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
