Starring top goaltending prospect Antero Niittymaki, young Flyers defensemen Joni Pitkanen and Dennis Seidenberg, 2003 first-round draft pick Jeff Carter and Northeast Philadelphia's very own Tony Voce, the Phantoms won an AHL-record 17 straight games earlier in the season and remained one of the league's elite teams throughout the year.

The Phantoms went 4-6 vs. the Admirals in 2004-05 and will be meeting Norfolk in the East Division Semifinals for the second year in a row. Last season, Philadelphia captured the series in six games before losing to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the division finals.
