Might have been it , looked like he was more interested in checking that specific person but could have also been what you said..

What I know is Jake shouldnt be the player in the crease.

That's exactly why I'm not a fan of that coverage scheme. You can draw defenseman away from the net. I prefer a coverage where defenseman break off once a player gets above the circles, with more of a zone/man scheme.

So whats your complaint? Someone beat Morin in a fight and since he is a Flyer that means he is a bust?

Hell you are right thought Domi never dropped them with any heavyweights.

- opeth_pa


I didn't say he was a bust. I simply mentioned he got knocked around by a smaller guy. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be a physical presence.

Ghost has to be stronger on the puck in his end, last goal by Kesler he was in no mans land waiting for someone to do his job, he is so bad in his own end without the puck , doesn't ever win a battle especially against a big team line Anaheim , hope he can make up for it on the powerplay.

The 2nd Kesler goal wasn't on Gostisbehere, it was on Raffl. Kesler was his check, and he skated away from him, and left him at the net.

Ok sure. Every other sport where you fight has weight classes. So size means less than zero. Can't wait for Ghost to punch out Chara.

what smaller Flyer player rocked Chara a few years ago? sometimes a player could be off balance. and in a fight it just takes one punch to land sometimes to knock someone off balance. Dude everything is just terrible

and he has also rag dolled a few guys. he loses one fight to a smaller player and that means he isnt a physical presence?

My grandma would be a more physical presence than MacDonald, Del Zotto and Ghost.

what does that have to do with Morin? and not every dman is supposed to be a physical presence. I seriously don't get what you are complaining about

Del Zotto, although not a big guy, has a physical edge to his game.

Hell, I'd like to see it at all. He's been pretty much invisible so far this season, except for when he takes himself way out of position

Horrible goal for sure.

Even before the game started, i was asking myself what the hell does Stolarz have to do to earn a start.
