Phantoms Take Opener, 1-0

Saturday, October 12, 2002

SJSports Special Correspondent

Hockey during the 2002-03 season is supposed to be about opening up the flow of the game, about letting skill and finesse take center stage. At least that is the plan. But the hockey on display in Philadelphia on Saturday night instead resembled the sluggish, defensive variety so prevalent in recent seasons. The Phantoms did manage a meager bit of offense, though, and it was just enough to defeat the Rochester Americans, 1-0. A opening night crowd of 7,595 at the First Union Spectrum saw Mark Greig's one-time blast with 29 seconds to play on Saturday night provide the difference.
