Twitter Points are updated as of Sunday's Phantoms game. I have one more Phantoms game this week so the top players should get additional points.
I am going to Habs at Flyers tonight I think I will be subtracting points from Mr Cammalleri.
First the pictures

The Phantoms to me looked tired. I am very sure that they were tired. 4.5 hours to Glens Falls after Friday's game and 5.5 Hours to Hershey from Glens Falls I would be too. Not much sleep and alot of hockey.
I was really proud of the Phantoms for keeping Hershey off the board in the first period. It didn't hold up as well the rest of the game but you could see these guys were not giving up with out a fight. There was fighting and Defensemen jumping up on the rush. To me these are signs that this team is far from done. I wish them continued success on Wednesday.
Eric Wellwood and Stefan Legein were both injured in this game. Legein was injured by Souray. It seems everytime the Phantoms play the Bears this season Souray is involved with some injury.

The Phantoms did really well last night beating the league leading Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins. I think this shows that the Phantoms can play with anyone and have a very bright future.
Here are the pictures from last night. I hope you enjoy them.

I am attending several Phantoms games over this next stretch. Provided everything goes well I will be adding 20 points for each game.
Mike Cammalleri was injured this week I do not think he will be playing on Tuesday when I go to see the Flyers play the Canadiens. You never know but knowing my luck that will be the case.
This little stretch is pretty busy for me. I saw the Flyers Tuesday night. As you can tell I never got a post up about that game but I will give you the link for the pictures.

I have 3 Phantoms games and one Flyers game with in the next week. Please check back for Pictures and other updates.
I am really looking forward to tonight's Phantoms game. I miss the Phantoms. It had become my Friday night activity. I am glad they are here for a Friday night game. I feel with the amount of Twitter interaction that the Phantoms as just as close and familiar as the Flyers for me. I am glad that so many of them have embraced that media. I hope that all of those out there who are always saying bring up this one and that one come out and take a look at those players. Game is on TV tonight too. If you can not come watch in person watch on TV. Take a look at these guys you want on the big roster.
I do feel really bad for the Phantoms. They play here in Philly tonight then tomorrow in Glens Falls then Sunday in Hershey. That is quite a few hours on the bus. I would hope that the AHL schedule makers look next year. It may have been better to do home and home with Hershey or Wilkes Barre or maybe to have had Wilkes Barre, Binghamton, then Hershey to keep travel time to a minimum. I think it will be hard on the Phantoms this weekend with all of that travel. I will see though and let you know.

Twitter points update & Hertiage Classic > Winter Classic
Twitter Points update:

My games for January changed a bit so does the future possible points.
Future possible points Danny Syvret 60, Stefan Legein 60, Mike Testwuide 60, Andrew Rowe 60, & Mike Cammalleri 20.
Heritage Classic thoughts
Maybe it is the Flames fan in me but I was not at all excited about this years Winter Classic knowing that the Flames will be playing the Canadians outside in February. I thought that the HBO series helped fuel this years Winter Classic anticipation but not enjoying either of the teams playing makes it hard to keep my attention. For me the Heritage classic has two of my favorite things the Calgary Flames and Mike Cammalleri. Truly unless Cammalleri went back to being a Flame and the Flames played the Flyers, I couldn't be much happier.
I have noticed that most of the talk has moved forward to who will be in next years Winter Classic but there is still one more NHL outdoor game this year. I think that we need to make sure that is as much of a success as the Winter Classic.
I urge you all to tell your friends and your neighbors to watch this year's Heritage classic. It will take place on Sunday February 20th it will be televised on Versus.

12/21/10 Flyers skills competition
First no Richards due to a maintenance day and no Boucher due to having his wisdom teeth out.
The crowd for this event filled most of the lower bowl and the first two rows of the top.
True to their word the Flyers really did start the event at 5 with a team practice for an hour.
6:30 the players came out. Most were wearing baseball hats vs their helmets. Hartnell decided to get the crowd into it going from side to side doing the Hulk Hogan I can't hear you bit. There were alot of kids in the crows who responded to his actions.
Many of the players kids came out to watch from the Flyers bench.
The players did seem to enjoy this competition. They didn't seem to take it seriously but used it for some great fun.
James Van Reimsdyk was the star of the night participating in every event and winning most of them.
Here are the pictures

12/20/10 Panthers at Flyers
I don't feel the need to update Twitter points since the update was just yesterday.
Pictures from last night's game
http://www.flickr.com/photos/neat1325/sets/72157625645162080/
The Flyers game was a complete stinker. I know that the Flyers get that once in a while, but 5-0 shut out to the Panthers. Really?
I feel like the Flyers tend to lose before fan things like the Carnival. I don't have every date of previous fan things to compare that but I know that in recent memory they home game before the carnival has not been a winning statistic . Tonight we have the Flyers doing a free skills competition for the fans.
I decided to take a statistical look at the Flyers record on the last home game before Christmas. In Some cases the Flyers played on Christmas I used those records. The Flyers are 24-12-5 the home game before Christmas, making last night a fluky thing.
Tonight's skills competition should be interesting. The tickets were free to the fans. Hopefully the Flyers will be up for the challenge tonight and put on a good show for the fans.

12/18/10 Heat @ Phantoms and Twitter points update
I was asked to explain twitter points. 3 points are given for an @ reply, 5 points for making me laugh and 20 points for playing in a game I bought tix to see them in.

Stefan lost points for still being out when I went to last nights game but he has made me laugh quite a bit lately.
Future possible points Danny Syvret 40, Stefan Legein 40, Mike Testwuide 40, Andrew Rowe 40, & Mike Cammalleri 20
It was really sad last night to see how empty a building that the Phantoms are playing in for a home crowd.
I will say what fans were there are very loyal. The one guy by us was telling his friends that he attended the win on Friday and was wearing all the same clothing except for socks as the previous night because he did not want to jinx them winning.
I was truly happy getting to see the Heat live. Phantoms vs Heat sounded great to me. My loyalty was for the Phantoms who I wanted to see so badly succeed.
It was a good game. I did not see the Phantoms get that deflated look after the Heat scored. That to be was the most positive of signs. This could be a corner turner for them.
Things I do have to question are the over use of some players. The players that I felt were being over used look very tired and worn down to me. I know this is the grind part of the season and I am hoping that the break on a positive note helps that worn down look I saw happening.
Ben Holmstrom was absolutely on fire on the faceoff dot last night. I didn't keep track of his wins but I felt like it was a nice high percentage. Kevin Marshall looked better then he has in previous outings, not as much out of position as I had previously seen.
Phantoms lack in the defensive defenseman category offensive defenseman are a good thing but not when their defense is shaky. I love seeing Logan Stephenson out there.
At any rate 2 wins in a row for the Phantoms is a great thing.
