“I’m really very impressed” : Pascal Vincent loves Reinbacher’s work

David Reinbacher has only played four games since his return to the game.

But that’s enough for his coach, Pascal Vincent, to praise him.

The Rocket’s manager likes his defenseman’s performance and isn’t afraid to talk about it in the media either.

In a recent interview published on the Rocket’s website, Vincent says he is “really very” impressed by Reinbacher lately.

And he didn’t say that by chance.

He chose his words carefully to explain how well Reinbacher is playing:

I’m really very impressed. It’s pretty rare that I say that about a young defenseman. – Pascal Vincent

That’s good, honestly.

We knew Reinbacher would take time to fully recover – and that hasn’t happened yet – but seeing that he doesn’t seem like a tourist on the ice to his coach is good news in itself.

Because obviously, we also know that the drafted defenseman, picked 5th overall in 2023, has great potential.

We know that with his size and style, he’ll be able to help the Canadiens in Montreal in a few years… But we also know that for that to happen, he must be able to progress as needed.

That being said, I really think the CH has handled his injury well.

The organization decided to keep him with the team so he could still be involved, and that’s definitely helping him right now in Laval, because the Rocket and the Canadiens have a very similar system on the ice.

Again, we should be happy for the kid. It was really complicated in Kloten last year, and he was disappointed not to be able to prove himself at the last camp due to his serious injury, but he seems to be on the right track now.

That’s what’s important, in the end.


In a hurry

– Jake Evans is happy.

– Ivan Demidov got an assist today (with 16:57 of ice time).

– To be continued.
