Phillips was very impressive tonight, got hit pretty hard in the first but if anything it got him more engaged. Got 2 G 1A including the OT winner. He had a hell of a shift before he scored the winning goal, he isn't afraid to go to the dirty areas and is by no means playing a perimeter game, he battles along the boards when he can and had a couple nice back checks where he was able to strip the puck. I've said it before here but I really think he could be a good one, outplayed K.Yamamoto tonight by a fair bit. Will be interesting if he stays in Junior next year, guess will depend on how he looks in camp. I think he could make the jump to the AHL. If he could hit 50 goals that would make him the first Royal to do it i'm pretty sure. Dube and Phillips seem like very good picks so far.
