Winnipeg Hockey Talk’s Favourite Tweets Of The Week #2

WHT’s faves of the week-

These Tweets caught my eye. Some were funny and some were informative and some weren’t even about hockey. Please don’t be upset if I include the odd Tweet of my own.

1. I love all Olympic medals BUT I really dig Gold Medals.

🚨 GOLD MEDAL FOR CANADA 🚨

FWIW … the problem with NMCs is GMs hand them out like halloween candy.

This has been my pet peeve for years. UFAs can choose their destination but NMCs create an unlevel playing field …. what this tells me is that all 32 NHL teams AREN’T really equal partners.

4. Not surprising at all.

A lot of dudes who can’t even touch their toes are suddenly gymnastics experts today.

8. Yes, my wife and I are huge Jays fans and we were just as happy as the players and the fans in those seats.

670 Days since we last saw this in the 6. So great to have the BlueJays back in the True North Strong and Free. #BlueJays #WeAreBlueJays pic.twitter.com/k5aEwfAapQ

9. Absolutely …. everybody was juicing back then but Ben was the one that got caught thanks to shady help from his competitor’s Olympic committees. You know who you are you hypocrites.

10. I’m not a fan of judged sports to start with but judging a twirling ribbon? Really? Not to mention the big rubber ball and the hulla-hoop.
