philadelphia phantoms

In an odd twist, the Phantoms will open the playoffs at home tonight, despite the fact that they are the number four seed playing the number one seed, Hershey. The Bears' home, GIANT Center, is hosting Disney On Ice this weekend and cannot hold games one or two, so the Phantoms get a bit of an advantage. Hershey still holds home ice edge, though. They will host games three, four, five, and seven. If anybody is heading to the Spectrum tonight and wants to write a recap of the game for BSH, shoot me an email.

"When I skated out for the first game, I saw about 2,500 fans in the stands and I’m thinking, this is gonna suck. I decided to have fun with it. I remember the little squirrel running around in my head, thinking I’m just going to go out there, play my game, beat people up, and see what happens. And the fans, man, they fell in love with our team. They kept coming out, attendance kept going up. It was great. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but this became the best place I’ve ever played, and Philly became my home. This is a blue collar town, and the Spectrum reflected that. It’s not about the violence, it’s about putting in a hard-working, honest effort every night."

Phantoms beat Norfolk, within one point of final playoff spot

It appears as though the Phantoms don't want the Spectrum to close next Sunday. They are inching closer and closer to the final East Division playoff spot, and they now sit just one point behind fourth place Binghamton with one game in hand over them. Binghamton lost to Rochester last night by a 4-2 score. Both teams are in action again tonight, with the Phantoms staying in Norfolk and the B'ton hosting Albany. JVR went pointless again last night.
