Phantoms update

[Seabass 593]

The Phantoms had quite the rough start as they were sitting at the bottom of the league's standings earlier this week after they started the season winning only 1 of their first 6 games. They've recently bounced up from the cellar of the league standings to the 9th position with their two recent wins against the Malmo Nighthawks. The Phantoms have been outshot in every one of their games so far, sometimes heavily but thanks to unbelievable play from Solomon Crawford and a high team shooting percentage the Phantoms have been able to steal a few wins. 

 

Crawford seems to be settling in well after a rough start in his Phantom's career and he seems to be the Phantoms saving grace right now as the team shouldn't even be winning games if you look at shot totals. He's playing well above .900 right now at .911 which is a first for Crawford. Not too shabby considering he's playing for a team who's currently letting the most shots against through to their goalie at 338 shots against which is almost 50 more then the next team. He took the starting role this year and he's just running with it. 

 

Even though the team is currently 3-6 the team has 3 players among the VHL's top 10 point getters with Roll FIzzlebeef, Ben McGirr and Seabass Perrin all tied for 8th in the league with 10 points. That's a first for the young Phantoms franchise but it all means nothing if the team can't find a way to limit shots against and come up with a winning record. Lets hope next week will turn out a little better for the Phantoms.
