Yup..
Easy and soft to play against.
No one plays with any edge
No one pushes back
No one clears the crease
No one hits
No jam

I could care less about fighting, that era of the NHL is long gone.
All of the things above make them like playing $240 worth of pudding...aweee yah.

No, that’s this team to the fans. And then that’s the fans right back when it comes time to renew their tickets. This is a (frank)ing awful product and shows no signs of it not continuing, and that’s coming from someone who is big picture oriented. I’m not even asking for short term wins. I’m asking for sound philosophies and an actual plan.

And if they did nothing all people would do is cry that they havent done anything.

The problem is this isnt the move a lot of people want with maybe OL being called up but that doesnt change the fact its them trying something

NHL GM's don't just try things for the sake of trying things. Hextall isn't going to throw a kid in the NHL just to shake things up.

Ghoulborne was just recalled because the organization knows without a doubt that the kid is NHL-ready. Or else why would they recall him? They have a development plan for every player. Everything is going according to plan.

Bottom line is Ghoul is NHL ready and that is why he is being called up. Not simply because they are trying to shake up the team. That would be detrimental to the player's development, and we all know that right now that is the most important thing in the whole wide world.

I hope Goulbourne comes up and derails some guys on our roster in practice. I hope he matches the speed of Laughton with some boardplay, plus an expendable body for extracurricular activities. I also hope he doesn't take more than 7 pim's a game. We could use a short burst of butt hole on this team.

It's okay to admit that the snipe job and all around magnificent performance by the transcendent Ryan Reaves last night has caused philosophical ripples throughout the entire Flyers organization.

I don't get to follow the Phantoms to closely but is there a player in the AHL that could spark this team?

The hysterics in here over Goulbourne being called up to replace who I bet is Lehtera on the 4th line tomorrow night is pretty priceless. Get a grip people.

Wait until Konecny gets benched for Goul, and Lehterä stays in

that will get their bowls in an uproar
