The Phantoms have been sold

The BIGSTUD · February 04, 2009, 05:10:40 PM

They are talking about it on Daily News Live. No idea to who and where, but Luuko is on and they said they will get the whole minor league thing figured out. They'll be in the mix in the AHL.

QB Eagles · February 04, 2009, 08:46:04 PM

A group from Pittsburgh bought them and is hoping to move them to the Lehigh Valley.

allentown wouldn't be awful

ice grillin you · February 05, 2009, 10:25:05 AM

it was so awesome to have them in philly...compared to that situation anywhere else is awful....could be allentown could be billings and it wouldnt much matter

SunMo · February 05, 2009, 10:37:16 AM

well, tearing down the specrtum to build a hotel and strip mall is awful, so anything coming from that is awful in it's own right.

but accepting the situation that they were going to have to move, allentown is the best of those scenarios.

ice grillin you · February 05, 2009, 10:45:12 AM

true...i just dont care as i will never see them play again if they arent in philly

SunMo · February 05, 2009, 10:46:04 AM

i just went last saturday night, i forgot how tiny those spectrum seats were, i was 10 rows from the ice...$19.

i also got a sweet commemorative spectrum cup

ice grillin you · February 05, 2009, 10:49:24 AM

what does the cup look like/say on it

i hope they have commerative shtein out the ass at that sixer game...i purposely got 3rd level seats just so i could sit where i grew up watching the flyers and sixers...maybe ill even bang on the big air conditioners again

SunMo · February 05, 2009, 10:53:18 AM

it's one of those cups where the picture changes when you move it. the 3 teams are shown:

sixers: doc/mo

flyers: clarke/?

phantoms: calder trophy with stevens as a player and something else

ice grillin you · February 05, 2009, 10:54:45 AM

SunMo · February 05, 2009, 10:56:06 AM

no, sorry. i'm doing it off memory, but it's cheeks brining the ball up on the break. he was the coach when they designed it i'm sure.
