Not to rain on everyone's parade...
But you will as usual. Big ol' grumpus.

Not to rain on everyone's parade, but you don't need to have a super hard shot to break the glass. I've broken one before with my shot. It depends on where you make contact with the glass

Way to go dude, now no one will compare him to Pronger
Pronger? I thought he was the next Bobby Orr mixed with Nick Lidstrom?
I'd be totally ok with a mean Coburn with a bomb of a slap shot. I think everybody would
Hi, Rimouski fan here. Since the mid-2000's, some teams in the q start to put a lot more effort in physical training for the player. It was something really lacking compare to the whl and ohl. Rimouski is one of them.
The team hire a firm specialize in fitness. They check all players individually and provide personal training program that player have to respect. They come at the training camp and come back every 2 months to adjust each program based on progress of each player.
A player like Morin with great work ethic benefit a lot from that. I think it will show this year both at summer and training camp.
Good to hear. I just hope he doesn't put too much weight on too soon that it effects his mobility. As great as it would be to have a 6'7 240 lbs defenseman, if its at the cost of his mobility then I'm not a fan. What makes Morin valuable is that he is big AND mobile.
6'7" 240 isn't that big. He knows how to skate well. So I don't see it being too much of an issue but as you say not too soon for the weight. He needs to learn how to progress with it. Seems to me he will be able to do that.
I'd be concerned if he was 6'1" 240 and skating. Being taller with the weight will benefit him.
Just watch the defensive drills. He skates and transitions very well for a man his size and certainly well enough for it not to be any kind of liability overall.
Morin has several things he could stand to improve on. For example, using his reach/stick against smaller player, understanding angles against smaller, faster forwards, reducing the load-up on his slapper, and harnessing his temper as smarter aggression. While his skating can improve (like most players his age), it's certainly not a hindrance from my viewing.

The good thing is all the things he really needs to improve on are mostly things that come with experience and maturity.
Coburn and Morin are not the same players. Morin can skate. Coburn can skate better. Coburn definitely has better puck skills. Morin is tougher and has a harder shot. Neither have great awareness. But right now I'm not seeing Morin as great at getting the puck out of the defensive zone.

Coburn can't do that
I'm actually surprised he never has to be honest with you, it's the only thing he ever hits when he takes his slapper. Figure he would get lucky once or twice.
