Where's Phillips?

Scratched

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Where's Phillips?

He's been replaced by noted goal scorer Brett Ritchie.

Interesting to see Zohrona at 4C though. He's been decent so far.

 

[23Monahan]

after a WHOOPING 9 minute average over two games phillips is scratched lmfao so silly, he actually had some good looks considering his very limited TOI.

I'm more perturbed by the fact he can't wear #14 like he clearly wants.

Theo should come right out and say "use the number kid, the team won't retire it"

This concludes my TED talk.

 

[Boomstick]

Should be an interesting one tonight.
Go Flames.
Someone needs to step up tonight.
This is the first season in a really long time where I don't have a favorite Flames player at the moment.
I have a blank retro reverse jersey waiting for someone to take the reigns and become a beast. Hasn't happened yet.

 

[Fig]

Are we wearing the reverse retros? I hope it comes with good luck.

I was all for #14 being unofficially retired, but with how Theo has been these past few years (hell the last 20 years really) being a complete crazy guy let Phillips rock the #14.

I got hockey myself tonight so I'll miss the 2nd and 3rd period, hopefully we show up and smoke these clowns.

Spencer Martin is 8-3-1 w a 3.45/.891 split.
Marky is 8-7-3 w a 2.81/.897 split.
Crazy how they have been able to score their way out of bad defence.

If Marky lets in shot #1 we lose. If he doesn't we win. Simple as.

 

[Iggys Dome]

We win by default cuz we're wearing the reverse retros.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Maybe change it up and try winning instead of losing.

Honestly a total shit show where both teams score 4+ goals might be good for us. Get some of these guys going.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Need a good effort. Hopefully Markstrom continues the road back to redemption after his good game in Montreal.

 

[Haatley]

Where's Phillips?

He has looked terrible. Knocked off the puck very easily. Nothing dynamic. Hasn't earned more ice time.

Wow, I'm in total agreement with everything you said.

By default it's probably Backs but it sucks that its forced on me.

I actually think Theo deserves to be in the HHOF. I also think he has stones to say things that he believes unlike most everyone else.

 

[Tofveve]

I think we win this one because things. We're a pretty boring team with maybe the weakest identity in the league. As much as I've ragged on Zad he might be as much our poster boy along with Backs and Tanev and Ras.

Still supporting Ruz for a long-term spot with this club. Still supporting Stone despite some cement foot (work on that please, stat). Still have fingers crossed on Hubes. Thankfull we still have Lindy.

Go Flams. Spank em 5-2.

 

[flames23]

No Tanev typically means porous defensive coverage w a very high amount of high danger chances surrendered. Habs Marky will need to be back again tonight. Mackey/Stone and the 4th line gonna get caved (and Sutter will have them out for 30%).

 

[Anglesmith]

Go Flam defeat whale.

Mackey is young so Sutter will bench him for playing like shit. Stone might get more minutes if he sucks.

Theo would say that Trudeau created a conspiracy to rob him of his number or something nuts.

Where's the nuts part?

When what you say is moronic and most often spreading absolute lies that is not impressive at all.

I agree he should be in the HHOF but his number should never be retired. For me the hall of fame is on ice based, a retired number should be on ice and what you did for the team/community and Fleury is a massive failure on the 2nd part.

Having him in the HHOF is good argument for retiring his number. We don't have too many HHOF inductees. The rest of your post lacks specifics.

He was an alcoholic who overcame the addiction. He had other problems too that he overcame (victim of sexual abuse for one). That all is commendable.

He has repeatedly trashed the organization for starters, not sure why the Flames wants a guy who does that with a retired number.

The lies he spreads over Twitter is not commendable at at all. What happened to him in junior is awful but it doesn’t give him blanket excuse for the crap he does.
