True Story: Phantoms Win

We don't normally congratulate individual teams here when they win, but here's an exception: The Phantoms won their first D-League game last night, 1-0, over the Misfits. They improved to 1-16. The Phantoms deserve a lot of credit for moving up from I-League as a team and fighting hard against teams that have spent years in D-League. It's a challenging adjustment.

Nate Hodges had the game winner at the 8:23 mark of the third period. Brandon Suits and Travis Baker got assists. And, Jesse Gonzales was perfect in net on 21 shots. Nice job.

Better yet, Jesse showed up for 7 a.m. drop-in at Farmers Branch today despite skating until midnight in Euless. Bravo, man.
