Frank Seravalli had a very good story on philly.com the other day that gave us some insight into what exactly is going on up there in Glen Falls. If you have a cup of coffee and 5 minutes, which you obviously do because you're wasting your time here, it's a good read.
Last night the Phantoms suffered a difficult loss to the Syracuse Crunch. And by difficult I mean going into the third winning 5-3, giving up 3 goals, the winner being a short-handed tally, difficult.
I'm late the party as usual (just getting into C+C Music Factory) but everyone who has a computer should be following @PSPhantoms on Twitter. And if you're still not using Twitter because it sounds stupid the truth is that you're right - it is. But it's also like another inbox for you to check where only stories that you're interested in come through. You just have to sift through the hundreds of internet broadcasters that announce goals like you didn't see them. Not a big deal. You could also set up an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) if you want your blogs and articles delivered to you, but we'll leave that for the old man who gives away cd-roms about the eBay to explain to you.
You can't stop progress.
 Which means you also can't stop the United States of America. Yesterday was a bit tense but we got through it ('we' as in me and them). I think that Finland is the perfect opponent for us at this point. They're a team that the US should be scared of, which if the Canada game is any indication, makes us play better. They're also a team with that ass hotdish Kimmo Timonen (sorry Kimmo) and his buddies Lasse Kukkonen, Janne Niskala, and Joni Pitkanen. Finland's Defense is sponsored by the Philadelphia Flyers. I'm still pissed that the game is being played at noon in Vancouver. The women's tournament will be over tomorrow so why wouldn't they have a 4 PM game and a 7PM game? I've not been very interested in getting on the NBC bashing bandwagon this Olympics, because frankly I don't give a shit what channel the game's on, whether I miss 5 minutes because of curling, or who is announcing, but I don't really see the rationale behind the scheduling tomorrow. What can you do…
While the Phantoms play the Admirals tomorrow, and the US plays Finland tomorrow, this is what you're up against this weekend. Remember what we've practiced. Buy more food and beer than you can fit into your car, make sure all your devices are powered as much as they can be in case the power goes out, bust out the candles, and buy Trivial Pursuit and you'll be ok. Or at least drunk in the dark. Which means if you can find a spark you can dance. Which should be of some comfort.
