like i said...it is all relative. I am sure if all the flyers first round picks turned out to be boyd gordon the word bust would get tossed around

His face-offs are Boyd Gordon-esque this year. He's well on his way to being our Boyd Gordon now.

So if the next 3 hit we know the last one will suck? I dont see it that way...someone might not be as good as we hoped too, but still an NHL player.

Yes...that is exactly what I said.

Sadly, yes.. Leight.


edit: allegedly the Flyers are also targeting a former team mate of Ghost's: Mike Vecchione, and also of Union College, one Spencer Foo.

No really... there's someone named Spencer Foo and he plays hockey. Apparently rather well, too.

I'm genuinely curious...

How's the job going?

Still House Hunting?

How big is that Nephew and has he taken him to the rink yet?

How's he watching CHL games now?

Why'd he stop texting me a year ago?

ECHL is cooler anyways. The AHL is unnecessary when you have teams like the Greenville Swamp Rabbits and the Orlando Solar Bears and the Wheeling Nailers

If you think that 4-20 games in the AHL playoffs (because we don't know) are the end all be all, then you can't turn your nose at a guaranteed 20-25 NHL games, in most likely equal minutes they'd see in the AHL, against the best players in the world. I don't even really care that they're in the AHL still, but that's not an argument.

People who don't watch the Phantoms probably think they're used like we use Provorov. They're not. There's no available minutes data, but I imagine they're used in 2nd/3rd pair minutes depending on game situation. Normal 2nd/3rd minutes, not 12 minutes, but they're not playing 25 minutes a game. Now, here's what they get to do: watch TJ Brennan never leave the ice and do dumb things in a Berube-like system that has no resemblance to the NHL team, alongside a bunch of forwards usually out of position cherry picking. Their development is their own; it's not contingent on others, to an extent. The NHL team has been a mess, and yet there Provorov is developing without a dirt mark on him. And yet there Sanheim is rapidly developing while soaking in TJ Brennan's diarrhea.

- Mononoke

The 20-25 games you say they should have had for their development is something that the GM did not see eye to eye with you and PSG...
You guys keep bringing that up. All I ever said is a playoff push is a good thing for them rather then a quick cup of coffee. I reiterate that if the playoffs are secure for sure bring a few up for the experience...But you guys and your delusions of a 20 games in the NHL is only in your minds as it never happened...Focus on tomorrow as your dream of them coming up for 20 games never happened!!
