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!

Please share with me anything hockey players say on twitter that is interesting.
This is the point in the off season that I have the hardest time with the waiting. I am waiting to know where Danny Syvret will end up. I am waiting for the AHL schedule. I am waiting for training camp information.
Since there is not much I can do about any of the things I am waiting for I thought I would come up with a write up on why a team should sign Danny Syvret.
Gm's
Does your team need a reliable, puck moving, 6th or 7th defenseman?
I have got your guy right here. Danny Syvret has just under 60 regular season NHL games and 10 NHL playoff games. He has averaged .73 points a game in the AHL over the last three seasons and 7 points in his limited NHL career.
Danny knows how to control the pace of a game and makes a great quarterback for a 2nd or 3rd power play unit. His point shot gets to the net through the traffic. Danny keeps it simple and makes that great first pass out.
Aside from his on ice offense Danny is an off ice leader. Great with fans, well spoken with the media and all around team player.
Danny was apart of the OHL London Knights memorial cup team in 2005 as well as the World Junior championship team.
Danny would come at a very cap friendly price as well.
What are you waiting for GM's sign him now!
Thanks as always for reading!

Twitter points update & Hertiage Classic > Winter Classic
Twitter Points update:
I am giving Stefan Legein 20 points for giving his heart out on Twitter about the World Juniors. I think it was commendable the point he was making
Danny Syvret (@dannysyvret) 68
Andrew Rowe (@RoweAndrew) 60
Mike Testwuide (@MikeTestwuide) 40
Stefan Legein (@Stefanlegein) 23
Matt Moulson (@mmoulson) 20
Mike Cammalleri (@mcammalleri13) 20
Rob Schremp (@Robschremp) 4
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.

12/18/10 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.

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.

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.

Devils at Flyers I felt that this game was one of those that the Devils like to lull you to sleep. Maybe it is just because it was my first day game of the season. I was glad the Flyers pulled it out in the end but I will say I was not sure about a good portion of the game as to how it may end.
The new camera worked well... I took a different spot for warmups that I could try some close up shots

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?
