Tampa Bay Lightning First Tweets

New Lightning 3rd Logo?

The Lightning this past year have had a few players join the world of Twitter.  Most notably Nate Thompson, Steven Stamkos, and Vinny Lecavalier.  Which, speaking of, Vinny, you’re not following me yet, and I think we can all agree that that’s just not acceptable.  Not to mention, you haven’t tweeted anything since like May. 

Oh, right, this post.  

Anyway, it was brought to my attention that Victor Hedman (or at least someone claiming to be him) has become the most recent Bolt to hop on Twitter.  Now, if you’re a regular DTV-er, then you, like me, were probably thinking “A guy that turns the puck over that much has time for Twitter? Shouldn’t he be working on his puckhandling?”  But, it did get me thinking, if all the Lightning players had Twitter accounts, what would their first tweets be?  I got together with my DTV Investigation Team, and put together a list for you guys.

@Bugsy: I think I’m going to get the #FailWhale tattooed on my ankle.  What do you guys think?

@SteveF-ingDownie:  I tried Twitter a few years ago, and everyone blocked me.  Maybe they’ve gotten over by now.  #dontcountonit

@pranger:   

@Roli35: Damn kids playing in my lawn making a bunch of noise.  Can’t hear the TV.  When the hell is Matlock on, anyway?

@BergenHulk: $$$$$$$$

@EBrew2: Well, now that I fooled em into to resigning me, back to mediocrity! #TakinHerEasy 

@GuyBouch:  Got a Twitter so that I can finally tell everyone about the scar. (12:34:13PM)

@GuyBouch:   Hahaha, just kidding! (12:34:18PM)

@DOHLUND:  Actually hasn’t tweeted anything yet, but it ‘s weird, his only follower is Victor Hedman, but he’s following every player in the NHL, except for his teammates.

@StevieYzerman:  Just signed up for Twitter so I could tell everyone to CALM THE FUCK DOWN ABOUT STEVEN STAMKOS.  

@MightyMouse26:  Ya know, jumping from letter to letter to type these tweets is actually a pretty good workout.




Big goalie headbutt to loyal DTV-er @AbbySmink for a lot of the ideas for this.  Give her a follow.
