Woukd you agree it's a lot harder to be thrown directly into a top 6 role versus coming in as a 4th line grinder? And that maybe that is why they would need more practice time before being thrown to the wolves? I would be more concerned about a "conspiracy" if Sutter was going Oilers style and throwing skilled players into a top 6 role with no practice as that usually never succeeds. This is in no way me saying I dont want to see Phillips. I hope he gets in when the time is right and grabs a spot.
Anyway the earth will roll on no matter.
Flames will continue how they played in the second last game but without a goalie giving the momentum away and come away with a resounding win. Go Flames!
