Pre-season hockey is about one thing and one thing only – fighting. If you don’t think John Stevens, and more likely Paul Holmgren, has the roster already carved out and are actually brining guys on this trip because they really need to see them in live action in order to make that decision than your crazier than a blogger who would try to guess what the lines might be for this upcoming season (see post below). Some guys will dress just because the organization wants to give them a taste, some will dress as a favor for all their contributions to the Phantoms, some will dress because they simply need bodies in order to rest the vets. It’s like picking a dog at the pound – you don’t really need to see what a labranodl can do out there in the puppy bowl because you already walked by him in his cage and knew he wasn’t the dog for you.
