Please share with me anything hockey players say on twitter that is interesting.
I know in about a month or so rookie camp will start. I don't have that much longer to wait but its very hard right now with out hockey. Hockey is a big portion of my time 9 months of the year. Most of my friends I see at game or go on roadtrips with to see games. My TV habits are about watching hockey or hockey related programing. Right now there is just nothing going on. What is going on is like oh that happened. It keeps your attention for maybe an hour. I am a restless soul in need of a hockey fix. I just have to wait it out at this point. It is hard epecially with the very hot weather. Ok take care everyone!

trades & off season twitter points
First lets do some twitter points.
Stanley Cup being awarded means now it is really the off season and Summer Twitter Points can begin.
I have opened this up to any OHL, CHL, WHL, AHL, or NHL player on twitter.
Folks I recommend you follow
Ned Lukacevic @nedluka
Michael Grabner @grabs40
Marty Biron @martybiron43
Bobby Ryan @b_ryan9
Joffrey Lupul @jlupul
Matt Carle @MattCarle25
Sadly Stefan Legein no longer has a twitter. I will miss his tweets
Ok points
@nedluka 20 points (Psycho Airport wife was very entertaining yesterday)
@martybiron43 10 points for his reaction to the Flyers trades
@mattcarle25 5 points for chirping about the Pens draft choice
I know I don't see everything that gets posted so if you see a player tweet some thing memorable please please share with me for points consideration.
Flyers and Calgary trade the players whose jerseys I have....
Maybe I am to blame my curse still holds. Players I get jerseys for get hurt & traded/don't resign.
I definitely understand and don't understand all at the same time the flyers decision to trade Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. From the legal department point of view a huge sigh of relief these guys are gone. Their off ice reputations proceed them. From an educated fan view these guys were the core of our team. They are in their prime and put up points. I think they needed something to kick them into gear again that they had plateaued. We won't get to know what it would have been like to have Richards with out Carter.
Flames have done a similar thing to the Flyers. They got rid of a leadership person who was once rumored to have led their own faction in the locker room. Regher seemed fine once Neon Dion was gone. Back to his steady veteran presence controlled self. The Flames were back on track but only in the 2nd half of the season. Maybe the locker room did need more of a shake up.
It will be interesting to see how both of the teams do after all these changes. I do not think either team is done tweaking their rosters.

now that I have had time to digest it...
I have had a month to deal with the Flames not making the playoffs after their great stretch run. I have had only a couple of days to deal with the Flyers elimination from the post season.
Neither of the above scenarios left a good taste in my mouth Flames deserved a better fate. They had the heart, grit and momentum going for them. I would have loved to seen them tare it up as an 8th seed.
The Flyers stumbled their way into the playoffs and failed to perform in the 2nd round. Considering how Jekyl & Hyde they were down the stretch I am not at all surprised they had an early exit. I do not think anyone who has watched the Flyers since February should be surprised at the Flyers early exit.
It has been interesting reading all the post assigning blame. Pronger said it best in his CSN interview "you win as a team and you loose as a team". Winning and loosing are both infectious at times.
For me I know when I lose I question myself completely. I question and analyze my entire performance. I am my worst critic. That doesn't build my confidence. At times that is what takes it down. Just going off of what I do I can't imagine how those players feel. They can't play another game til September or a game that counts til October, That is a long time to chew on your last performance. No one is going to put any greater blame on each of them then themselves.
For all the couch critics out there think about if you were in the players shoes a bit.
ok other things now....
I did not accomplish near enough shenanigans as I would have liked to have accomplished this hockey season. For next season I hope to have a little more fun and make things a bit more shenanigans for those following along. Suggestions are always welcome.
There will be summer updates. You can count on that. Check in after the Stanley cup is awarded for summer twitter points. Can Danny Syvret maintain his grip on the top spot guess we will find out?

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.
Danny Syvret (@dannysyvret) 153

Scottie Upshall (ScottieUpshall) 20
Paul Bissonette (@biznasty2point0) 20
Mike Cammalleri (@mcammalleri13) 5
Rob Schremp (@Robschremp) 4
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
http://www.flickr.com/photos/neat1325/sets/72157626344213619/
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
http://www.flickr.com/photos/neat1325/sets/72157626344709059/
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.

Twitter Points update and a Busy hockey week
Danny Syvret and Stefan Legein are getting 5 points each for entertaining me this morning as well as reminding me I never did this post last night.

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.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/neat1325/sets/72157625860955234/
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:
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

Andrew Rowe (@RoweAndrew) 60

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.
