Morin is apparently still a little ginger from the foot injury he suffered in April.

 

[Funf]

Maybe this explains it:

Anthony Mingioni @AnthonyMingioni
“@nsahockey2013: @AnthonyMingioni how is Morins'foot he was in walking boot during playoffs” moving ok at times, other times: gingerly.
---------
Re: last tweet. This is Morin's first time on ice since the Q playoffs. Gingerly movment is to be expected. #Flyers

That might be contributing to it, but I'd imagine it's pretty standard for a 6'7", 19 year old kid to be having issues with it. The biggest thing I noticed is his turns were a little wide.

Anyway, I didn't get to see him last year - so he may have improved on it, but it didn't look as bad as a lot of people made it out to be. Probably something he still has to work on, but I don't think he's that far off. I was pleasantly surprised.

Anthony Stolarz was not on the ice today because “he had surgery on his hip†according to Hextall. Not sure when that surgery was.

You're absolutely right!

 

[Danko]

Morin looks like hes gonna be a monster. He still looks super young in the face but hes 224 already?


Morin is 6'7 224

Pronger by comparison was 6 ft 6 220 lb when he played

Not saying that has anything to do with anything but just think that kid is huge.

In the bold is how I and everyone around me pronounces it.

Thanks!

Stolarz had surgery about five weeks ago, Hextall said. He'll be out of commission for the next month.

Is it the hip surgery the same one a lot of young goalies get? I read about that being a thing somewhere on HFB.

That's all the information that has been released thus far.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

This is a bit more info...

The surgery happened five weeks ago, although it's unclear if it was related to a prior injury. The Jackson, N.J. native won't be on the ice at all during the development camp and won't take part in on-ice activities for about a month.

[LegionOfDoom91]

There's interviews from today with Morin, Gostisbehere, Laughton, & Sanheim on the Flyers website. I posted the Sanheim one in his thread but couldn't find a way to get the correct links for the the other three to post them here.

Whats up with Ghoulbourne? As much as people hate this guy, i like him. He looked good from when i saw him in the Whl this year! And would look cool on the fourth line. I know he denied the AHL contract. So what's he doing now? Can someone bring me up to speed?

I like his fighting style, throws a ton of punches and fast, I wish i could see more of his offense.

Love this...

He's trying to earn an NHL contract at the big camp.

"In three or four years, maybe all of us are up at the NHL level," the 19-year-old Swede said. "It would be as fun as can be. It would be really fun if me, Ghost, Morin and Sanheim could be a top four in the Flyers in four years."

My boy Willcox getting some love:

Reese Willcox - 6-4, 193 - D - He’s one of the best defenseman in camp. He was a whiz at the one-handed drill and his skating keeps improving. He’s a smart, simple, defenseman and he did play in all situations for Cornell.

[LegionOfDoom91]

With his face clearing up & him getting bigger & older looking Morin is looking more like a young Dolph Lundgren.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

My boy Willcox getting some love:

Metzler gave him some love today as well.

 

[Striiker]

Best case scenario is Goulbourne ends up like a Rinaldo that can actually play hockey.

I really liked this quote from Hagg:

"You should have pressure on you because you're a high pick and you're treated well," he said. "They treat you very well and you should be successful. You owe them back success."

He sets a really, really high standard for himself. His comments after the WJC speak to that, too, I think.

I'm not his biggest fan here, but I like his attitude at least.

 

[FlyTimmo]

The best thing about Wilcox is that he is a righty. If things work out well for him maybe he could be a nice 3rd pairing defenseman for us.

I heard it was just body modification, like tattoos or piercings. But in his case, he wanted to have Emery hips installed.
