Mike Ashmore's Great American Sports Tour | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tour Stop #PHI | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
February 27, 2005 - Penguins at Phantoms - Philadelphia, PA Well, I'm a day removed from covering my first Phantoms game, and this is starting to become second nature again. I think it took me a few games to get back in the flow of things, but things went well. I got there about two hours early and hung out in the lower press room for a while. Then I went up to the cramped press box to take my spot and watch the game. After a scoreless first, things really picked up and it became a pretty nice game. Philadelphia lost 3-2 on a late shorthanded goal. The goalie matchup was a little disappointing, Fleury-Niittymakki, both of whom I'd seen already. After the game, I interviewed Todd Fedoruk, Jon Sim and Patrick Sharp and those all went well. I think I'll be able to go back before the season is over, I'd like to get some more work done there. |
