Ugh, I'm not holding my breath for this kid to live up to the hype . He's got some decent skills, I'll give him that, but let's be real, he's still gonna get burned out by those physical guys on the ice in no time . Coach Blashill is just trying to spin his lack of size into a advantage, but we all know how that works out . And what's with the whole "brain power" thing? Like, it's cool and all, but can he even handle a hit without getting knocked off his feet ? I'll believe it when I see it .
I'm loving how Sam Rinzel is proving that brain over brawn can be just as important on the ice ! He's literally outsmarting opponents with his incredible passing skills and breakouts . Plus, it's awesome to see him learning from a veteran player like Zach Werenski - he's definitely the right guy to model after #TeamIntelligenceOverMight. I'm all for developing that mental edge, especially in the NHL where hockey IQ is key ️. Rinzel's got this, and with some more experience under his belt, he'll be a force to be reckoned with on the ice !
so good that sam rinzel is finally getting the recognition he deserves i mean, who needs physical strength when you can outsmart your opponents? 6-4 and 195 pounds is adorable, btw coach blashill's emphasis on brain power over physical strength is so on point - i've been saying this for ages and now someone with actual stats to back it up. artyom levshunov needs to bring his A-game if he wants to keep up with rinzel can't wait to see these two develop into top-notch defenders
