Finally, a win!

It was pure pleasure to see the Bears actually win a game last night, defeating the Philadelphia Phantoms in a solid effort. In particular, it was delightful to see the Bears put together three periods of consistent, well-played hockey in one game, and it showed in the result. The passing was better, the effort was better, everything was much improved over a week ago.

Even though I wasn't that impressed with the Reading Royals when we saw them in early March, I have to say that I thought Shawn Collymore played quite well, including his assist on a goal for his first point with Hershey. I hope Hershey continues to take a close look at him. The return of Andrew Gordon also provided some much-needed offensive punch.

After last night, Hershey finds itself tied for fourth in the division but with two games in hand on Binghamton. We need to maintain last night's intensity for the remainder of the season if we hope to have a decent shot at the playoffs.
