I just think it's a little curious. He only gets one game with the nhl squad. Isn't even paired with Ghost, which many had predicted. And is sent back befor Hagg. I'm curious what will be said when Hakstol and Hextall address the media next.

It's not curious at all. He's not close to being ready for full time duty, and we have a gluttony of defensemen. The only prospect player that ever had a realistic shot of making the team was Ghost, and even he will likely be a final cut.

I expect more of the same from Hextall in any future comments regarding all roster cuts: "be patient".

Made the mistake of posting in the Hawks thread. Jesus Christ, I won't be poking my head in there any time again soon.

Maybe it's as simple as Hagg outplayed Morin in Brooklyn and so he gets to stay up a bit longer. Long term it doesn't matter. They'll both be in the AHL most if not all this season.

What about Ghost coming off an ACL injury makes him anymore likely to make the team than Morin out of camp?

No you're wrong despite how many logical facts you have. Still wrong

Hawks are best, (frank) you for saying otherwise

You know nothing cuz you're not a hawks fan

Hawks best team ever, (frank) you for saying otherwise

You clearly know nothing since you don't root for the hawks

a lot of nonsense can come from them hawk fans.

I think way too much is made of these moves. It's much about nothing.

Ghosts injury has nothing to do with the fact that hes still the most polished and NHL ready of the bunch. It's all irrelevent honestly. We don't have a roster spot for even 1 prospect player to make the team.

I think Gostisbehere's offensive game and ability to play on the PP, is NHL caliber right now. I don't think his play away from the puck defensively, is ready. If the Flyers felt they needed to, they can make a roster spot without much of an issue.

OK. You guys all probably think Oswalt was a lone gunman, Area 51 is just a place on a map, and Obama is an American too.

I think he needs a good amount of AHL time to hone in on the d zone work

Actually that should be applied to you, because you posted the possibility of there being some kind of conspiracy theory going on, rather than a simple hockey explanation.

I think so also. Although that ability to shoot the puck hard and accurately, can't be taught. That's special right there.

Sarcasm can't be met with more sarcasm?


Psst. My post wasn't really serious either! Actually was just commenting on how the sarcasm was misdirected.

I thought he looked better last year in the preseason which isn't surprising. He hasn't played hockey in awhile coming into camp this year. Absolutely the shot is special, but is a small part of the whole picture

I was with you until you hit on Obama. Had you said 'and Trump's hair is real', we'd still be having this conversation.
