The Phantoms lineup had a bunch of ECHL guys in it. I assume WBS did, too.

They have two more preseason games on Sunday & Monday.

Evidemment, vous ne parlez pas français.

 

[TheKingPin]

Only 17 SOG given up? Was the D that good, did the Phantoms control play that much, or were the baby Pens that bad?

No way that’s Gordon coaching.

No, but I do know all the words to Lady Marmalade

@Stizzle -- Chris Pryor was hired by the Predators as a NA scout.

Guess that's good news he didn't follow Hextall?

With that defense I can definitely see why they didn't bring Hogberg over, he'd be in reading

Laberge is also on the roster. I’d have Laberge as 3RW

Haha wow they should never trade a pick again. Now they will be able to pick high end forwards late in the first and high end D in 2nd and 3rd round. And then sign those guys to a 10-15% discount in UFA.

That's quite a step down from being AGM and Head of Scouting.

Maybe the JOB & Ginning picks cost him since they were so fresh in everyone's mind.

I am super excited this year for Wisconsin Penn State games. PSU is one of the most entertaining teams to watch in college (IMcompletelybiasedO) and the offenses they have are insane. I am expecting some football game scoreboards and wouldn't be surprised to see Caufield with an Ovechtrick this year

I already got the tickets for the November 1st game in State College. It should be a good one for sure.

 

[Johnny Danger]

Serdyuk with 5 goals in 3 games ... best goalgetter in the league so far! can anyone tell me more about his progress/development?

Really skillful and quite feisty. Nice IQ and knows where to go on ice. But for his size he needs to become a better skater. He is not bad, but at ~5'10 and light he needs to be quicker on feet going forward to make the cut at a higher level. Also needs to work a "bit" on D. He works hard there but sometimes gets a bit lost from what I have seen.

I feel sorry for NAK. That was an expensive demotion.

$85,000 to play at Allentown and no signing bonus money this year.

Hopefully, the guys on one-way deals (Andreoff, Welinski and Lyon) will be buying drinks and dinner.

you get the teddy bear toss game?

 

[TheKingPin]

So what should we expect from the phantoms this year if Frost stays in the ahl?

 

[Curufinwe]

With the depth they have it would be outrageous if they missed the playoffs again. Whether Frost plays 6 games or 76.

I guess so. Which hockey fans out there wouldn't want a teddy bear!

Don't underestimate the Gordon effect.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Their roster should be good enough to make it to the playoffs again this year regardless of coach.

Their roster took a decent hit last year whether injuries of their own or call-up’s to the Flyers & they didn’t really have the depth to withstand it.

When the talent advantage becomes leveled or less that’s where they’ve typically struggled under Gordon.

That series vs. the Marlies 2 years ago...rough to watch.

Member when Chuck smoked all that crack and then signed 78 players for LV?
