A discussion on the retirement of Phlex, Phantoms mascot, and minor league hockey in general

  • Dan: Phlex is retiring! "'Phlex will miss the Phantoms a great deal, but it’s time for him to move to a new chapter in his life,' said Phlex’s spokesman, Andrew Hill. Phlex will assist in the search for a new representative for the Phantoms organization.... All fans will be encouraged to sign a giant farewell card that will be presented to Phlex as a sendoff at his retirement party."
  • Molly: Ha! I loved Phlex, but the only real reason to go to Phantoms games was that they fight more in minor league hockey.
  • Dan: Ha, is that true?
  • Molly: That may be an assumption based on the movie Slap Shot.
