Hockey Season is back

I should be writting so much more right now that hockey season is back.
With the return of hockey season there has been a flood of new players on twitter.  Because I definitely am not able to keep up with all of the players and their tweets I am discontinuing twitter points.  It may return now and then but overall I will not be keeping it as regular as I had been last season. 

 This season has been tough for me so far.  I physically can not stand to watch the Flyers because of Jagr.  I know its the crest on the front not the name on the back I am truly struggling with this and hope that he does not stay. 

I have lots of great road trips in the works.  I recently bought tickets to see the Flames for a portion of their east coast swing. 
I have to work in an AHL trip to see Danny Syvret and I have some obstacles at the moment. 

I have been to 2 Flyers games so far.  Here are the links for the pictures.  There are not many Flyers pictures as like I said I truly physically can not stand to watch with Jagr.

I did get my Winter Classic, Alumni and Phantoms outdoor game tickets.  I am very excited for these games.  I promise to blog and take as many pictures as possible for these games. 

Ok that is all for tonight I promise to write more frequently in coming weeks.  Take care and good hockey!

Another Slacker update

I get lazy at this time of year.  First let's do twitter points
I saw a Phantoms and Flyers games in the last 2 weeks.  Mike Cammalleri had a great evening this past week going back and for with Mike Commodore he gets 5 points for this efforts.

I declare Danny Syvret the twitter points winner and Rob Schremp the loser of this regular season contest. 

Twitter points summer tweeting edition will start once the Stanley Cup is awarded.  Any and All NHL, AHL. & OHL players on twitter will be included in this list.  5 point for making me laugh and 10 points for tweeting back to me. 

Now on to the good stuff.  The pictures from the 2 games I attended.

first Phantoms

Yes I know already saw the Crunch and Phantoms go at it.  Same results Phantoms won.  This time by a bigger margin.  It was a good game.  I liked the Phantoms logos but not the lettering on the jerseys for this game.  These jerseys were auctioned off post game with Leighton's going for $1,000.


Second Flyers

Flyers finally won a game at home.  Maybe this is a sign of things to come.  I will say that it remains to be seen if that was the tipping point to finally sustain the momentum needed to carry them forward with confidence in the first round of the playoffs.  We will find out later this week.  Stay tuned.

That is all I have for right now.  until next time. 

I am a slacker here is an update

Definitely I am a slacker.  First a twitter points update.  It was pointed out that I should add Matt Carle @mattcarle25 and James Van Riemsdyk @JVReemer21 to my twitter points list.  I am adding them but only as of the beginning of February. I am also adding now former phantom Greg Moore back to the beginning of the season.  Some new comers to the list since I saw the Coyotes play in Philly.  As expected Mike Cammalleri did not play and falls to last place.

My next game is March 22nd Caps at Flyers.  I will update more after that next game.  

12/8/10 Sharks at Flyers and Twitter points update

First I want to say that if you are not following Phantoms players Danny Syvret and Stefan Legein you truly are missing out on some really funny things.  Please follow these guys. 

 It was pointed out that I need to add Mike Testwuide & Andrew Rowe to my points list as I have seen them play and they are on twitter. 

Danny Syvret (@dannysyvret) 48

Andrew Rowe (@RoweAndrew) 40
Mike Testwuide (@MikeTestwuide) 20
Matt Moulson (@mmoulson) 20
Mike Cammalleri (@mcammalleri13) 20
Stefan Legein (@Stefanlegein) 10
Rob Schremp (@Robschremp) 4

Future possible points Danny Syvret 40, Stefan Legein 40, Mike Testwuide 40, Andrew Rowe 40, & Mike Cammalleri 20

Ok well by now you have read all the analysis on the Sharks game so I am not even going to try to say anything further especially since the Flyers have already played again vs Toronto and won.  Who cares about the loss 2 days ago. 

Just look at the pictures then....

My next hockey adventure is a Phantoms game.  Hopefully weather permitting I will attend.  Right now the weather looks promising.

Syvret returns and twitter points update

Well I did not go to Syracuse as I had originally planned this past weekend so twitter points continue to stand as

 Danny Syvret (@dannysyvret) 23
Matt Moulson (@mmoulson) 20
Stefan Legein (@Stefanlegein) 20
Rob Schremp (@Robschremp) 4
Mike Cammalleri (@mcammalleri13) 0

 Potential points Danny Syvret 20, Stefan Legein 20 and Mike Cammalleri 20.

Mike's points should get added after tonight and Syvret & Legein after Saturday.

Tonight I am attending the Habs at the Flyers.  I am again testing another new camera.  I think this one will be much more to my satisfaction as it is essentially a newer version of my current camera.   Follow my twitter stream tonight for pictures and updates.  Just a reminder I am a Mike Cammalleri fan. 


Syvret is returned to the Flyers organization.  I know that everyone expects me to be on top of the world at his return.  I would say that I am not.  I do not see Syvret getting his NHL shot with his return to the Flyers.  I most want to see Syvret play full time at the NHL level.  Anaheim looked like a bright ray of hope for Syvret to keep with the NHL squad out of camp and then reality came.  He was up and down for October & November.  Ducks having complied too many defensemen and the injured now getting healthy Syvret was now on the outside. 
Flyers trade and bring him back.  Where it is very much the same situation as the Ducks.  The Flyers have 7 healthy d on the roster with one coming back from injury in the near future.  Syvret most likely will not see ice time for the Flyers this season. 
Syvret chose to sign elsewhere this summer.  In my opinion I would not expect him to be resigned by the Flyers next season either. 

 I did find it odd that the Flyers traded to get 2 players who chose to pass on the Flyers for other teams.  Is that Holmgren sending a message to players?
