My guess is his early season core injury isn't 100%. That's why he's out of the lineup now.

Thanks for being on top of this stuff sandman!

Does anyone know what's going on with Morin?

Last year he a lot more production. His plus minus was +29 and this year it's -4. This is despite the fact that his team has a better record this year and the rest of his teammate have slightly better +/- stats. In his draft year, he was 2nd in team scoring. This year, he's down to 7th.

I loved the pick, and his stats are still relatively good, but this season hasn't gone as hoped.

[AustinL_NHL]

I do remember one of the knocks on his high production last year was that he played almost 30 minutes a game every night, sometimes more. Perhaps they upgraded their D and/or made it their plan to play him a more manageable amount per game this season, which would explain a points drop.

Totally just spit balling.

[Sandman]

I read an article a short time ago (forgot to post) where they said that Morin was diving into heavily improving his physicality, and his defense this year. If so, very admirable on his part. I still love this kid, as much as I love Brzustewicz- and I LOVE Brzustewicz.

[Sandman]

Mar.15th:

Tri-City gets killed, 11-1 by Portland. Bell gets an assist, and was -2. 55gp/30g/27a/57pts,-17, 34 PIM.

Vancouver beats Kamloops, 3-1. Lipinski gets a goal. 63gp/21g/39a/60pts,-2, 55 PIM.

Honzek gets no points again. 29gp/9g/18a/27pts,+2, 12 PIM.

Brzustewicz gets 3a, and was +1 in a 9-2 victory over Owen Sound. 63gp/12g/76a/88pts,+33, 22 PIM, tied for 8th in OHL scoring.

Didn't Morin's father die earlier this season? Or was it BRZ?

I believe Hunter's Dad died in January.

Mar.16th:

Vancouver beats Kamloops, 9-2. Lipinski gets 2 assists, and was +2. 64gp/21g/41a/62pts,even, 55 PIM.

Honzek gets a goal, and 2 assists, and was +4. 30gp/10g/20a/30pts,+6, 12 PIM.

Bell was second star, with 3 goals, and was -1 in a 7-6 loss to Spokane. 56gp/33g/27a/60pts,-18, 34 PIM. 14 points in his last 10 games.

No points for Morin in a 3-2 win over Halifax. 54gp/11g/33a/44pts,-4, 31 PIM, 9th in scoring by defensemen in the Q.

[Wastedyouth]

Morin is still quite young. Only turning 19 this year. His development path is going well. Imo.

My guess is, like they did with Poirier, they told the kid to work on his positioning and defence this year. That often limits scoring opportunities.

He still generates the highest shots per game rate of all QMJHL d men. Even if the points arent coming this year.

But that's just a guess.

[Wastedyouth]

Morin with a goal and another 7! Shots on net tonight.

Sorry Sand for stepping on your thing. I was bored!
