Here's a unique experience for anyone attending the Flyers game tonight (December 17th) against the Caps: The 2013 Players Favorite Things Basket Auction. The baskets were designed by the individual player - with items related to their specific tastes. Also available are baskets for the coaches, Ed Snider and Paul Holmgren. There are some pretty cool options available - though, opening bid amounts may be enough to keep the casual collector away. Here are a few that caught my eye:

Craig Berube

Highlights:

Signed "Get Lost" Welcome Mat
His favorite books: "Ultimate Bar Book" and "Healthy Garden Book" (odd pairing, don't you think?)
Favorite condiments: Lakeshore Guinness Mustard, Honey-Beer Dipping Mustard

Opening Bid: $250

Comments: What I take from this is that Chief has a great sense of humor, and would be awesome to hang out with. Anyone who lists dipping mustards among their favorite things is alright in my book!

Kimmo Timonen

Highlights:

Autographed practice helmet
Game-used gloves used in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics

Opening Bid: $250

Comments: Kimmo's one of my favorite current players - 'nuf said...

Luke and Brayden Schenn

Highlights:

Game stick from and autographed by each
Game worn gloves autographed by both
Breaking Bad Season 1 DVD, Pringles, and NHL 14 (wait, this is MY list of favorite things)

Opening Bid: $250

Comments: Cool items - but, geez... I feel for these guys always being a "pair". It would definitely give me a complex...
