Morins a ****ing beast.

Also these refs...

How the hell is that not a roughing minor or something to even it up? 2 Americans players just start shoving Miele while play is going on

Plus the dive on the initial call.

The AHL is a circus. Not quite like it used to be, but still a circus.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

They can't find decent referees for the NHL - I can't imagine how bad their AHL counterparts are.

NM...

Looking forward to the Morin ragdoll clip!

NM...

Let me guess...wondering why Sanheim's shifts the last 5 minutes kept going to Hagg? I was thinking that myself. Trust him to shutdown top lines and take on the toughest d minutes, but then skip his shifts late? All while still playing the two defensively suspect vets, and even together at times? Huh.

You guys know me too well.

RECAP: The Lehigh Valley Phantoms continue to fire pucks on net, racking up 48 shots on goal tonight in a big 4-3 win over the Rochester Americans to kick off a six game homestand.

Gordon's got them going.

Well he did get two 15 second shifts.

I'm still trying to figure out the plan with him. Presumably they want him to polish up his defensive game. Understandable. You would think defending a 1 goal lead late in the game might be a good experience for him though. It's not like he hasn't shown to be a capable defender at that level. And what has Robert Hagg done between last year and this year to get those minutes? Sure he's playing better, but he's hardly a difference maker in those situations. He left Justin Bailey all alone tonight for no reason in what should have tied the game.

I can somewhat understand limiting Sanheim offensively to focus defensively. That makes sense to me, but it doesn't seem to me that he's getting enough opportunities in that area either. I know Bill told us not to question management's plan and maybe he's right. I don't have experience in player development, but I do know you need to play to develop. There is no substitute for playing. It feels like there are times in a game where he goes 5-6 minutes of game time without a shift. That seems absurd to me.

Thanks as always Tony

Was looking for highlights of Sanheim's goal and Morin's fight, and found this:



Kinda choppy/crappy highlights, but the best I've found as of yet.

Here's the Morin ragdoll. I'm on mobile and can't figure out how to embed the tweet.

I wish I had kept the sound off for that

 

[FLYguy3911]

Carter Hart is returning to human levels.

The sound makes that extra-special.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Carter Hart is returning to human levels.

Not his best game. 4 goals on 21 shots but stopped all 3 shots in the shootout and made it look easy.

Carter Hart is returning to human levels.

Possibly he had one foot on the plane tonight. He has bigger fish to fry starting in a couple days.

having watched AHL hockey for 15 years up until the 2014/15 season and the officiating down there I could tell some stories of some calls haha.
many of them with the Koharski brothers. mainly Jaimie. not sure if they are still around or not.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Another look. Even turtling didn't save that guy.

 

[Juicy Pop]

I absolutely can't wait. You think Simmonds was all you had to worry about?

 

[Tripod]

Morin is my favorite D prospect! He adds such a different element to our D and is the perfect compliment to the skill guys.

I like that he let up on him and didn't throw a punch when he clearly had the guy at a disadvantage. I love the ragdoll though....shows others how strong he is and should certainly get guys to 2nd guess going with him. He did give him a forearm to the head and into the ice though.
