FD19372 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't care if he wins nice guy, team player awards. I want the team to put the best players they can on the ice that give them a chance to win. MacDonald doesn't do that. They also don't give players who could use NHL experience a chance because he takes up a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your prayers have been answered. The break Morin needed...... Andrew MacDonald will miss 4-6 weeks with a lower-body injury ...but i'm sure they won't recall him they will just put Manning out there....

hf101 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 He took a nasty shot to the knee yesterday. He stayed right in there helping keep the puck out of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Man, that stinks for MacDonald. Guess Morin gets to come up and prove he belongs. Ideally, I'd play Gudas with Provorov long term, but if I had to guess how the coaches will shake it up, they'll go: Provorov - Hagg Morin - Ghost Sanheim - Gudas If only because I don't think they'll put two rookies together.

Well i just hope Sam seizes this opportunity like Ghost did when Streit went down and never gives it up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthbal Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I hope that Morin gets called up and given a chance to play. But, I have a funny feeling that Manning will get the bulk of the games until MacDonald comes back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to give Sam some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 My main worry here is that they call up Alt and just slot Manning into the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we get the sugar coated version. What they say in private is another story!! no one will tell the media "I hate his fing guts and wish he was not on the team"!!!!!!

RJ8812 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 No one would hate MacDonald if he was paid half of what he was making and was used where he should be (5th/6th defenseman)...unfortunately, that's not the case Sucks that he got injured, but this is good news for Morin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he has been pretty decent this year (not $4.7m good) and doesn't deserve a lot of the hate he receives. It's clear he is valued by his coaches and teammates. Guy is a professional and stand-up guy. That said, I hope we now get a long look at Morin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Saw a tweet that "people" are celebrating MacDonald's injury. What the **** is wrong with "people "? The booing the guy at the home opener was classless yet typical, somehow this feels worse. The man is an NHL player who makes 2 million more a year than "people" think he should. This is an unnecessary level of fan engagement. assholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i'm not sure if you ever heard the story before but they did throw snowballs at Santa before... ...so you'd expect in today's time with folks being able to say whatever they want on social media (most of it something they would never say to a person's face without swallowing their teeth) and not having to account for it i must say i'm not shocked.

RJ8812 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I really hope Hagg shows he can be paired with Provorov so that when MacDonald returns from his injury, he goes where he should be (on the 3rd pair). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
