We should see Reinbacher used on the power play tonight in Belleville. We saw him practicing these sequences earlier this morning.

Sean Couturier’s agent has questions… and would like explanations https://t.co/I7ESWB7e9U

As can be read in this Agence QMI text, Couturier doesn’t know why his coach, who used to communicate with him, started acting this way.
The captain’s agent, Erik Lupien, says his client doesn’t understand what’s going on because there’s no communication involved.
He had no idea why he had less ice time and why his usage has decreased. – Erik Lupien on Sean Couturier
Obviously, now that his playing time doesn’t exist, he’s more inclined to ask for answers. That said, it’s obviously impossible to get any right now.
Sound management with a captain, don’t you think?
It’s all very well to hear people trying to humanize Torts, but stories like this remind us that, if the agent’s version is true, the coach is one hell of a sparrow.
In the middle of a playoff race, that’s special.

Is the agent making such comments to protect his client, whose performances have declined recently? I don’t think so, but it’s a theory I’m raising anyway.

– David Reinbacher on PK tonight?
– Hire referees to better understand the rules?
Friedman on 32TP: “I had someone say to me, I wonder if teams are going to start hiring referees either as consultants or to work with their players or their coaching staff about the rule book”
Marek: “Hang on, you know who did that in Winnipeg? Paul Maurice”

That would be complicated… and it just goes to show how good he is. https://t.co/F8gAlJKvxN
