see that coming his going to get blasted trying to carry the puck

I guess there is a big difference between taking faceoffs against college guys & NHL pros.
I really like what I see in Pinto so far seems like a smart guy who tracks the puck & is very positionally sound, clearly very well coached & already NHL ready size wise & skillset. If L. Brown ever gets it together they could form a decent 2nd line with Stutzle at LW & Pinto moved to RW.
I fear Logan is fading slowly out of the picture similar to Back To The Future.
He started out solid in the dot but the Canucks are one of the best in the league. I am curious to see how he does the rest of the way.

Horvat , Miller and Sutter are tough at the dot.. All the C struggled for the most part. Been saying for a while they need a good faceoff coach.. they are putting in the work

He will learn through experience for sure. Do we have a coach who can help in on face-offs? If not, we should hire an expert part-time to work with all of our centers and wingers who will take -over if the C gets tossed.
I am glad he is getting the ice-time to learn. Too bad JBD is not getting treated the same way.

It would be great.
NHL Network had a piece on Caufield. Kid has a lot of high skill moves. No attempt to knock Pinto or make any prediction on either players path forwards - just throwing out info on Caufield.
Love to see Pinto and Formenton get some goals before the end of the season.

Huh? 0 percent chance he goes to the AHL. He’s been amazing
I’d imagine Jesse Winchester helps with that. He was good on draws and is in a player development role.

Stutzle and Pinto are building great chemistry. Both are high IQ players.

I think he has a higher ceiling than whats believed around here. He already looks better than most centres in the league every game and he is still under 10 games in. Excited to see what he does next year with the work he puts in on the off season.
I'm a big fan and I hated the draft pick at the time.
