just got from a few errands, the grocery was mobbed at 2:30 in the afternoon, as if snow was in the forecast

I suspect the first priority for AHL call-ups is, try to do no harm.


This the likely reason it’s Phillips. Especially this time of year with the playoff chase.
54

Other than speed, he must not show much other than AHL talent? He's 26. If they had any thoughts of him being an NHL'r he'd of been called up by now, imo.  :huh:

 


So your telling me there's a chance!!  :wackysmile: :raspberry:

Hershey has the best record in the AHL by a significant amount.  They also have the best goal differential in the league, and as a result, virtually all the players on the roster have a healthy +/- rating (which I realize has flaws as a predictor of quality of play).  Iorio leads the team in +/- with a +26, one of the highest ratings in the AHL.


Ethan Frank has played 90% of Hershey's games, and I'd have to believe he is playing on an upper line, with his scoring prowess.  BUT, half his goals are on the power play, and his +/- rating, which reflects 5 on 5 play only, is 0.  I wonder if these indicators suggest that he is not especially responsible defensively.  I suspect the first priority for AHL call-ups is, try to do no harm.   
55
Well I'm glad to see Iorio get a chance, but not for this reason.  Not sure if he gets in the lineup though...we have 6 D without Bear.
Phillips...thought we were done with this experiment ::)

Who did Frank piss off to not even get a look?

I’m guessing Milano won’t be available for a couple games either…

That'll be the downfall of the season if they don't make it in. Lineup can't stay consistent at all.
