BSH Radio 8: Tim McManus of the Glens Falls Post-Star on everything Phantoms

Tim McManus, Adirondack Phantoms beat writer at the Glens Falls Post-Star, joins the show this week to talk about everything Phantoms. Unfortunately, at recording, we weren't aware of Johan Backlund's injury, but that doesn't take away from the discussion we had at all.

We talked about the inseparable defensive duo, Kevin Marshall and Marc-Andre Bourdon. We talked goalies, from Backlund to Jeremy Duchesne (now a Flyer?!) to Nic Riopel. We talked forwards, from Patrick Maroon to Stefan Legein.

Tim gave us updates on Mika Pyorala and Danny Syvret. Syvret is injured, by the way. We also checked on on Ryan Dingle (yeah, the throw-in from the Pronger deal) to see if he ever has a shot at making the NHL. Greeted with laughter.

Finally, we discuss the future of the Phantoms in Glens Falls and when we should expect to see them in the Lehigh Valley.

After Tim leaves us, we play back this week's trivia competition. William, aka CoburnsCuddleBuddy, came on to challenge Mr. Ben Rothenberg. Listen to find the results.

Get the show after the jump.

We'd also like to remind you of our new feature where you can leave a rant and get on the program. Have a crazy uncle who hates Sidney Crosby and everything to do with fluoridated water? Have him call in and leave a rant! Or, if you're just pissed off after a terrible call on the ice and you need somewhere to vent, call in and leave a rant. The line is open all week long and you can connect easily using the embedded button below.

Enter your number and your phone will ring. Pick up, and it prompts you to leave a voicemail. It's the easiest way to get yourself on next week's show.

That was mocking laughter that you’d doubt Dingle’s ability to contribute at the NHL level, right? Right?

"When you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe"
