Welcome back, everybody! It’s yet another edition of Hockey Tweets of the Week. Twenty Seven … which means that we’re getting pretty gosh darn close to the playoffs. And teams are getting a little weary after a long season, so they’re looking for a way to blow off some steam before the playoffs. Or in the Devils’ case, the off season.
April Fools

If they had actually worn these, that would have sold the joke hard.
Strange Bedfellows
Is there a scenario where a player would root for a team that traded him because he partied too hard?
Little bit of a weird thing to say but come on Bruins!
— Tyler Seguin (@tseguinofficial) April 2, 2016
Well, I guess so. It’s called playoff seeding.
Brad Marchand, of course, replied.

The Bruins did help out by beating the Blues, which helped Seguin and the Stars. But then they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks. On National TV. And they were down 0-6 before brunch got cold.
Yo, Bruins. Not sure if you got the memo or not, but April fools day was on Friday.

Speaking of April Fool’s Day and the Blackhawks …
There was plenty of reaction to the Duncan Keith vacation suspension earned by trying to chop down Charlie Coyle like he was a cherry tree:
Duncan Keith got off lightly. But gotta make sure the Hawks are ready for the play offs right?
— Walker (@walkerhell) April 2, 2016
@DuncanKeith your hockey stick is not a weapon. Don't know if you were smart enough to know that.
— Morgan (@MorganWild9) April 2, 2016
@DuncanKeith hope your wrist doesn't hurt too much from that slap from the league.
— Corri 🍌's (@corribananas) April 2, 2016
Duncan Keith is suspended 6 games.. Seriously?!
The hearing being on April 1st doesn't mean the suspension needed to be a joke.

I would've suspended Duncan Keith at least 20 games for that assault but 🐸☕️

And Speaking Of Drinking …

@Avalanche Minnesota GAVE you a chance to make the playoffs…And you all blew it…trade anyone u need to..these results are unacceptable.
— J S Wilkins (@jswilko83) April 6, 2016
But don’t worry. Avalanche fans in Denver move seamlessly from one dumpster fire to the next …
The @Rockies are like a tempting ex to jilted @Avalanche fans right now. Looks good to start, but don't be fooled!

Walking Red
Steven Yeun is a huge star on a show called “The Walking Dead”. I think it’s about zombies, I’m not sure. Yeun is also a huge Red Wings fan, and gave them some support ahead of their game against the Flyers on Wednesday.
https://twitter.com/steveyeun/status/717772064652992517
The Flyers had their feelings hurt and struck back against Yeun’s television show character.
@steveyeun Let’s go Lucille
— Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) April 6, 2016
Lucille, as in the baseball bat that killed a major character on the show, which could belong to Yeun. But the Flyers couldn’t kill him off.

We think we could explain the Canadiens’ collapse this season in a short highlight montage from the season:

Yeah, the Habs really missed Carey Price this year, eh?
Yup, that means it’s time to go. Wave goodbye, Erik …
