Peterson is a joke

Hunter ****ing McDonald scores.

Peterson is a joke

He ****ing robbed Huntington on the goal line on a 2-on-1. But in general I agree.

 

[mr4tno]

Peterson 4 G on 14 shots. They should be playing their future

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Wilson and McDonald are such pathetic worthless goons

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

How was Emil Andraes season?? Stats wise it looked pretty good for his first year in North America. How does his NHL potential look?

Laperriere is making decisions for his future.

It seems to me that Lappy is taking care of his own future-going to be a lifelong Flyer. No other organization but the Flyers would take him.
Perhaps Briere and Jones have told Lappy to play Peterson in hopes that he'll catch a hot hand and some club would want to take him as a backup with the Flyers retaining half of his salary. Otherwise Fedotov should be in goal for a lot of reasons.

Tuomaala and Desnoyers scratched as well. Lappy going for the hockey guy cliché of, "go with the guys that got you there", or something like that I guess. Seems about right for him.

Tuomaala is injured tbf.

Kosolov and Peterson in the A again next year?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I'll admit that the Phantoms outplayed Hershey for a significant chunk of the game on Saturday, but I couldn't help but notice the poor shot selection. So many logo hunters and unscreened floaters right into Shep's glove. Even Todd Nelson touched on it in his postgame interview, basically the Phantoms just shoot everything while the Bears try for better scoring opportunities. Shep has been dialed in the last half of the season (I believe his GAA was under 1.00 the last 5 or 6 games of the regular season), he doesn't get beaten too easily.

 

[Curufinwe]

Shocked that Lappy doesn't have an effective offensive scheme in place.

Phantoms win 2-0 with goals by Lycksell and Andrae

Apparently Peterson had a big game.

Brink was very prominent in that. Good to see!

Anyone watching the games and can comment on how Hunter McDonald has looked?

Anyone watching the games and can comment on how Hunter McDonald has looked?

He has looked "fine" in his limited role. Has been probably an average-ish bottom pairing AHLer so far.

Has been playing under 13 minutes a night over his AHL games. Some games has been featured on PK, sometimes not.

None of his four points, including his goal, have been more than kind of "scrappy" plays where not one of main reasons they scored.

He is at under 48% Corsi... I dont have the relative stats, but take it for what it is worth...

Andrae is at around 60% over the same span
Attard 57%
Grans 57%
Ginning 53%

And they are all playing 17-18+ minutes (Andrae up over 21 minutes).

 

[Appleyard]

For reference, Corsi on the season for the prospects playing on Phantoms D...

Attard: ~55.5%
Andrae: ~54%
Grans: ~52.5%
Samson: ~50%
Ginning: ~48.5%
Millman: ~48%
MacDonald: ~47.5%

Ofc, cant be directly compared with different roles, different games played in etc. But yeh...

 

[Strawberry Fields]

They're completely shutting Hershey down. Frustrating af.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Brink was robbed on a partial break last night (Shep just barely kicked up a leg) and was robbed on a penalty shot in game 2. Gotta fear it's only a matter of time before he breaks through.

 

[BigToe]

Goal from yesterday. Looked pretty good in the 1 period I saw of him last week.

 

[GKJ]

I honestly was not aware our Prospect pool was this high? Good to see our goalie prospects are excellent.....and what to make of Barkley? Could he translate his brilliance onto the NHL?

The Flyers had always been drafting well, and able to project prospects who can take jumps in their D+1, the problem is what happens when they get here.

Can they just convert Bonk to wing and have him be the PP hero the FO is dreaming of?

Ghosts are officially donezo.
