Reinhart’s 60 goals this year breaks a franchise record held by Pavel Bure
It has become a running joke with the Florida Panthers. Ask coach Paul Maurice about Sam Reinhart, and he will say something less than glowing about his team’s top goal scorer.“He’s mean to small animals, squirrels especially.”
Here is what Florida’s coach considers the best part, and there’s no metric for this on the stat sheet: Maurice simply raves about how smart Reinhart is, saying he is one of the very smartest he’s ever coached. “He is awesome,” Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky said. “He can score from any position. He’s smart. He’s not only scoring goals but he’s a key player on the penalty kill as well and in the defensive zone. It’s so much fun to see him have that success.”
“I think when you get off to a better start, it makes everything else easier,” he said. “It’s allowed me to not really focus on anything personal. It might have been a little bit harder had I got off to a poor start — but, fortunately, didn’t have to go down that road.” “When he hit the 50-goal mark, I wondered how many other 50-goal scorers I’ve coached,” Maurice said.
