Well this was certainly an action packed weekend that we just wrapped up. No tight checking slog hockey to be had here, folks, it was all offense all the way. The Phantoms kicked off their back to backs at home on Friday against the Springfield Thunderbirds, a team that’s given them some trouble so far this season, and dispatched of them with relative ease. The Phantoms were peppering the Thunderbirds early, but fell behind 1-0 in the first period. They came back in a big way, though, scoring eight goals in the next two periods (two for Greg Carey and Taylor Leier, and one each for Chris Conner, Mike Vecchione, German Rubtsov, and Cole Bardreau) while only allowing one more, neutralizing the Thunderbirds and bringing them just their second regulation loss of the season.
