The Phantoms kicked off game one of their home stand last Friday against Hershey, and put on quite the show for the Black Friday crowd. They dropped the first goal of the night, but came back and scored three unanswered (two from Greg Carey and one from Mike Vecchione) to propel themselves into a comfortable lead, one which they wouldn’t relinquish. Further goals from Phil Varone, Philippe Myers, and Mikhail Vorobyev (shorthanded) sealed up the 6-2 win for the Phantoms.
Saturday’s game, then, would oddly enough prove to be just about the complete mirror image of Friday’s, as the Phantoms scored two goals early (from Greg Carey and Nicolas Aube-Kubel in the first minute and seven seconds of play), but couldn’t really get much going after that.
