Adirondack Phantoms News Release
PHILADELPHIA - Game dates have been determined for the East Division Semifinal series between the Philadelphia Phantoms and the Hershey Bears. It will be the fourth time the two teams have met in the Calder Cup Playoffs, but the first such occasion in nine years.
Hershey has home ice advantage, but due to the event schedule at GIANT Center, the Phantoms will host the first two games at the Wachovia Spectrum, where the Phantoms clinched their playoff berth last Friday night with a 5-2 win over Hershey in front of a sellout crowd on hand for the final regular season game in the historic building. Games 1 and 2 will be this Thursday and Saturday, respectively, both at 7:05.
The series shifts to Hershey for the next three games between April 22-25. If necessary, the series would return to the Spectrum for Game 6 on Sunday, April 26, and would wrap up on Tuesday, April 28 in Hershey.
The complete series schedule is as follows:
Game 1: Thu, April 16 - Hershey at Philadelphia, 7:05
Game 2: Sat., April 18 - Hershey at Philadelphia, 7:05
Game 3: Wed., April 22 - Philadelphia at Hershey, 7:00
