Philadelphia vs. Chicago --- Cheesesteaks vs. Deep Dish
06/01/05 - American Hockey League (AHL) Philadelphia Phantoms
(PHILADELPHIA, June 1, 2005) - Philadelphia, the home of cheesesteaks, hoagies and Tastykakes, is preparing to battle Chicago, the home of deep-dish pizza, not in a taste-test, but in a battle of who has the best ice hockey team.
The Philadelphia Phantoms, the Flyers' American Hockey League affiliate, and the Chicago Wolves, the AHL affiliate of the Atlanta Thrashers, will battle for the coveted Calder Cup Championship in a best-of-seven series, beginning with Game One on Thursday, June 2 and Game Two on Saturday, June 4, both at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, IL.
The two teams will play in Philadelphia, PA, for Games Three and Four on Wednesday, June 8 and Friday, June 10, both at the Wachovia Center. If necessary, Game Five will be in Philadelphia on Saturday, June 11, while Games Six and Seven will be played in Chicago on Monday, June 13 and Wednesday, June 15.
Here is an off-the-ice playoff preview between the two cities:
Philadelphia has Bobby Clarke, Geno's Steaks, Peanut Chews, TastyKakes, Frank's Root Beer, The Sixth Sense, Rocky, Comcast Tower, Hack, Wilt Chamberlain, NovaCare, Independence Blue Cross, Dietz and Watson, Peco, Temple University Health Systems and Subaru.
Chicago has Bobby Hull, Geno's Pizza, Tootsie Rolls, Nabisco, Filbert's Root Beer, Eight Men Out, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sears Tower, Chicago Hope, Michael Jordan, Wrigleys, M&M Mars, Unicon and Quaker Oats.
The Phantoms' line-up features the future Flyers stars, including top goaltending prospect Antero Niittymaki, young Flyers defensemen Joni Pitkanen and Dennis Seidenberg, 2003 first-round draft picks Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, and Northeast Philadelphia's very own Tony Voce. The Phantoms, who are attempting to capture their second Calder Cup Championship in team history, won an AHL-record 17 straight games earlier in the season and remained one of the league's elite teams throughout the year.
