Morin Recalled

Morin recalled according to Kuc on twitter

 

[Gootie]

Well that didn't take long

 

[moose vasko]

Why, is Brookbank hurt too?

 

[RomersWorld*]

Hmmm, a bit disappointed. I wanted to see Winchester.

Think of a 3rd line like Bollig-Winchester-Brookbank. That would be sweet and physical and no offense aka good defense.

They'd get skated by so easily...

 

[wladyslaw]

lets hope w/ 29 out that we see:

10/19/81
Morin/37/88-- Morin is a sniper let him Play with our Best playmaker- see what happens!!!
20/65/23
52/16/28

Not sure if serious..

 

[Hawkaholic]

Hopefully he plays more than 10mins a night. At least he'll be put in an offensive role (I hope) and not the role Brookbank has/had.

 

[ndgt10]

Ugh, he is slow.

 

[BobbyJet]

I agree with Hawkaholic here. Q needs to give him the green light to play his own game in the top 6 and let the cards fall as they may. Some PP time would be nice as well.

 

[Nothingman*]

Saad will be on line two.

 

[Kurtosis]

10 minutes of ice time should be his minimum. Sink or swim time for him and he should be given the opportunity to do just that.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Hawks also sign Gootie so Q can scratch Morin for someone worse than him.

Everyone thinks I'm coming home on Tuesday for thanksgiving, the perfect cover.

I hope Q plays them exactly the was you tabbed it.

He doesnt really fit in the top 6, assuming Hossa is healthy. Giving him Bickells role is probably best.

Sharp Toews Hossa
Saad Pirri Kane
Morin Shaw Versteeg

Versteeg Pirri Kane

[plank]

Morin is a bit like Versteeg, kind of crafty except a little bigger,younger and slower. also prone to stickhandle a little to much.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Morin has a sub-par first step. Seems fine once he gets his stride but will never be called a plus skater. Streaky scorer. Good sniper but seems to score in bunches so he'll be invisible from the score sheet for stretches of games, then boom, then back to invisible. I'll take it over Brookbank playing wing.

 

[SLarmer28*]

I'll take a fire hydrant playing wing over Brookbank.

Agreed with the bolded part. On another team that could be a problem (from a transition standpoint), but that's the strength of our game. We really need a sniper with Kane so as long as he's decent on the defensive end (which I think he has been) the lack of the first step is a relatively minor quibble.

 

[Bubba88]

as expected...

 

[EmeticDonut]

Hooray, St. Morin is here, the Hawks will be undefeated from here on out!

 

[LandofLincoln*]

Q's 3rd line against the Jets?

Morin Shaw Versteeg
Saad Shaw Versteeg

I would be very surprised if Jeremy Morin had one second of playing time over 13 minutes against the Jets... So he could be mixed and matched but I'm expecting his ice time to be more typical of a third liner.
