Injury Report: Sam Morin knee injury (Sep. 2021 surgery); Forced to retire (May 3, 2022)

[Shrike]

Morin tearing his ACL twice had nothing to do with the medical staff.

Im not talking about the acl’s, he had surgery to remove loose bodies in his knee and was said to be out 6 to 8 weeks. That was about 4 months ago. Either they were clueless about the recovery time, or the surgery was less than successful. Maybe it’s just bad luck. When was the last time the medical staff got one right? When they had to do a second sports hernia on Hayes cause the first one didn’t fix the issue?

Or it wasn’t true what we were told

Any update?

Nothing has been issued among the injury and health updates. When Vigneault was coach, he was asked about certain injuries and when someone asked about Morin. he had a reaction in that I interpreted we won't see Morin and that was a few weeks ago. Nothing has been said since.

Or it wasn’t true what we were told

Easier to believe that than anything we’ve been told by the flyers medical staff. When the flyers administer a Covid test, I picture a bunch of chimps ripping open test kit boxes with Covid misspelled on them. Maybe that’s why Carter Hart is so frustrated with the Covid policy.

Morin injuries are Hextalls fault.

The Philadelphia Flyers ladies and gentlemen....

Poor Sam. Good luck to him. He's supposed to be the bull, but unfortunately, he's the china.

And perhaps the gloomiest report:

Heard a few months ago that he is done , he is just here till the end of the year to collect his paycheck and his contract is done . Feel bad for the kid .

Post operative complications perhaps? It’s odd looking back at the initial tweet by ASP that his career was done, before it was apparently shut down by Sam’s texts to Riley C, to now looking like the report perhaps having been accurate. Perhaps it was simply Sam wanting to ensure he could collect that paycheque and go through the motions with rehab all season when he knew it was unlikely to bring him back to full health?

On another note, as fans we couldn’t even have a single small positive to smile about this season, couldn’t we? He was never going to be more than a #6 or #7 at this point, but I was overjoyed for the guy when he scored that goal last season. Also a top 5 fighter in the league for sure. Just never got to cement himself.

Great character and teammate from all accounts and wish him the best in whatever he chooses to do now.

Every single thing that can go wrong has gone wrong. Every. Single. Thing.

Every single thing that can go wrong has gone wrong. Every. Single. Thing.

It has felt like that for the past 10+ seasons to be honest.

 

[trostol]

looking back..that 2013 draft was a disaster in who we picked

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Feel bad for the kid. He has had the worst luck. If his career is done that would be awful. Athletes want to go out on their own terms

Morin’s only Goal/Point as an NHLer in 29 games played.

i dont care about all the negativity. He would be a solid defensive dman for us if he wouldnt be injured all time!

Sam i wish you all the best! If you cant play hockey anymore you will go your way! Keep your head up bro!

I look forward to Sammy's debut as Phantoms coach next season after Lappy graduates to take the reins with the big club.

But seriously, poor Sammy.

 

[BiggE]

Sucks, truly sucks. Seems like a great kid and could have had a nice career as a physical 5th Dman who could excel on the pk. Just get healthy Sammy!

Glad he was able to get that feeling of scoring an NHL goal. You can see the legit joy he had and how happy his teammates were for him.

Being an optimist, after Myers signed as an UFA I thought the future of the Flyers blueline looked secure. Morin, Sanheim, Provorov and Myers. They all brought a different skill set that hopefully would complement each other. And then...
