Washington got Sandin, but they also traded a 1st round pick to Toronto along with Gus who was only making $800K. Ghost was traded by himself at $4.5m with no retention. He wasn't packaged with a first rounder.


But at any rate, the massive waste of assets and subsequent performance of being a bottom 4 team over the last two seasons wasn't irrelevant to the people who just fired your buddy, Chuck. Just think of all the years of your life you wasted writing fan fiction to prop up that loser. :snide:
 
How good is the BC coach? The coach Gauthier wanted to play under left before the season.
Are 35 college games as good as 65 AHL games and say 10 NHL games?
 
Games under Lappy? Probably better off building skills anywhere else. He needs to learn how to drive play and get to high danger areas somewhere else. The Flyers won't want him as anything but a board grinder, as is their wont

1-1 after one period. 1st Phantoms game I have watched/seen since moving to FL.

Faster than last year, but as dis-organized as ever. Errsson standing on his head.

Lappy said: "Ginning is NHL ready". He is a slight upgrade to Hagg. Slightly faster in the uptake of understanding where he should be. But "Flyers Ready"......well.....but MacDonald was always "Flyers Ready".....

They suck....
- Power play looks just like the Flyers
- no one can stick handle (or they are having it coached out of them)
- so so so passive
- how on God's green earht did Cates, Hodgson and Willman get NHL contracts?
 
3-2 Bears. After 2 periods.

They are even more dis-organized than first period....which is hard to believe.

As Strawberry says four breakaways...even to the slowest person ever: Strome

Powerplay really sucks.......pathetic team......Brink stinks. Attard is oK I guess. Zamula regressed

Before the Clash were the Stonemen.......Should I stay or Go.......I like the go-go dancers.....1966.....

 
Nice giveaway by Ginning to give the Bears a 4-2 lead.

Kinda surprised at just how many giveaways and offensive opportunities the Phantoms are giving up (well, maybe not, it is a Flyers affiliated team after all). The Bears are 2nd in the division but not exactly an offensive dynamo. They have the second least goals scored in the division and have had the offensive prowess of a nursing home for the last month or so. Still plenty of time for the Phantoms to come back because I've never seen a lead this Hershey team isn't happy to piss away.

And seconds after I post this, Wilson completes his hat trick and makes it 4-3... lol.
 
6-3 Final......Ersson leaky 5 hole.......

Not hard to believe but true: worse than the Flyers on the PK. The whole Phantoms team makes the Flyers look like SC contenders

Man.....the Phantoms sucks;

While that looked like a bone head play further analysis shows the Phantom's wing was playing behind the Hershey defender, i.e further from Ersson. How do you not try to front the defender? Probably because their sole break out play is the lob the puck down the ice so you are always trying to get a head start.

They really looked horrible, but I have to wonder how much is due to the bone head coach.
 
Briere is happy with the job Lappy is doing.

Lappy might be the worst coach in professional hockey, but he is one clever motherf***er. You have to be to stay employed with one organization this long despite NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER, delivering satisfactory results.
 
Ersson got exposed, this is why he's in the AHL, playing a lot of minutes.
Think he gave up 3 goals through the 5 hole, which suggests Hersey had scouted him and noted that weakness.
So he has the rest of the season to work on that aspect of his game.

All the defensemen looked a bit shaky, Zamula and Wylie especially, Attard flashed skill but two bad penalties.
Marody had a sweet pass to Wilson for the hattrick, if he could skate he'd be a heck of a NHL player.
Brink looks like he's not close to 100%, probably won't see the "real" Brink until TC.

They were coming off a five game winning streak with two of their best players absent for much of that time.
So I wouldn't put too much on one game against a team that has their number all season.
