People see what they wanna see, I guess.

I saw Phillips with multiple key takeaways, a solid zone entry on the pp about fifteen seconds before the Hanifin goal, a solid zone exit that resulted in genuine speed down the middle (something this team sorely lacks), a puck battle in the corner that resulted in a glorious Mangiapane chance, and just a general level of play that made dropping Coleman down a line possible. And no, I don't think Phillips was even the second best player on his line, but that's a testament to how strongly the other two have been for us.
