One wouldn't think this would need to be explained but apparently it does. The reason why York was sent down was to get him some playing time to raise his level of play. The Flyers don't want either York or Attard losing playing time to go on a road trip with the Flyers to sit as the 7th defenseman. So with the unavailability of Ristolainen, they called up Belpido for the road trip. But hey, Caulfield scored a goal.

The Phantoms don't play again until Saturday so they could have gone to Florida and made some extra money without missing any AHL games, but they left York on the Phantoms to send a message.

I can't say much about Frost cause I only saw one period of the first two games (third period against the Nucks). I saw his goal and that was a goal scorers goal, and I guess he has played well. Now we shall see how he plays against elevated competition on the road in the next 3 games.

How much have you watched Caufield play this year?

Dead on here. Ive been wanting to watch the haunting of hill house but for whatever reason undertaking a new series is always a production for me, whereas a movie you can just plow in an evening.

i agree with the rarity of good horror though. like i said, i am more than willing to go into things with a margarita sized grain of salt and even that isnt enough to stave off disappointment most times. Still, the best of time year though by far.

Definitely get that with a series. Haunting of Hill House is up there in my book with True Detective season 1 in that it's a largely perfect mini series. Plus if you've seen any Mike Flanagan stuff previously (Oculus, Dr. Sleep, Hush) you'll enjoy it

He would be missing the phantoms practices and team meetings. Do not see the big deal with them not calling up York to sit in the press box.

They weren't a legit cup team.
- MJL

As it turned out they were not, but heading into the bubble they were executing as one of the best teams in the league and won their 3 preliminary games, so there was at least optimism.

How should fans feel about the men in various departments doing the exact same?

Say someone like Barber, McCrossin, or Brown for example.

I don't know, but it doesn't let Giroux off the hook! I agree with Fopa, he should be booed loudly when he shows his face again in Philly.

And when did Nick Susuki become so good? I have definitively been sleeping through this kids' development. He had a good game last night.

Well you heard from Torts yesterday, if there is any sulking from players being sent down, e.g. from York or Zac McEwen, they will be buried there! I love it! York needs to play on the Phantoms in all situations and become that dominant player Torts and his staff believes he can be, and if and when he becomes that player, he will be called up. And notice I stated Torts and his staff, because from my perspective they have taken over player development is this organization which IMO is a very good thing. I am starting to feel Torts is more of a GM than Fletcher is.

Thankfully most fans have some simple sense and will give him the standing ovation he deserves.

Are you kidding? He terrorized us for 4-5 straight games in the 2020 playoff series. He was impressive against Tampa on the ECF (as was Caufield on his wing). Both of them have high end potential.

Judging by how much love and support he received in his final game as a flyer, which I attended, I think it’s pretty certain he will get a standing ovation. After that he may get the playful boo the rest of the game.

Yes when the inevitable tribute happens, he will get a standing O. Rest of the game, he's the enemy.

I haven't watched him play at all other than the highlights. He has 3 goals in 4 games and is averaging a point a game so far. Looks pretty good to me. You should agree since you are the stats guy on here. Thanks!

So you can't say much about Frost when asked because you only watched him play one period. However, you haven't watched Caulfield play at all, yet you have plenty to say about him.

Just by coincidence, Frost is also averaging a point per game

What do you think about Konecny so far? Think he's better than Caulfield?

In general, I am a photographer by specialization and try to travel a lot to give subscribers a unique footage that can be filmed only traveling. But it was hard for me, in the sense that travel was too expensive and I was looking for something to save on. Fortunately, I was then told here on the website how to do this so that I can save money then go somewhere else. I suggest you look into this.
