It had already been a rough year for Phantom sophomore Patrick Maroon. From October 16th through December 26th, 24 games, he didn’t’ score a single goal. Over two full months. After putting up a very impressive line his rookie season with the Phantoms in 2008-09 with 23 goals and 31 assist in 80 games it looked like only a matter of time until the 6’4 Maroon would be standing in front of the net on the Flyers 2nd powerplay unit, doing what Scott Hartnell should be doing and Mike Knuble used to. But he now found himself in the proverbial slump. For Maroon to see any time with the Flyers this season he would have most likely needed to be on a 40 goal pace with the Phantoms, if not 50. But he kept working and playing hard and was actually still getting in on scoring chances, with assists filling the void where some of his goals should have been. But a guy like him needs goals, not Jared Ross numbers.
