Unless they’re “not in the mood” which happens throughout every game and for Mang has happened far more this season than actually being in the mood to work hard. Dude is on “just got it made, don’t give a F” mode all year. He scored +30 last year if you recall. Dube has been way better for sure.
I’m not sure what Phillips would or could have been. Again, we’ll never know other than just posting his height and then definitive arm wavey statements of “he’ll never work”, when he plays 6 mins on line 4. Which, let’s be honest, is not a real chance. By the looks of every Wrangler we call up though, they- to a man- outperform about half the Flames so I’m not sure how you come to the conclusion that it is “ridiculous” to state that the difference between the AHL and NHL is not large. It isn’t at all. What players that the Flames have brought up this year have struggled, in your estimation? Like actually can’t keep up or look like they don’t belong? Because I have to tell you, there’s a few Flames players that don’t look like they belong anymore. In fact every night there’s a handful of them.
