Damn what a choke job

Damn what a choke job

huge choke job in the game and in the series. Morin played so so bad this game. He really needs to get his act together in his own end and in terms of penalties.

 

[Stizzle]

Rimouski loses in OT 8-7. Morin only played breifly in the 3rd and no shifts in OT. He stayed on the bench and did shake hands after the game, but looked very gimpy.

 

[Prongo]

Morin, IMO isn't as bad as Jtown tries to make him out to be defensively. Even at the draft his defense wasn't question it was whether the offense would come around or not. We can see what the kid does with first unit PP time. I will admit I didn't see tonight but he was injured according to reports and like Stizzle said he didn't go in overtime. When I watched him he was great in his own zone(probably 10 times+ this year) and was a game changer at points with his physical play and also his offense. I actually am the most excited about him probably because I have seen him play the most out of any of our junior prospects.

The penalties are nothing I am concerned about. I love that he is nasty, and wouldn't want my 6'7 defenseman any other way. He needs to play like that, he can change a game with his size. When he reaches the pros, vets will help him change his ways somewhat, when to take these chances and penalties. Pronger was the most hot headed player I have ever seen but I loved every minute of his dirty way.

Well if he's healthy, I would imagine Morin will be added to the list of black aces just for the practice experience heading into this summer & camp.

Is it possible for him to play in any ADK games? If so I would pay some serious $$$ to watch that online.

 

[Jtown]

Morin is not as physical as you think. He never plays the body , instead using his reach to poke check.

I have seen Morin play physical plenty, especially in the neutral zone. I would like to see him be more aggressive in his own zone with checking but he has made a fair share of clean hits on the boards or in the open ice when teams are coming through center ice.

In your own end it's either you play the puck or you play the man. I would like to see him play the man more often but he doesn't shy away from any kind of physical game. With his development he will get better with that, especially in the NHL.

They have a game tomorrow night, Friday, & Saturday to wrap up the year.

I doubt tomorrow night is a possibility but maybe Friday & Saturday is depending on his health.

As far as eligibility he's alright to go in these games now.

That would be pretty awesome to see Ghost, Hagg and Morin all in the lineup.

 

[Jtown]

Morin suffered a strained achilles during the game.

Awesome... ...

 

[SergeConstantin74]

It looked like it was a choke but Rimouski was depleted with injuries. Morin with the strained achilles, Kostalek and Zrahal with fractured wrists. Their veteran on defense Jimmy Oligny was also missing the game because of a suspension. Captain Ryan MacKinnon played despite an injury because Oligny couldn't. Morin, Kostalek, Oligny and MacKinnon are their top 4 on defense.

Rimouski had the best defense in the league. They didn't have the best offense. Without a complete top 4 on defense, they were doomed.

Tyler Myers says "Hi".

 

[flyersfan018]

Tyler Myers says "Hi".

The same guy who's been pretty much a giant disappointment since his rookie season?

 

[Broad Street Elite]

Tyler Myers says "Hi".

Pretty sure what he's saying is "If you're going to be 6'7", you should use that to your maximum advantage"

For all his upside, Myers does not have the snarl you would want in a man his size, though he does use his size to a degree, particularly in terms of reach.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

Morin suffered a strained achilles during the game.

Think that ends any chance he gets some Phantoms games in.

Alright Sam. Go home, rest up and hit the weight room. Get stronger, come to camp and turn heads.

 

[Jack Straw]

Sounds like Morin strained his Achilles tendon:

"Samuel Morin suffered a strained Achilles tendon. He tried to come back but it was impossible"

Edit: oops, someone beat me to it.

And go back to the Q. He's not done there yet.

being up 4-0 after one period is a choke job no matter how you look at it

 

[flyershockey]

Is he considered a lock for the WJC team, or is that still up in the air?

 

[tymed]

Can't see him not making the team at this point.

Edit: But then again.... Giroux isn't good enough for Hockey Canada so unless he has ties with Crosby he may not be good enough.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Morin suffered a strained achilles during the game.

It always seems like this kid is missing games either due to injury or suspension. Hope that trend doesn't carry over to the NHL.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He does. Both played at Rimouski.

 

[BleedOrange]

The final 2 games of the 8 games Stolarz was originally suspended for have been waived. He's now eligible for the Memorial Cup.

One worry the Knights won’t have is the status of goalie Anthony Stolarz. Despite only serving six games of his eight-game suspension picked up against Windsor, the OHL has waived the final two and he will be eligible to play immediately.
