I often hear people go on about the utility of something like Twitter and I can’t say that I completely disagree. It allows you to hook large amounts of people up with information in a quick concise manner, and in the same manner receive it. For me though. Twitter is more about the entertainment! Let’s be honest. With only 140 characters at your disposal you’ve got to get to the point pretty quick and this oftentimes leads to some funny, harsh and/or witty comments on the event of the day.
Of course the event of last evening was the Kovalchuk trade and it set Twitter rocking! That being the case there were plenty of off the beaten path comments being made by media, fans of the teams involved in the trade, fans of the other 28 teams that grabbed my attention for one reason or the other. Most because they were funny, some because of the bluntness, some because of the desperation! Here now are some of those tweets that kept me entertained through the evening. User names are included if you’d like to follow any of these folks!
BanginPanger Ok spurned fans of 29 other teams; lets all prepare to point and laugh at what NJD had to have given up for a guy who doesn't fit their team
ngreenberg: Is Snookie part of the Kovalchuk trade with NJ. Asking for a friend.
Cathie_AK27: Kovalchuk to the Devils? So instead of playing in front of 12 fans, he'llplay in front of 30? Interesting.
simmonssteve: Kovalchuk and the neutral zone trap - what an odd combination
Sean_Leahy: Thrashers fans must be sick & tired of helping other NHL teams win "now"
rnstrong: Ray Shero uses Don Waddell's tie as toilet paper
jsaquella: Did Lou give Waddell a reach around, or just leave the money on the dresser?
wyshynski: Operator just came on conf. call, said Waddell is still wiping Lou's Kool-Aid from his mouth, will be a few moments.
tsnjamesduthie: NJDevils: such a great franchise, but so un...sexy. Everyone's pumped, "Where's Kovalchuk going!?" Then it's Jersey, and we all go: "Oh."
HockeysFuture: Patrice Cormier will make Thrasher fans forget all about Kovalchuk. He'll make them forget by elbowing them in the head.
7thWoman Brian Burke on the timing of the Devils Kovi deal: "I gotta tell ya, I find it really annoying." LOL
beatonna: In Canada what is trending is "Tim Hortons" "Nutella" "Canadians" "Kovalchuk" you bunch of hockey loving cheap coffee drinkers
OhCanadiens: #Kovalchuk hurts ACL opening fridge door getting milk for cereal. Will miss #Devils game tonight.
cribbster: Thanks a pantload, Kovalchuk. The remaining Thrashers games I attend are probably going to somewhat abysmal to watch.
ThatKevinSmith SATAN: I went down to Georgia and we got lucky. Kovalchuk is crap at the fiddle. Long live Jersey.
FakeNHLNews: Maple Leafs reportedly offered Kessel, Komisarek, Kaberle and Ron Wilson for Kovalchuk, but Atlanta was hoping to win some games this year
jayaceticket: Ilya Kovalchuk = Adrian Gonzalez #playerseveryonejustassumedweregoingtoendupinboston
davecunning: Upon learning of his trade, Ilya Kovalchuk reportedly remarked, "If Dion Phaneuf can be traded, anyone can be traded." Report unverified.
dsarch: Woke up with morning wood thanks to#NJDevils and Kovalchuk
Couldn’t put it better myself dsarch. Couldn’t put it better myself…
