Morin

[phil162888]

First star of the game!!!!!!! I think we should protect him over Sanheim.. In all seriousness he was the bright spot tonight. This team actually showed some heart. Now if they can eliminate leaving players wide open we may have something....

Oh good, another thread.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

If he dropped his gloves, I'd skate off the ice fast!

Oh good, another thread.

He deserves it after all he's been through and with all the negative posters on here (that mock him) I'm happy he did his job and did it well tonight. Maybe next next game is a disaster for him but he was good tonight in almost every aspect for a guy most have mocked

Oh good, another thread.

The worst

 

[Cousins27]

He was really good tonight. Its concerning that management and coaching staff didnt think he could help them on d. He adds an element that we havent had in a long time. If he doesnt get a consistent chance I wont be happy

 

[Defmincex13]

love it. Shame the league has gone the way of wanting 18 Simon Gagne's on every roster.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

Morin is LOVE

 

[Maurice of Orange]

So Morin is not a bust anymore because he had 1 decent game against the Rangers and beat up Brenden Lemieux...right.

Well no but it's an encouraging sign.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve wanted to see Morin succeed and become the big defensive defenseman that this team desperately needs but he has made mistakes in the past as far as turning the puck over when being pressed on the forecheck like other Flyer defenseman and his skating was/is kinda slow or an NHL level defenseman could be from the knee surgery’s.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Morin get a shot but in the end I don’t think Morin is a long term solution. The Flyers need to retool just about their entire defense and get rid of the entire piss poor coaching staff.

 

[deadhead]

We have no real idea what Morin can't or can do.
He basically hasn't played for two years and had surgery on both knees.
On the other hand, he moved pretty well out there.

If you keep your expectations low, he may meet them, 3rd pair D-man playing 15 minutes a night and adding a physical dimension to a soft team.

Kid deserves a shot, I think he's a perfect #6/7 Dman in the NHL. Most of our Defense turn the puck over and get beat on the outside.

He's not perfect and everything you wrote is valid but the kid is tough, decent outlet passes, long reach and tough as nails, great for PK. If a coach shows confidence in him I think he can be a valuable player. If your looking to send him down soon as he makes a mistake then you might as well have never even given him a chance. The toughness and PK ability alone should have him in our line up for at least 10 games. If he plays well... keep him if not, he's gone for good. Like I've been posting for last few weeks its worth a shot

amen..... key is to keep expectations low.. He's not Pronger, he's going to turn pucks over occasionally under pressure (like all D especially ours) and he's going to get beat by fast and smaller players to the outside.... its going to happen... Accept those things and utilise his strengths and you may have something real useful for a coach to use. Literally,for now its worth a try

Morin is the anti-Flyers now, he has a heart and shame.

Like 70% of the people on here have lost their entire grip on reality. It’s as morbidly entertaining as the games.

Ill take your word for it.

 

[baudib1]

they gave up 8 goals

He and Ghost were easily the best Flyer defencemen in the game.

Therefore they both will be benched for Saturday's game.

They probably played the least

Coaching staff <<<<< Morin tonight

 

[1865]

First star on a night where we conceded 8 again. Bravo.

 

[Limeyjim]

He's a career AHL player.
