Twitter Time #14 | Sidney's Return

Ha, I noticed NHL was blogging some players' tweets too the day Crosby's return was announced ... #copycats ... although that would imply they'd come across my puny blog. I doubt it! :D

Anyways, I creeped all the NHL and AHL players I follow on Twitter ... SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO! It was a boring task. Here the tweets I came across ... the prize for funniest tweet goes to Colby Armstrong.

Enjoy! Or not ... ;)

Ryan Whitney
"yup, this leagues still a joke for me." -Sidney Crosby 4 minutes into first game back 

Tyler Bozak 

Wow Sidney Crosby. What a player. It was great for the game of hockey to have him back on the ice putting on a show again 

Colby Armstrong 

Great to have Sid back and healthy. Hes been out a long time but it's exciting for the NHL and our fans to have a player like him back #NHL 

Colby Armstrong 

After this Crosby return stuff all media will turn to trying to find out the return of me....right?? It's gonna be crazy. #mediacircus 

Matt Lashoff 

Wasn't expecting any less from 87. So fun to watch. 

Logan Couture 

Saying #87 makes it look easy is an understatement. 

Jordan Eberle 

Hordichuk told me today CBC was supposed to cover his return tonight but then Crosby stole his thunder 

Paul Bissonnette 

Had to drop myself in fantasy hockey today. Welcome back Sidney Crosby. 

Nathan Thompson

What a night for hockey getting the best player in the world back on the ice. #sidthekid 

Luca Caputi 

Is anyone not watching this game? #sidthekid back in action!   

Luca Caputi
Wow! #sidthekid Sickkk 

Scottie Upshall
Great day for NHL today w/ Sid comin back. Here's him and my bro @brento_ at our last game. Sick stache! #movember pic.twitter.com/Y6957J8T 

Luke Adam
This crosby guy is pretty good i guess, its not even really fair is it? #87isback @NHL 

Mark Dekanich
Any guesses on how much money Crosby put on the board last night? #10grand 

Thomas Kiriakou
Hide yo kids. Hide yo wives...Sid's back!! #GetExcited

Sidney Crosby | He's Back

 Ladies and Gentlemen.

It has finally been announced.
Sidney Crosby is back.

Courtesy of NHL.com

Set to play on Monday 21st, 2011.
Isles @ Pens.

Pens, the Bruins have properly disarmed the Isles last night.
All you have to do is just gently skate across the ice and take shots on goal.

Sidney, I hope you play well and feel well. And that this time no crazy antics take place. Remember that 1 million penalty minutes game last year? Not that kind of shit. You need an easy game to get back on track.

The best of luck in any case!

Twitter Time #13 | Richie Luvs Carcillo | August 9th, 2011

Ha, just the one tweet this time. Didn't actually realise Richie was tight enough with CarBomb to warrant a tweet about him, but here it is:

Mike Richards

http://t.co/nkM8rGm What a Beauty, going to miss playing with Carcillo. Hilarious Press Conference #NHL #Blackhawks #Canucks 

That press conference really was quite amusing too. And it's not often you see Dan this cleaned up and with this many teeth either ... so go have a look lol

Twitter Time #12 | A Bit Of Everything | July 27th, 2011

So I had a browse through my Twitter timeline to see what the (mostly) NHL players I follow were up to and there was a bit of everything. Some of it funny, some of it just telling us what folks have been up to. Here an overview, nicely sorted by type of tweet for your perusal ;)

Eric Tangradi
Time to really focus on trying to make a hockey team . I'm taking a year away from twitter. Thanks for all your support everyone!

Although I like Tangradi's spirit, I do not see how sending an occasional tweet will keep you from winning.


OK, I hope you made it this far, because this is my fave tweet this month:

Joffrey Lupul

Fed ex guy got me w/ this one... He's lucky it didn't say go Habs or it would be go time. http://t.co/1vb0901

Richie's Move | It Still Hurts!! | July 22nd, 2011

Just came across this headline in my FB news:

Live Interview with Mike Richards of the Los Angeles Kings

And no, I am not ready for this. It still hurts. Actually, the pain has grown since July 1st. Maybe I was just shellshocked at the time and the enormity of the news had not hit me in full force yet ...

Sorry for the lack of real news, just wanted to share the pain a bit ;)

*sulking in a corner*

 

 

[edit July 26th] And I am glad he did not give in to the whole Dry Island fiasco ;)

Free Agency Day | Aftermath Update | July 5th, 2011

 Just a quick update, because I am so happy ...

♦ Yeah, finally Leafs news, and good news too! Clark MacArthur signed for two years at $ 6.5m ... awesome news. Thank you Burke! Would be weird to see Kuli and Grabo without their bud right?
♦ And Bozie got resigned too! Yeah! A two-year deal at $ 1.95m ... bit of a steal maybe, but the guy does still have to prove his worth. Not quite ready for first-lining and all, but so much potential and with a bit of the pressure off, perhaps he can start developing his skills and prove he can be eventually. Also, a great fit with the team! Next signing ... Schenner?
♦ Not really Leafs news anymore, but hell, still love the man: Kabby has been signed by the Canes and I think this is a great deal for him; three years at $ 12.75m - and he gets to play with Brent

Brent was definitely happy:

Tim Brent

WOW! just found out i'll be playing with my boy Thomas Kaberle 'kaba' for the next 2 years! #beauty #hellofaplayer #loveit

Tim Brent

Tomas not "Thomas" typoe- MY BAD!

Tim Brent

Okay even I know its funny when you make a typo writing "typoe" haha 2 excited about Kaba I guess!

Man, already missing Brent. Guess I will be keeping a close eye on the Canes as well this year.

And Bozie, as always, tweeted a bit as well:

Tyler Bozak

Thanks for the congrats everyone! Glad to be back with the leafs to play in front of the best fans in the world!

OK, if you are interested in my first post about Free Agency Day ... CLICK RIGHT HERE :)

Twitter Time #11 | Priorities | July 2nd, 2011

In the midst of all the trading, count on our Tweetionista BizNasty to lighten up the mood a bit. Thanks Biz! Had me chuckling first, then all out laughing.

Paul Bissonnette

After New York State Taxes, Brad Richards could buy every song on iTunes 5 times. Oh and 1.5 million Dances of the Lap.

Paul Bissonnette

To clarify my last tweet. Its one or the other. Not both. Decisions decisions.

Paul Bissonnette

On a serious note, I'm heading to Lake Placid for a week. How's the talent? What's the age bracket im dealing with? #ScoutingReport?

Watch out Lake Placid!

Free Agency Day !!!! | July 1st, 2011

FREE AGENCY DAY!

wh00000000000000000000000

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

See that? It is exciting and excruciating at the same time.

By the way, apologies if I lured you here and made you think you would read some amazing insights. Because you are not going to. But if you arrived here for that purpose, let me forward you to these places, it is where I go to check up on stuff:

http://www.thefourthperiod.com/freeagents/top30.html
http://www.mynhltraderumors.com/2010/06/01/2011-unrestricted-nhl-free-agents/
http://www.capgeek.com/free_agents.php

There, what I want is to just vent. Here my few wishes, based entirely on emotional motives:
- Leino *must* be resigned by the Flyers
- Meszaros too, what the hell. Last night I came across a rumour that he is on the move. I honest to god hope that is a joke. We need our Mesz at the Flyers!
- Tim Brent, went UFA, come on Brian Burke, you have to keep this guy at the Leafs
- Max Talbot, up until now my somewhat sleazy - and mostly secret - hockey crush, might possibly move to the Leafs, which would finally enable me to cheer for him legitimately lol

Oh, and one thing I do not want to see happen: Stamkos to Flyers. Up until the last few days I appreciated Stamkos for his talent, but that is it. Not a fan. Nor a hater. Then the rumours of a possible trade started and I developed a very irrational hate for the poor guy. I am sorry, I just cannot picture him in Orange & Black. The idea makes me positively hateful. Now Holmgren yesterday confirmed that they would not be putting in a offer for him, and I want to believe it so badly. But they have been lying to us a lot this year, so who knows what Holmgren has up his sleeve. I know I will feel better and go to a normal state of mind about Stamkos once the trade is definitely definitely definitely out of the picture.

So, what do you want to see happen? And no, not in answer to my own little wish list, am interested in what other folks are hoping for regardless of team and/or player preferences! I will even allow comments about the Habs, because it is also Canada Day - Happy Canada Day all you Canadian hockey fans!

Anyways, share your wishlist in the comments (you probably will not) or join me on Twitter ... @violet_nl ... I will be lurking in there all day long, waiting for stuff to happen. Sorry boss! ;)

Flyers Store | Come Get Our Guys Cheap! | June 27th, 2011

Holmgren must have developed some sort of Evil Master Plan that will have us forgive him his rather erratic trading behaviour.

Look what just happened! He just traded Darroll Powe to the Wild (poor guy!) for a 2013 third round pick. Surely Powe is worth more than that? Hell, I am sure folks can come up with several reasons why he should have been traded in the first place, but I always found him a good, hard worker. The type any team should be happy to have in their line up.

Holgmren did sign Nodl and Sestito. Not entirely sure about Sestito, but Nodl is a keeper in my book. Next up I would really want to see Leino signed. Apparently he has been asking a bit too much, but surely Holmgren will not let our guy be picked up by some other team?!

[edit June 27th] The organisation has extended Qualifying Offers to Kalinski, Simmonds and Voracek. Oh my, bad times on the horizon for Carcillo? And as I was taking in the roster, I suddenly had to smile at Zherdev still being in the line-up.

[edit June 28th] Next development was Carcillo not receiving a Qualifying Offer, which turns him into an UFA ... guess the earlier edit about bad times ahead for Carcillo are in fact looming ...

So back to the opening sentence ... Holmgren must be plotting something interesting right? Divesting a top notch team like ours ... he better be.

Twitter Time #10 | Flyers Fallout | June 25th, 2011

What a night Thursday night was. Still reeling from all the moves executed by Holmgren. Twitter was alight. Here an overview of what some of the players had to say about it all. Starting with a tweet by Richie himself:

Mike Richards
Thanks to everyone in Philly for a great 6 yrs. What a great city and an awesome place to play. #NHL #flyers

Bryzgalov
Proud to be a Philadelphia Flyer)))

Matt Carle
Speechless like everyone else about what happened today, but sometimes that's the nature of the beast...best of luck to both of those guys

James van Riemsdyk
Best of luck to carts and richie. Were great teammates on and off the ice and helped me a ton making the jump into the nhl

Joffrey Lupul
I am scratching my head w/ the rest of you guys... I guess anyones tradable. Good luck to 2 great guys!

RJ Umberger

Lost great teammate in Voracek, But excited to be teammates w/ my 1st ever NHL center #Jeff Carter #CBJ Fans be excited. #Crazy

RJ Umberger
Mike Richards traded also? Say What??? #WhatsIntheWaterInPhilly #Crazy

Matt Lashoff
Lot of action going on today! Did Philly just trade those two guys? #shocked

Bobby Ryan
Paul Holmgren must have woke up and just said let's giver hell today. Some big time trades. Western conference just got two great players

Derick Brassard
Lost a great friend/ teammates in voracek!! Philly fans should be excited !! Great future ahead of him

Derick Brassard
Wow Really excited about Carter!! #cbj fan I hope u guys are excited

Ryan Jones
I am curious to see what the next 48 hrs holds after the bombs Philly just dropped. Should be interesting.

Eric Tangradi
Wow Philly Wow

Flyers Flying Around | Trading Craziness | June 23rd, 2011

After a busy time writing articles during the Playoffs I thought I would give myself a bit of time off and write a new post or two next week. Was still considering the topics. Basically the idea was to have a quiet hockey week. Then I logged on to Twitter an hour or two ago and got engulfed in a maelstrom of Flyers trading tweets! A bit like an 'all hell broke loose' Twitter evening.


First point of discussion: Carter. He got traded to Columbus. Now some of you may know one of my faves is ♥ Rick Nash ♥ ... but I always envisioned him coming to the Flyers ;) ... I definitely did not think any of our guys would be traded to his team. I am fine with the trade. Never was a fan of Carts and just did not get him at all. Sure, there are the points, but something about his on ice and off ice persona did not sit well with me. Here the official Flyers tweet confirming the deal:

NHLFlyers Philadelphia Flyers
#Flyers acquire from CBJ Jakub Voracek, a 2011 1st Round pick (8th overall) & 2011 3rd Round pick (68th overall) in exchange for Jeff Carter

Second point of discussion: Richards. A few minutes after the Carter rumours, folks in the know started tweeting about a possible trade involving Richie. Now I was mad at him at times, but I never lost faith in him as our Captain. Just wanted him involved just a bit more, but when all was said and done I always saw him as a great Flyer. And now he is headed for L.A.? I am not liking this at all. In fact I feel a bit sick about the whole trade. But apparently Richie is happy. Here the official Flyers tweet:

@NHLFlyers Philadelphia Flyers

#Flyers have acquired from LA C Brayden Schenn, RW Wayne Simmonds and the Kings 2012 2nd Round Draft choice in exchange for Mike Richards.

I was hoping the locker room issues folks discussed were in fact not true. But that something was not quite the same shortly after the ASG was quite clear. I was forever coming up with reasons to explain the slow but sure disintegration of our great team, but sometimes things just cannot be salvaged. Carts & Richie moved out shortly one after another? There has got to be more to that than making cap room for ...........

Third point of discussion: Bryzgalov. Signed for a nine-year deal worth $51m. Good goalie obviously, with sometimes debatable work ethic. Let me use a cliché: Time Will Tell. After the other two trades, this one was confirmed as well by the Flyers organisation:  

NHLFlyers Philadelphia Flyers
#Flyers have agreed to terms with goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov on a multi-year contract.

If we do not get a few experienced players back, we might as well start considering our team as one that is in build-up phase. In which case I wonder why we need Bryzgy at all. Might as well keep going with Sergei, right? I hope Holmgren has something up his sleeve. Well, something that does not include giving up our other prized possessions. And now I am going to cry over the sudden disappearance of our Captain. Really? L.A.? *sighs*

And just as I am about to post this article, this pops up on Twitter:

Pat Gallen
A source close to @973ESPN saying Flyers discussing a deal for Lightning star Steven Stamkos. Hockey world could explode.

That one I am going to chalk down to idiocy, but shit, after a night like this, I am sort of not going to be surprised by anything lol. What I need is a good night's sleep and perhaps I will see things differently tomorrow. Perhaps I will be less shocked and I might see possibilities the new additions bring us ... *ponders*

PS Who is next? Versteeg? I hope so.

Twitter Time #8 | NHL Tweeters On Nucks Win | May 25th, 2011

So what did some of our favourite NHL Tweeters have to say about the Nucks win?

Michael Grabner
Saw highlights from yesterday...another crazy game with weird bounces...congrats to the Canucks for making it to the finals...workout time!!

Mike Commodore
ahhh, the puck went off the glass, bounced backwards to Bieska and no one but him had a clue where it was. hahaha, wow. that was weird.

Mike Commodore
I just watched Bieska goal on nhl.com 5 times and I can't figure out how in the hell it went in!! Bad camera angle maybe?

Darryl Boyce
glenn healy rips everyone..ripped nearly everyone on the ice, now he has taken it to the person who did the confetti in van-city

Bobby Ryan
Bizarre. And a tough way to lose out. But that was a great hockey game. Congrats to Vancouver. #roxy? #itsonice

Cabbie Richards
Congratulations to Kevin Bieksa for his series ending goal. Vancouver Canucks advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. First time since 1994. #NHL

Jeremy Roenick
What a great hockey game this is!! One of the best iv ever seen! Wow. I don't care who u want to win! Everyone is flying

Paul Bissonnette
How hungover is Vancouver today? The productivity level in that city must be a joke right now.

Twitter Time #7 | NHL Twitter Chirps | May 22nd, 2011

A few twitter chirps that went back and forth between some of our fave NHL Tweeters. Nothing much, just to tide us over to tonights game!

[Ryan Whitney - Paul Bissonnette]
And you definitely must check out the link, that is an epic BizNasty pic ... not sure if I should be in awe, overly impressed or maybe disgusted xD

Ryan Whitney
@BizNasty noo...please tell me this is photoshopped. http://t.co/Sf2uXSw

Paul Bissonnette
Ya @RyanWhitney, the nose is a bit. Lol.

[pigeons]

James van Riemsdyk

Can't believe I ran into @ColinWilson walking down the street #pigeon http://yfrog.com/gzkl2zwj  lololol

Hahah, I find this extremely funny. But only because a few days earlier Colby Armstrong got a whole thing pigeon thing going after something a Maple Leafs blogger said on Twitter:

Jeff Veillette

Not to be arrogant @ElizabethLeaf, but I think I'd dangle @armdog pretty easy in a game. #forgetcheddariusemozza

You can find Army's reply to that here, because he deleted it, realising it was a bit overboard. He also apologised to Jeff, but hell, Jeff was totally OK with the whole thing and loved it!

http://bit.ly/iYvZjm

I am expecting plenty of pigeon references for the time to come! 

Twitter Time #6 | Richie's Riot | May 17th, 2011

Mike Richards always has a bit of a strained relationship with reporters by the looks of it. Most of the time he sounds rather grumpy when answering reporters' questions and not just after lost games ;) ... but I get it, not everyone can keep smiling when yet another reporter asks yet another similar/annoying/stupid question!

And now our Richie is on Twitter. I am guessing he will never be the tweetmeister of the NHL, but the few tweets he did drop already produced a few memorable ones. Let me quote:

Michael Richards
One word for Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun.....NERD!!!!!!

Michael Richards
Tim Panaccio thinks I'm moody and withdrawn with him. Maybe because he writes articles that are no where close to being true


BOOM! There you have it guys. Go Richie!!

PS What amused me after the one about Steve Simmons is that he got some support from Leafs fans agreeing with him, although I also recall someone replying 'he should grow a pair'. Twitter is so amusing!

Twitter Time #5 | Flyers Post Playoffs Tweets | May 9th, 2011

 Ha, the Flyers are not the most Tweet-savvy NHL players, but a few have adapted it into their lifestyle. So here the post-sweep Tweets by JVR, Carle and Carcillo.

James van Riemsdyk
tough way to end the year, we all wanted/expected better. #toughpilltoswallow

James van Riemsdyk
btw thanks to all the fans for your support throughout the year, you guys were great! #flyernation

Matt Carle
Was really hoping to wake up this morning in the hotel in Boston have last night just be a bad dream, I can't believe it's over...

Matt Carle
Going to have a sick feeling in the stomach for awhile. Sorry to all our fans, but thanks for your support all season #HowLongUntilOct

Daniel Carcillo

Afternoon ladies and gents...just l'eggoed my eggo but before I shave this beard, all u haters/pigeons can pick the crumbs out of it Q

Daniel Carcillo
Thanks to the Flyers faithful for another great following this year! Best fans in the league by far #flyers #boom love the passion!!

And of course Carcillo would treat us with the most hilarious one ... the crumbs ... lol

Twitter Time #4 | Everyone Hide, CarBomb Arrived! :D | May 6th, 2011

How legit this is, time will tell. But today Paul Bissonnette introduced the latest NHL Tweeter ... Daniel Carcillo!! Hahah, I love this guy. Not just because he is a Flyer - heck a while ago I wrote a little article about him - he is a fun guy. Anyways, this is Twitter Time so lets get to the tweets. Not particularly hilarious, but it shows you the first steps of our little rascal Carcillo in Tweetverse.

Paul Bissonnette
Folks. This may be to much to handle in one week. But got Dan Carcillo aka CarBomb on twitter. Kick the tires, and light the fires

Paul Bissonnette
@CarBomb hasn't put up a picture yet because a pic of his stache is to much data for a blackberry to handle. He must do it on a desktop

Paul Bissonnette
@Cratic aww yes. @CarBomb is a happy person. Always showing off his pearly whites. http://t.co/lGFTJmz

Daniel Carcillo
@PaulBissonnette Bizzzz what...Bizzz who?! Jesus, you've got some pull in this world..come a long way from panty soup at Mayflower the W.B.

And here his very own first tweets:

Daniel Carcillo
@Jaktapparel  one punch KO tees of yours truly...

Daniel Carcillo
@regrock might have to watch my mouth until this year is out...just for the record, I fucking hate ppl that sweep..that includes u brooms

Daniel Carcillo
Walkin' through Boston Common listening to Sam Cooke - A Change Gonna Come ... something better give this evening mehhhh

Daniel Carcillo
Surrounded by the light haired Irish in Boston, an appropriate shout out to Henry William O'Sullivan http://yfrog.com/h3yj7srkj

Daniel Carcillo
Add GodFather to the list of nicknames....Bang Boom

Daniel Carcillo
@DarrenDreger surprised you guys have the wide angle shot in HD to fit @PaulBissonnette nose in there. Expert camera work I assume

Daniel Carcillo
"@RobertLCoates: @CarBomb if you were looking for a twitter picture, this one is pretty good haha http://t.co/pPZZSYC " I like it


That's it! Already a few fun ones. I wonder what this bad boy will come up with in the future!

Playoffs Daily | SF Game 1 | April 30th, 2011

Last night we had Game 1 of the Semi-Finals for the Caps vs Bolts and Preds vs Wings. The good news is I finally caught some live Playoffs action again. The bad news is that I fell asleep during the second period of the Caps game lol.

[Bolts-Caps]  4-2. Bolts lead series 1-0. Well, I managed to watch some of it at least. It was enjoyable enough with two goals by the Caps and one by the Bolts. Only one of the Caps' goals got denied, so into first intermission the score was 1-1. I struggled through intermission and managed to watch a bit of the second period, even saw Eric Fehr score to really make it 2-1. All was good. But when I woke up the table had been turned and the Bolts had won. Good on them, but I really want the Caps to move on. Ovi made me laugh a bit during his post-game interview. He looked a bit down and said: "We didn't play our game. We, I think, played too cute (!!) and we take lots of penalties. And that cost us. Again, you know, it is over and we have to get ready for the next game." Cute!

[Red Wings-Sharks] 1-2. Sharks lead series 1-0. I woke up to see the Wings lead 1-0. Convinced they would win it, I went back to sleeping, but I just found out they lost. Coach Babcock said it all. He thought the Sharks were better and that they skated very well. He then went on to say that he thought the first period would be their worst, but alas, it was not the case. The Sharks dominated, the Wings took way too many penalties and as the coach put it: "You can't be in the penalty box and expect to survive." Very honest analysis, like it. But the way he was talking you would think nothing went right ;) ... it did take the Sharks an OT goal to win! Well hey, the Wings will reclaim their awesomeness in the next game.

And I need to spend some time on the topic of Sidney Crosby. I just came across an article on NHL.com and I was sad to read that he has had a bit of a setback and that it is unclear when he will return. He hopes to be back for the next season. Listen, Sid was for a long time my favourite guy to hate, but eversince he had the concussion and is struggling so hard to get back, I just cannot hate him. I feel sorry for him and I genuinly wish he will return quickly. We can list his annoying traits but in the end he is an amazing hockey player and I want to see him do his thing again. I can go back to hating on him when he gets back :)

For that full article you can visit the NHL page!
