vis Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 According to Meltzer, looks like Sanheim and Morin both scratched tonight. I do not understand why Manning would play ahead of either of them. Makes zero sense to sit either in the PB unless they are dealing with injuries. https://twitter.com/billmeltzer/status/915646245481349120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podein25 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 So Ghost is suddenly fine? Wasn't he concussed? Isn't the smart thing to let him sit in the press box, dress one of the kids (Ghost himself is a kid), and make sure Ghost is 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 FIRE.HAKSTOL.TODAY. Seriously, first, they should be playing by right. Both are better than either MacDud or Manning. Second, why keep them up only to scratch them? What good does that do anyone? I guess bring them in case Ghost can't go, but...back to my first point. The situation with the defensemen, keeping Leier, giving MacDumbass a letter other than F or U...this guy is an idiot. And seriously, our offense pretty much blew in preseason. And there's really little excuse for it. He's in way over his head. You're going to can him eventually, so why not just do it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that argument a bit for Sanheim. I think he could probably use some more time to improve defensively, although he got better as preseason went on. But did you see anything really that made Morin not safe? I'm sure he had a gaff here or there, but I thought he was really pretty sound and provided a smart physical presence back there. More than MickeyDipshit or Manning, anyway. Manning is game with the fighting thing, but I don't think he instills fear in anyone other than his own goalie. I don't get this. At all.

I don't really hold out any hope for that, but possibly. I would suspect for Manning more than MacDotard. But what would they "prove" tonight that they haven't through preseason and last year? Unless Hextall was simply waiting to see if Ghost is okay. Dunno, i just think the better explanation is that our coach is a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I get why the kept Sanheim up and why he might get scratched since Ghost is healthy. But Morin? Makes absolutely no sense to keep him up and then scratch him - unless he is nursing an injury. 8 minutes ago, ruxpin said: And seriously, our offense pretty much blew in preseason. Yep. Also, the G/C/V line combined for one 5v5 goal in the preseason by my count. I know it's pre-season and all, but really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok play McDud because the "A" you can make a case for...but c'mon ..Manning over them. Something does not make sense.

brelic Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yes, @vis, that's my thinking too. I figured one of them would be scratched - after all, one of them was going to be sent back, probably Sanheim, and made the trip as insurance. But I don't understand scratching both. SO, if Read is still here and Sanheim in LV, does Morin get scratched tonight? That is directly against what Hextall said just yesterday - "we're not keeping young guys up here to play 7-8 minutes a night." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. So maybe they are showing Manning? Or MacDildo? I don't understand moving Manning. He really is a good #7 to have. And if you move Manning, that makes someone like Sanheim come up to be the #7, which makes no sense for his development. But if you move MacDung, then you play both Morin & Sanheim and Manning is your 7th. I think MacDooDoo would look terrific next to Vlasic, don't you?
