Yeah for me this just feels like a bunch of people angry at the team for a poor showing this season venting at any tiny disagreement they have with what is done.
Phillips will get a chance to show what he's got in a full training camp next year if he doesn't get any games this year. He wasn't exactly blowing up the AHL.
We all know this team is soft and folds at any sign of adversity earlier this year, so I totally understand the desire to push this team right until the end. Show whoever remains after the offseason moves that the culture has changed and calling it in for games or folding like a cheap tent is no longer tolerated.
I also would like to see some of the AHL kids for these games to at least make them interesting, but if it doesn't happen I get why.
