The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.9

Hey guys.

Mike Modano has a Twitter and stuff. Halloween's right around the corner.

Straight up gross. Nobody wants to see Modano's wrinkly old balls.

Kaberle Signs in Carolina; Bruins Bring in Corvo

Today has been an uncharacteristically busy day for free agency. I know this because I've been working the Ducks2Nucks twitter today, and it is blowing up with signings rumors and trades. Two of the most impacting transactions of the day have been Tomas Kaberle's new contract in Carolina, and Joe Corvo being moved by the Hurricanes to Boston in exchange for a 4th round draft pick.


It's no secret that Kaberle didn't work out the way fans wanted him to in Boston, and we knew he wasn't resigning there, so maybe playing in Carolina will click better for him and show an upgrade in stats. As far as Joe Corvo and the Bruins go, Boston was just looking for an avid replacement for Kaberle on the blueline, and Corvo could very well be that replacement.

Corvo hasn't ever put up as many assists as Kaberle, and usually doesn't match his point totals, but as of late he's stepped up as a veteran defensive leader who can put the puck in the net.

The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.8

Nashville Predators forward Jordin Tootoo tweeted a couple weeks ago apparently after a successful hunt...


Beautiful. Nutritious. God help us all.

The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.7

Today I'll show you a couple of tweets from the infamous Phoenix Coyotes fourth liner Paul "Biznasty" Bissonette, who is clearly enjoying his summer break.

 

Clearly Biznasty is doing well with his summer endeavors.  Ducks2Nucks supports him and his extracurricular activities.

The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.6

Today's featured tweet comes in honor of Cinco de Mayo from Toronto winger Joffery Lupul.

Throwing cultural sensitivities to the wind, Lupul tweeted this celebration of paper mache and crude humor, and for that I thank him.

The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.5

Today's tweet is actually a classic that I had to look back for. All the way back from August 21st, Ducks forward Bobby Ryan tweeted this priceless quote.


Borderline animal abuse. Hilarious.

The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.4

Heading into the playoffs, the official account of the Blackhawks gives us this.

In light of his inability to grow a proper playoff beard, Patrick Kane offers us the playoff mullet. Classy as always.

The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.3

Tonight's literary gem comes to us from Penguins power forward Eric Tangradi, who is dealing with some tough decisions apparently...

Is there any greater sign that times are changing?

The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.2 [UPDATE]

Today's Twitter gem comes to us from Edmonton Oilers rookie star Taylor Hall. Hall is out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury, which gives him a lot of time to tweet...

This year it's an ankle injury, but next year? Carpal Tunnel.

UPDATE:

Coyotes forward, and noted Twitter superstar, Paul Bissonnette, responded to Hall.


Wonderful stuff.

The Beauty of Twitter in the NHL, Pt.1

In my recent studies of the popular social media site Twitter, I've noticed several NHL players are starting to hop on and express their feelings, often in comical ways.

Today's tweet comes from Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk, in reference to his teammate Jody Shelly joining twitter.
Classic literature. Classic photography.
