Had more playoff goals last year than Hartnell, Rosehill, and Link Gaetz combined.

Didn't Hartnell set up Amac's goal?

I doubt they would bench Amac for Morin. I think it would be Schenn or MDZ. Likely Schenn because they play the same role and Berube doesn't seem to like him.
- PhillySportsGuy


If Morin gets some games I think it would be.

Morin-Coburn
Grossmann-Streit
MacDonald-Schenn

Morin is not going to play the right side, and they aren't going to chuck him out there with a player he hasn't played with in preseason.

I'm just here to discuss the facts. You're using misdirection to sidestep the matter.

True, but that'd be a heck of a lot of ice time for him, wouldn't it?

Aside from Streit that's little to no offense. Can't expect much offense from Morin yet.

I was really hoping for trained chimps in black and orange tutus. Bonus points if they would throw feces at Pierre McGuire during national telecasts.

From reading the comments on CSN, philly.com, and FB, it seems that Coburn is going to be the designated whipping boy from the great unwashed monkey soldiers.

Grossmann

But Grossmann has been better than MDZ so far this preseason.

On the ice a lot against the other teams best players and not hard to notice, I wonder why anyone would get the impression that he wasn't good.

Hard to argue that but MDZ brings (or is suppose to bring) offense to the table. If only they had Gus...

He's also been better than Schenn by a wide margin. Both halves of the MDZ-Schenn pairing have had mediocre preseasons.

If I thought the org was more clever than I do, I'd think that they'd make it all men so the complainants (mostly women I'm assuming) would feel like they just put women out of jobs, if you get what I'm saying.
- NickTheKid87


from what i understand they removed the ice girls due to concerns of backlash from that mother jones article

for you to jump to the assumption that they were removed due to complaining women is actually pretty sexist, well done

But that's because none of the vets are interested in actually trying in the preseason, according to some.

Streit and Grossmann are the only starting defenseman who have played, at least, average in the preseason

I think the real issue here is that the former Ice Girls just weren't hot enough.

Unpossible. Streit's overpaid and sucks defensively. Grossmann is overpaid and sucks.
