Shout outs to my txting buddies for today since it was pretty much just me til rookie camp started.
I guess no one paid attention to my report from Friday but the Flyers are skating on their own and the Monday of Rookie on ice campwas no exception. I arrived @ 745 am to see the vets show their stuff.
Today's participants were
Vaananen, Timonen, Kukkonen, Gagne, Lupul, Hartnell, Bartulis, Kane, Munroe, Biron, Coburn, Cote, Carter, Guenin, Syvret, Eminger and Jones plus Russian player invited to camp that I only have the name of Igor and really I am not quite sure that was right.
Players ran drills then did a scrimmage. The Orange had a pretty clear advantage and while I didn't keep score it clear who won.
It was interesting watching how the black team had better zone possession where the Orange squad was mostly doing offense on the rush.
Gagne and Lupul were absolutely Flying today. The new Russian kid was pretty spot on as well.
The Rookies all came out to watch the goings on taking place before them on the ice.

Then Rookie camp.
Steve Downie was late arriving. coming to the ice almost 10 min after everyone else.
Ryan Parent, Chris Zarb, Ned Lukacevic, Claude Giroux were to me clearly the stand outs.

Ryan Parent is clearly on a mission and was spot on for everything I watched today.
In the Scrimmage Orange beat black 5-1.
Claude Giroux was playing center.

Here are my pics

Thanks again for the reports and photos! Are you going to be able to attend a lot of camp this week? Very interesting that Giroux was playing center. I wonder if that will continue into next week when the NHL players start. Any thoughts on Sbisa? Thanks again!

Thanks. Good pix. Wish I knew who 1-6th of those players were but without numbers on their backs I'm at a loss.

I will caption the photos as the week goes on you will know who is who. Well I didn't really see Sbisa today he was not down the end I was mainly observing. The D men for the rookies in black were very solid and physical which to me was a great sign. I am not at camp any more this week I will have reports starting Saturday. I am going to try taking my laptop and doing reports immediately following camp. We will see how it works out.

Great stuff! Thanks for the updates - today's and Friday's too (some of us did pay attention). I wish I was closer so I could go in person, but your reports are the next best thing. I second rshnk29

Of course I always pay attention to the Refs! ;-) Now I am trying to figure out who the Russian guy is, since Bodrov isn't coming after all. Anyone know?
