2024-25: Phantoms (AHL), Reading Royals (ECHL), NCAA, Jrs., Int'l, etc.

I’ve watched this gif like 20 times trying to make sense of it. Batter held up and then took a practice cut a second after the catcher got the ball. Wonder if a hit and run was on and he just remembered lol

Hit and run on an unhittable pitch. Some coaches are really particular about batters swinging no matter where the pitch is.

Imagine having to spew BS and lies instead of just saying " I thought Grans would be better. I was wrong"

Guess he didn't learn after penciling in Attard on the top pairing...lol.

Brampton must have more than one McDavid caliber skater to keep up with.

9-0 after 2 . They're gonna be 3-8 after this game.

"I thought Grans would be better. I was wrong"

He never watched a minute of Grans in his life when he made that comment. He couldn't differentiate Helge Grans from Ariana Grande. This happens litrilllly every time he debates prospects. The guys who watch these players are the ones who get lectured.

Jett got a secondary on their only goal.

I find it amazing that Rizzo isn't on the team. We all have our guys, and everyone knows I've been paid attention to Rizzo quite a bit last year....But he was electric on one of the best college teams last year, and deserves a real chance to show what he's got.

Maybe he was injured, but he showed nothing in camp.

A 23 year old player with 3 years of college under his belt should flash something, especially in the early exhibition games when you're going against AHL types.

The fact that he has yet to dress after 8 games suggests some sort of physical issue.

It was his first skating since his high ankle sprain at the end of last season— he had not skated for the last few weeks of the season, and played wing in a much reduced role in the NCAA Final.

I suspect there’s an injury as well.

Or just bad coaching. Hence Boulton in the lineup.

Rizzo probably refused to block shots with his face and that's why he is scratched.
Jokes aside, it is what it is... Lappy doesn't know how to use pure offensive players - he loves his try hard, bread and butter type of grinders because they think alike.
