This guy needs more followers. His ratio is astounding considering Dreger and McKenzie are among his followers.
He's really good. I find myself retweeting most of his Euro tweets on my own twitter account. I highly recommend him, and I really need to thank him for all his work.

what is his twitter page?
I google'd but came up with two other Neil Little twitter accounts.
I saw Jacob De Serres play in two games this week. The Swift Current/Brandon series had games 3 and 4 here in Regina because of Swifty's rink being used.
De Serres was really solid in game 3. 2 goals allowed on 37 or 38 shots and game 4 he wasn't very tested, but made the saves when he needed to. The game went to OT and something I noticed was that he was very calm and cool, playing the puck well and such. Although maybe he was pretty calm because of his team being up 3-0 in the series.
Brandon won and swept 'em. Just thought I'd toss in some comments on De Serres.

Oliver Lauridsen just took a dumb and unnecessary roughing penalty for St. Cloud to give the Sioux a 5 on 3. He decked a Sioux skating by the net after the St. Cloud goalie covered the puck.
They just scored on the 5 on 3 and the ensuing 5 on 4.

Oliver Lauridsen, D — St. Cloud State
6’6, 220 pounds
Acquired: 7th round, 196th overall, 2009
The 20-year-old Danish-born Lauridsen was selected by the Flyers at the very end of the 2009 draft, mainly for his size. He does possess the talent to turn his size into a distinct advantage that would be useful at the NHL level, but his overall game needs quite a bit of work. He is still very raw now in his sophomore year now at St. Cloud State.
The hope is that eventually Lauridsen will learn to not only use his frame as an advantage but will also work on his positioning. His skating could use some work, but the biggest problem right now could be his decision-making. A full four years of college hockey before turning professional would be the best thing for the gigantic blueliner so that he can get used to not only the North American game but also get accustomed to the mechanics of shut-down hockey.
In 28 games during his rookie season, Lauridsen notched only one assist. So far, through 26 games this year, he has tallied a goal and four assists. There is certainly a little improvement to Lauridsen's game, but he has time to progress into the immovable force on the blueline that the Flyers think he has a chance to become.
He's the mold of a huge shutdown defenseman without the hockey IQ. The organization is hoping he picks it up through 4 years of college.

Yeah. I'm starting to hear a lot about Bobrovsky from other sources. Seems like the organization might have focused on him over Rynnas. Certainly wouldn't hurt to add both, and let them duke it out.

That's quite fine as well. If you take a look at their body of work, Bobrovsky has the better stats career wise. I know it might not mean much, but he's been consistent over his career. Rynnas on the other hand has had one good season throughout his career.
If we get Bobrovsky the I'm very happy with our goalie prospects. Backlund, Bobrovsky, Riopel, and Eriksson are all pretty good I think. I doubt Hutton ever ends up as anything, but he's looked good so far. I liked Morrison when we drafted him, but he hasn't impressed since.
