The Phantoms are very lucky that this wasn’t another one of their single game weekends, because hoo boy was that first game rough. After looking very sharp in their first game, we were hoping they could keep that momentum rolling into Friday’s game, and they, uh, did not do that. They got blown out 7-0, and that’s just about the result you can expect when you take 16 penalty minutes and your penalty kill allows five goals (more on that later). Saturday’s rematch in Springfield would prove a chance for the Phantoms to redeem themselves, and this of course could only unfold in the most dramatic fashion possible.
