They have a defenseman named Boston Buckberger??? Yes, I checked that he exists. And he's from Saskatoon.

There are some other ... err, interesting names in the lineup.

Flahr was on Flyers Daily. Said Rizzo has an ankle issue

Glad to see that the club is keeping track of Rizzo. It gives me hope that they'll go and sign him after the season. So many here assume that he's going to go UFA this summer.

Someone (maybe @tnfrs??) posted an interview with him earlier in the season, and he had nothing but nice things to say about the organization. I hope he gets signed. Would be nice to find the needle in a haystack.

The problem is everyone wants to be so damn creative these days and the names come out sounding completely idiotic. Give me a Jake or Ben any day over Trixton or Bryson.

Flahr ratted him out...

Button just ranked Gauthier as the #1 NHL affiliated prospect

He gets less credible each and every year. Imagine thinking Gauthier was even in the same tier as Michkov, let alone the top prospect on the planet.

TK's skating still an issue at the NHL level, Craig?

Well, he does have that "clutch" gene, although he seems to be like most Gen Z and doesn't know how to use the clutch.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Odd list outside of that. Bonk on par/ahead of guys like Jiricek, Stankoven, Edvinsson, Zellweger. Mateychuk isn't even ranked.

Not sure Nikishin, despite the production, is #2 overall caliber either.

I had no idea he was performing that well. Might have to watch a game or 2 now.

Sotheran?

11 forwards and one is a face-puncher and another is a washed up version of Brink. That’s just how it goes sometimes.

Does that Phantoms play by play guy ever get sick of sucking so much ass?

Barkey with slick shoot out winner and not selected as any of 3 stars of the game….

What's wrong with him? He's sounded fine the few times I've watched Phantoms broadcasts and there's nothing out of the ordinary in the linked clip.

He gets excited when the phantoms score. Taboo.
