When NHL Twitter Accounts Go Wild

In a recent and fascinating phenomenon, the NHL has seen many teams adopting more relatable “personalities” when interacting with fans on Twitter. It’s almost as if someone’s dosed them with sodium pentathol (that’s truth serum, for those of you who never watched “24”). It’s only natural that you would all wonder what it would be like if your favorite team’s Twitter account was hit with it (or they tweeted something that was supposed to be a DM).

As always, please add your own in the comments section, you probably know your team better than I do. And with that… Here. We. GO.

Anaheim Ducks:

• How the hell are we* DOING this?! (*Teemu)

Atlanta Thrashers (because we’re all about being retro):

Boston Bruins:

• The envelope must be sealed and addressed to “Shmendan Branahan” before it’s left at the designated newsstand.

Edmonton Oilers:

• Player poll said we’ve got the best ice again, cuz it’s like the warmest goddamn thing around here in the winter.

Florida Panthers:

• OTL’s #FTW!! LOL! OMG!

Los Angeles Kings:

• Swapping for a Carter near the trade deadline? Jesus, Hollywood really is out of new ideas.

Minnesota Wild:

• They said we’d come back to the pack, they just didn’t say the pack would devour us like my fat older brother on my Halloween candy.
