R.I.P.

The Philadelphia Phantoms are donezo. They've officially been sold and will be relocating for next season. I feel weird and uncomfortable about this. As a Baby Pens fan, I've always hated the Phantoms with a passion. The rivalry provided for great, heated games between the two. I remember guys like Jesse Boulerice, Kirby Law, Boyd Kane, Neil Little and Antero Niitymaki. I also remember their hideous eggplant purple uniforms they used the one year -- I think it might have been 2005. It's just going to be strange not to have the Philly Phantoms around.

I hate to say it, but I'll miss them.
