At a minor league level against a very limited number of teams. I mean, get ####ing serious, Phillips isn't even playing against the vast majority of the teams in the AHL. He's playing against a subset, and not even the best subset.

You speak condescendingly as if you know better than every one else here about such things. Do you think that Phillips himself is not keenly aware of the gap between the AHL and the NHL? Do you somehow believe that he imdoes not know exactly what it takes to get there, and how hard it will be to stick?

Condescendingly? About playing sports professionally and working through the minor league levels? There are people on this site that have been through the grinder in hockey and other sports. Try listening to their experience. Getting to the show is a quantum level jump. Matthew Phillips barely has the skill to make the jump and then has the limitation of his size. The deck is so stacked against him it isn't even funny.
