Gerade eben habe ich es gefunden: Mike Morrison ist wohl der erste Sündenbock bei den Coyotes. Sicherlich, seine Zahlen waren bislang wirklich erschrekend, aber die Schuld alleine bei ihm zu suchen fände ich absolut falsch. Morrison soll nun also in die AHL gehen, David LeNeveu wird dafür ziemlich sicher in die NHL hochgehen.

Ich glaube kaum, dass es dadurch besser wird, vielleicht verstehen die Spieler aber den Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl. Für Morrison ist es schade.

The Phoenix Coyotes placed goalie Mike Morrison on waivers on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after a lopsided 6-1 loss to the Calgary Flames.

He is 0-3 in four starts with the Coyotes this season with a 6.13 GAA and .790 save percentage. If he goes unclaimed by Noon et/9am pt on Thursday he’ll be sent to San Antonio of the AHL, and David LeNeveu would be called up to replace Morrison as Curtis Joseph’s backup.

Morrison signed a one-year contract in July with the Coyotes after playing 25 games last season for Edmonton and Ottawa.

He posted a 11-4-3 record in his first year in the NHL with a 2.95 goals-against average and .882 save percentage.

After 20 games with the Oilers, Morrison became expendable in Edmonton after the Oilers traded for Dwayne Roloson. Ottawa, looking for insurance while Dominik Hasek recovered from a groin injury, claimed Morrison off waivers.
