News Update

https://theahl.com/ahl-award-winners-november-2022

Quote:
The American Hockey League announced today that Calgary Wranglers forward Matthew Phillips, Iowa Wild forward Sammy Walker and Hershey Bears goaltender Hunter Shepard have been selected as the league’s award winners for November.

Phillips, the AHL Player of the Month, scored nine goals and added nine assists for 18 points in 12 games for Calgary during November.

Phillips scored the winning goal with 1:35 to play in the Wranglers’ 3-2 victory over Tucson on Nov. 4, and paced the Calgary offense with a hat trick in an 8-2 win over San Jose on Nov. 6. His goal in a 4-0 win over the Barracuda two nights later ran his scoring streak to eight games, and he finished the month with a six-game streak, beginning with two assists in a 5-1 win at Bakersfield on Nov. 18. He scored the game-winner in the rematch with Bakersfield on Nov. 19, and picked up a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over Coachella Valley on Nov. 22. Phillips then had back-to-back three-point games against Abbotsford, including a two-goal night on Nov. 25 and a career-high three assists on Nov. 27.

Phillips leads the AHL in scoring with 26 points and is tied for the league lead with 13 goals in 18 games for the Wranglers. The 24-year-old Calgary native is in his fifth pro season and has totaled 80 goals and 107 assists for 187 points in 217 AHL games with Calgary and Stockton, setting career highs with 31 goals and 68 points in 2021-22. A sixth-round pick by the Flames in the 2016 NHL Draft, Phillips has played one game in the NHL, making his debut on May 19, 2021, vs. Vancouver.

If they can’t give a guy like that an opportunity at a time when the main club is struggling badly with scoring… it’s mind boggling.

We need a giff of Brad at the airport with flowers trying desperately to stop the plane from leaving.

3.00 goals per game...mid pack, totally overblown because of a couple games on the road trip

congrats to Phillips

Watch Schwindt be the next call-up and everyone losing their heads... officially launching the anti-Schwindt faction of CalgaryPuck.

Which will make the decision to call him up even more puzzling.

I would just take a call up, let alone it being Phillips (it should be).

Well it's incredibly tight...Flames are 3.0 and the high powered Leafs are 3.04

Looking at the sched I see the Flames climbing the ladder in the near future...Phillips or no Phillips

I'm not arguing against calling him up but the scoring thing is overblown IMO

When averaging the entire 22 games yes, it appears that the Flames are scoring enough. But in the final 3 games of the road trip the Flames scored just 3 goals total, losing all 3 games. That's what has people slightly concerned. Yes the Flames put up a 6 spot the other night, but it was against a team playing the 2nd half of a back to back while missing their #1C and their goaltender clearly struggling.

Things might be trending in the right direction, but then again, they might not be. The rest of this homestand will likely provide us some answers.

That was kinda my point...it's overblown because of a recent poor streak.

Well... the Flames have scored 2 or fewer goals in 8 of their last 16 games. So it's not as simple as just saying "it was a little streak and now it's over".
