When Sutter looks back to the first Kings cup, he probably remembers 21 year old Toffoli as a 28 year old. Toffoli didn't look any better than our top AHL players and he still got a solid look with the Kings.
Sutter may be my favorite coach, but his comments make him seem like an old stubborn mule. He should know a thing or two about old stubborn mules because of his summer vocation.
If they have a plan for Phillips that involves him getting a look sometime later in the year, I'll be happily satisfied. I'll be choked if they don't even give one good chance to someone who has CLEARLY earned a call-up.
Keep it up Matthew! Make this management look so stupid, they're forced into making a decision.
