The Phantoms head to Cedar Rapids for the first time in over a season.
Early season off-weeks suck. I'm just throwing that out there. It breaks my groove just when I've gotten into it. That said, maybe the Phantoms (2-4-0-0) needed a week off to regroup after a pair of losses on the road in Madison. It's not just that they were losses, but that they looked completely out of sorts on the ice, especially Saturday, and only scored 1 goal on the weekend. This week, the Phantoms will jump back into action on the road, a trip to Cedar Rapids (1-4-0-0) to play the RoughRiders, a team with struggles of their own and a few familiar faces.

The 'Riders top scorer will be a name you probably recognize, Cole Burtch. Until the off week, he wore a Phantoms jersey and was our leading returning scorer from last season. After notching a goal and an assist for the Phantoms in 6 games, he put up a pair of goals and an assist in his debut for the 'Riders. The only other scorer on their roster with multiple goals is Adam Flammang, with 2. Their forwards sport a few more Youngstown ties. Yusaku Ando, traded in the off season, has an assist in 4 games and Nate Hanley, who we traded to Green Bay last season after 14 games, is back with the 'Riders who drafted him.

I don't have a lot on their defense, what I've seen of it so far has not left a big impression other than it needed some help. In the trade with Youngstown last week, we also sent them Cole Teleki. I liked the play of Eric Pohlkamp, a heavy framed '04 defenseman who can play physical. He's someone I think will develop into a top 4 guy by next season, if not before this season is over.
