Where can you watch the game?

There should be a stream available when puck drop approaches. The quality isn't good but that's how I watch almost all of the AHL games I see.

If I find one I'll be sure to post it.

I knew someone was gonna make this joke as soon as I hit submit reply.

Anyway, Hagg's first NA game should start at 7pm. Sucks I won't get to see the whole thing because of the Flyers game. Oh well.

The game is tonight?

You can't honestly say Stolarz was aiming for his head. You have to take into account the weight of a goalie stick. Did he mean to slash him? Yes. Did he mean to slash him in the head? Doubt it.

Where the hell else could he have been aiming for? If we're going to say the weight of the goalie stick should be taken into account, wouldn't he have hit lower than he aimed? Sorry, that's a BS excuse for a BS moment of stupidity by Stolarz.

He'll get a slap on the wrist by the league (which is a joke unto itself), and hopefully learns that that was a stupid, dangerous, effing thing to do, regardless of how much a ********* Ho Sang is.

Indeed.

I automatically assumed of course that he would be in tonight's game. Haven't heard an official word yet but based on this comment by Homer I'd think he'd have to be playing tonight.

"He's a good all-around player," Paul Holmgren said about Hägg. "Strong and physically well-developed. (We're looking at him as) a steady two-way guy. I think his ability to move the puck is exceptional. And I think his ability to play defense is exceptional. Playing over there (in Europe) vs. playing over here, the reaction time has got to get better because of the smaller ice-surface. So the number of games he can get in with the Phantoms I think is real crucial and key for his development."

How do you mean taking into account the weight of a goalie stick? Logically, that would mean that Stolarz was aiming over Ho-Sang's head.

According to Bob Rotruck Hagg is not playing tonight.

Stolarz gone for 8 games.

Not really surprising the OHL are pretty extreme when it comes to suspensions compared to their counterparts in the QMJHL & WHL.

Hopefully for London they can lose some games now in the series with Windsor & try not to get swept by Guelph next round so he can play in the Memorial Cup, otherwise he just ruined their season with that move.

Morin continues to be misunderstood... I know that offense is not his bread and butter, but to project him as a pure defensive defensemen seems slightly unfair. It's still nice to see these guys on the list, though.

Stolarz gone for 8 games.

Ouch.

What's better is that Laughton wasn't even in the top 50 in the fall .

I don't think Guelph will sweep London, but they could take them out in 5, meaning that Stolarz would miss the first two round robin games in the Memorial Cup.

Majority of the list so far weren't on the fall rankings.

Update: Terry Murray says the current plan is to play Hagg on Saturday for his debut. Give him a couple days get used to smaller ice first.

 

[Hockeypete49]

Stolarz gone for 8 games.

About right after I saw the replay. London is a very good team but he will be missed. I hope the young man learned his lesson because it looks like he has a very bright future.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Actually just reading an article if Stolarz was to enter the Memorial Cup with games left on his suspension he could appeal it & get a reduction so he could play right away possibly, it has happened before with two other players one of them being former Flyer draft pick Chris Simon.

I really don't get this. Maybe they're afraid he'll get hurt or something. Otherwise the best way to get used to the ice size is by playing. I mean the phantoms are the worst team in the league he's won't be hurting there playoffs chances if he makes a mistake or something. Even though I can guarantee that he's better then at least half the d-men on the current roster.

Morin just scored on a seeing eye wrister for Rim. 2-0 already.

Just got an assist as well. 3-0

He's on his way to breaking his regular season number soon at this rate.

Morin's offense seems to really come alive during the playoffs. It seemed to have carried over a bit last year, so hopefully this is a sign of more to come!

I'm only looking at the numbers though, has anybody been able to actually watch him? How's the rest of his game going?

I am watching the game right now. He has looked pretty good. He makes the simple play you look for players to make. One play in the game he was being pressured when the puck was in the air. He caught it, put it down, and made a quick but very clean pass to a forward. It was a beautiful sequence. Defensively, his pairing seems to be never in the defensive zone.

I will say the one bad play he made tonight was he tried to do too much with the puck at the blue line and had to take it to center. Even then he made a quick pass to his partner and it was back in though.

I have watched him several time this year(over 8 now) and he keeps impressing me. Keeping my hopes down but I am getting excited from what I have seen. Which really doesn't account for anything lol.

Awesome, thanks for the reply.

Morin is going to be so good. He is freaky in the same way lindros was freaky. You dont see 6'7 guys that can skate the way he can and that play with that type of physicality.

 

[Prongo]

Morin draws a penalty with a nice delay move at the blue line and then the opposing player slashed his stick out of his hand.

They will start the second with 1:58 I think of PP time.

The more and more I watch him play the more and more I can see why he was such a high pick. He controls the game and while I have watched him I have yet to see him make a horrible defensive play.
