Morin time.

 

[Hurricane28]

Morin should be the guy up but lets see if they play him. If they're not going to roll three rookies on the blue line, then just bring up Alt. Interested to see what the pairs are.

My offering to Jobu has payed off!

Unless Manning plays instead of Morin. In that case, f*** you Jobu

 

[Hurricane28]

Hagg-Ghost have been very good, but I think they might have to break them up.

Provorov-Hagg
Morin-Ghost
Sanheim-Gudas

 

[Rebels57]

Provorov - Gudas
Ghost - Hagg
Morin - Sanheim

Makes the most sense to me.

Provorov-Hagg
Morin-Ghost
Sanheim-Gudas

That seems like the most logical thing to do. Hagg and Provorov played together enough in preseason as did Morin-Ghost. But I have a feeling Manning just takes MacDonald's spot.

Get well soon Andy. Perfect opportunity for big Sam to step in.

Honestly, my guess is that Manning plays until he's super terrible and gets benched.

Maybe for Tuesday, but I can't see him being used with Provy till December.

 

[Flyerss]

please Hakstol, no Manning in and Morin as the 7th guy

 

[kudymen]

I.e. he will come back before Christmas. What a shitty Christmas present

 

[FLYguy3911]

It's inevitable there will be changes, but that's how I think they'll start out. The problem is, are they gonna keep Morin around as the 7th D?

 

[Foggy14]

Sure wish we had a kid, like this, in the system who could step right in.

 

[Hurricane28]

I just can't see anyway that they just bring Morin up not to play. I hope it's Morin they call up but if they plan on putting Manning in, I think it's going to be Alt.

 

[Rebels57]

I cant see anyway that dress Manning. Doesnt make sense pairings wise.

Get well soon Andy. Perfect opportunity for big Sam to step in.

I agree with everything but the "soon." Andy, take all the time you need, and make sure you're 100% first. Call on Embiid's doctors, if needed; they'll know best when to clear you.

If they call him up I'd expect him to play at least as many games as he sits. There are 17 games left in Oct/Nov.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Time for Morin to shine and show that we don't need AMac.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I cant see anyway that dress Manning.

 

[Peacekeeper]

YES!!!! I mean noo!!!! Sorry Macdonald <\3

Please call up Morin and be done with it, he is a fn beast

 

[Sawdalite]

This is not going to be a popular statement... but it's the truth... this is a serious injury for the Season... like it or not, AMac is an important piece and played large minutes... and was playing well... and Provo and Team were playing well with him in there... long range it may be good for Morin and kids... but if we want to keep pace and do anything this Season, it is a huge loss... agree with that or not.
Now flame away... I'm expecting it.

 

[Alchemy]

The reactions on twitter are pathetic. It makes me genuinely feel bad for the guy.

We all know Manning will be the one that plays. I'm not getting my hopes up about Morin being called up until i see it.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Farmer >>> Mandog so this is bad news,,,, unless we actually play Morin. If they don't plan tho, recall a press box fodder guy.

But oh boy if they put big Sammy in the lineup !!

It all depends on how the younger defenseman respond. Amac has his warts but i think he has got to the point of being underrated. He does do some things well. His consistency and low hockey IQ is what makes you scratch your head. Because he is a good skater and has above average puck moving skills.
