For sixteen teams, this morning signaled another practice as the “second season” begins. The other fourteen spent the past two days saying goodbye and thank you to their fans for sticking by them. Here’s to remembering the teams that ended their seasons too soon.

What happened to this guy on his birthday last week? (Photo: Sarah Connors/flickr)

I have no idea what happened but this week we’ve had no problem finding awesome player tweets. In fact, we found so many that we couldn’t decide which to use and therefore made the executive decision to use all of them. You’ll understand why soon enough.

When I was growing up, there were two guys who everyone agreed had achieved superstar status in the hockey world. (We didn’t know much back then.) They were the guys with their own books at the Scholastic Book Fairs, slick almost life-size posters you could buy at your local Kmart, and the reason you played with a Koho and not a Titan stick. Ahem. Yeah, you either liked Wayne or you liked Mario. Could you like both? Well, can you be a Bruins and a Habs fan?

Now that the season is in full swing, hockey players don’t have a lot of down time. There’s a lot of practice, travels, and of course the games. So no one can blame them when they veg out and watch TV, although sometimes it isn’t the best TV.

There are a couple of things that make hockey fans happy. For one, we like to watch hockey games. We also like to eat while watching those games. Apparently those things are important to hockey players as well.

My thoughts on the lockout ending? This man said it best. (Photo: Bridget Samuels/flickr)

In looking through tweets from NHL players over the last week, I had a lot of options for this post. From Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle chirping Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to Roberto Luongo, I mean Strombone, being his usual crazy self, there were a lot of tweets to choose from.

And then the NHL lockout ended and the players went nuts tweeting some ridiculous things. Therefore I bring to you, the best player remarks after the lockout was declared over.

With Christmas tomorrow, we figured we would give you some bonus tweets today. It could also be simply because I couldn’t decide which ones to choose out of the hilarious things some of the guys said this past week. And you’ll see by not deciding, I mean I couldn’t decide between numerous tweets from the same people!

So what have the boys been saying this week?

Since we started our weekly visits into the best of the worst hockey cards, one thing became painfully clear. The early 1990s have certainly had the most representation. Maybe it was the residual Aqua-net of the 1980s wearing off, but neon and bike shorts seemed like a good idea.

These cards are mad fly…. NOT!
