Fantastic work MSE!

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Fantastic work MSE!

Thank you. I was gripped by the haunting spirit of Capt. Dave Poulin's past craftwork.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Thank you. I was gripped by the haunting spirit of Capt. Dave Poulin's past craftwork.

He is an evil genius

 

[Tripod]

Michael Keaton!

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

He is an evil genius

You get him for the opening week of December. He plays the starring role. Be prepared.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

You get him for the opening week of December. He plays the starring role. Be prepared.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Need Hagg to save our season.

 

[baudib1]

Those 1997 highlights were amazing.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Keep Morin and Hart in. Tighten up the D and make sure we score more than 3.

 

[deadhead]

If they get pushed around by the F----g Pens, time for Fletcher to hit the phones.

 

[Striiker]

I wonder if they’re going to be smart enough to call up Frost or if they want to keep Glass 2.0 in the lineup.

 

[AdamParrot]

There will be Elliott as a starter. No doubt.

 

[dats81]

I would start Elliot and have Hart against NJ.
But what do I know?

Neither motivation nor fatigue should be an issue this time.

 

[Jtown]

Those 1997 highlights were amazing.

ninimmaa and prospal were two guys we should have never traded away.

 

[AdamParrot]

I'm going to watching this live (not on replay)!

We are 5-0 when I've been watching live.

So there is a chance to win.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

There’s no way you start Hart here. He’s a wreck.

 

[MorgantiDrinksBlood]

So I guess Morin is just actually a bust? Definitely doesn’t belong in the NHL, sucks had high hopes for him. Not Pronger hopes but he’s clearly not an NHL talent, sad.

 

[wankstifier]

Thank you. I was gripped by the haunting spirit of Capt. Dave Poulin's past craftwork.

RIP

 

[deadhead]

So I guess Morin is just actually a bust? Definitely doesn’t belong in the NHL, sucks had high hopes for him. Not Pronger hopes but he’s clearly not an NHL talent, sad.

I'd give him a few games, but he certainly did nothing to affirm the faith of those who were sure he was an upgrade over Hagg.
He's more Giraffe than Grizzly Bear.

 

[dats81]

So far Vignault has apparently followed the putting young players in spots to succeed philosophy.
If he stays the course in regard to Morin, he will hopefully keep him in the lineup for at least a couple of games and it's up to him to make an impression. Phil Myers is knocking down the door.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I would be surprised if Sam got another (non-injury) chance. A couple nightmare shifts is all it takes. Even then, Myers will likely get the call if there is a long term injury.

 

[dragonoffrost]

You can't judge a guy who has not played many hockey games in the last 2 years due to injury in one NHL game. They will let him get a couple under his belt then make a decision. I think they've seen enough of Hagg to know he's at best a sheltered #6.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I doubt that very much. If they were that concerned about Sam not playing, they would have played him in the second half of that game. They were down 3 goals. Second half of a back-to-back. He was more or less benched.
