When was that?
From what he has shown already Pinto is going to be a great player. He isn't just showing a few flashes here and there, he is a showing a structured game and an incredible IQ.
He isn't shying away physically and he has made room to get his shot off a few times already as well.
Still can't believe there was a thought his skating was a weakness (or even, "his weakest skill") - he is quick, agile and strong on his skates.
Feels good after all these years of prospects to watch a few come in and look legit pretty much right away with others that seem close to showing the same.
I thought he came back to earth a bit in game two (to be expected) but still played just fine.
His skating stride is a bit wonky but he gets around well so it shouldn't be an issue. He'll have a fairly long NHL career.
