FD19372 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I can see it now when he walks into the Phantom head coach's office. (hc): "Rosebud, we have certain expectations for you in Adirondack like serving fresh popcorn to management." Rosehill: "It's Rosehill, sir and I haven't dropped a bag of popcorn in 3 seasons." I just can't see what purpose bringing this guy back serves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 just can't see what purpose bringing this guy back serves. Same here. I know he's very respected on the Phantoms and in the org in general....but even taking up a 4th line role in the AHL seems a bit much, some fairly promising youngster will be denied a chance to develop properly....what a waste.

Samifan Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Rosehill needed one more year in the organ-eye-zay-schun before he could be promoted to assistant coach. They are grooming him to be the next Riley Cote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 awesome... hopefully he can push Rinaldo for a spot on the team ... oh wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 As long as he stays in Lehigh, I don't really give a rat's posterior. I can't even imagine that there's someone even remotely worthwhile as a player who's going to be "blocked" by not getting Rosehill's fourth line time.

mojo1917 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 he must love the game. i don't hate him. He is a fast skater and hard worker. he strikes me as being a good guy and a professional. those are good behaviors to model. we have a bunch of young guys that we hope are character guys too but it never hurts to have veteran presence with some "presence" in the room.

OccamsRazor Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Punching bags are way cheaper...oh wait. I will say this in Rosehill's defense he is far from a punching bag. In fact i think the only one who could give him a beat down maybe just maybe would be Orr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did more than hold his own weight in fights, I'll give Rosehill that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poconono Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Up here in Phantomsland he's appreciated as a great citizen and excellent role model off the ice, but jeezus, when he's on the ice you just know the Phantoms will be killing a long penalty at any moment. He takes totally ridiculous penalties that serve no purpose at all. He's worse than Rinaldo - at least Zack thought he was giving the team a spark when he ran someone into the boards or mouthed-off. Rosie just acts like an idiot out there. Talk about out of control... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will be up to Gordon to decide the lineup on a nightly basis so i'm hoping he wants to win and if that is the case then goons should be fetching popcorn till really needed.So I will give him the benefit of doubt till I see otherwise.

jammer2 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'm still wondering where Hexy junior is gonna end up. The Flyers signed Brett Hextall to a contract, he will play for the Phantoms....must be nice having a Dad as an NHL GM, huh? This might be the worst favourtism since Clarke signed his son in law Peter White to a AHL deal.....well, then you have Lukko also, who would probably be bagging groceries if his Dad did not have all these connections. http://www.nj.com/flyers/index.ssf/2014/08/flyers_minor-league_team_signs_gm_ron_hextalls_son_to_1-year_contract.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poconono Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 That story's from last year Jammer. He signed a one year contract. Right now he's still waiting according to Bob Rotruck, the Phantoms' radio guy. But I won't be shocked if he is re-signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 well, then you have Lukko also, who would probably be bagging groceries if his Dad did not have all these connections. Luukko's a C level prospect on hockey'sfuture http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/Nick_Luukko They have him rated higher in "probability of success" than Tyler Goulbourne and at exactly the same level as Brandon Manning. Luukko possess solid skating, good vision, and a decent skill-set overall. Though he does not necessarily excell at one particular aspect of the defensive game on the ice, he is a smart hockey player with some good size to play on the blueline. "solid if unspectacular" He was a sixth round pick. Sounds like a reasonable AHL level player to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
