I think I\u2019m just trying to establish who I am as a player to the coaching staff and the management, showing them what I can bring to help the team win and better the team.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: After recently crossing the 70-game mark in your NHL career, what have you learned about your game so far?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: I think you\u2019ve just got to adapt a little bit in different situations. From junior, to the American League, to the NHL, it\u2019s just finding a way my to be the most effective I can be.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: With that, how nice has it been to get to play more than 50 games this season and really get a feel for what it\u2019s like to be a regular in the NHL?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: It\u2019s everyone dream to do that in a season. It\u2019s pretty cool. Now there\u2019s always a sense of wanting more and trying to build off what you\u2019ve built already.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: Time for some quick hitters! What\u2019s your favorite food?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: I like pizza lot.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: What\u2019s the ideal pizza?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: A thin crust deluxe.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: What\u2019s your favorite movie?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: I\u2019ll go with Step Brothers. No, wait, Grown Ups. That\u2019s a classic.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: What\u2019s your favorite TV show?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: The prequels to Yellowstone. They&#8217;re 1883 and 1923.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: Other than hockey, what\u2019s something else you\u2019re really good at?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: Hmm. I\u2019m a pretty good carpenter. Just natural skills I\u2019ve picked up on the ranch. Actually, I\u2019m also really good at driving a skid steer. It\u2019s like a Bobcat.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: If you weren\u2019t a hockey player, what would you be?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: If I had to pick another sport, probably golf.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: I know you\u2019ve been on the road a lot since you joined the Panthers, but do you have a favorite spot to grab a bite to eat in South Florida yet?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: Takato is a good one. I\u2019ve been there in the past, too. Good spot. It\u2019s a chain, but I also love CAVA.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: Which teammates do you spend the most time with away from the rink?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: Probably (Donovan) Sebrango. Just the younger crew, guys like (Cole) Schwindt, Samo (Mackie Samoskevich) and Dodge (Sebrango).<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: You and Sebrango played a bit in the AHL together, right?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: Yep, three years.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: What\u2019s your favorite hockey memory to date?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: Probably just all the firsts \u2013 first game, first point, first goal.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: Where do those pucks live these days?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: They\u2019re at home. I think they\u2019re in a drawer. I need to frame them.<\/p>\n<p>OLIVE: What\u2019s the best advice you\u2019ve received in your career?<\/p>\n<p>REINHARDT: That\u2019s a good question. I\u2019m a guy that&#8217;s just tried to pick everyone\u2019s brain. Whoever it is, from goalies to D-men to forwards, anyone that\u2019s been in the league a long time. I try to learn as much as I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OLIVE: As one of the new guys, what are some of your goals for the rest of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5102],"tags":[62,57,5141,5,4,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-531660","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-florida-panthers","8":"tag-florida","9":"tag-florida-panthers","10":"tag-floridapanthers","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-panthers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116320119305550190","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
