Welcome to our weekly Hockey Tweets of the Week feature on Puck Drunk Love. We will aim to give you the most entertaining tweets each week from hockey players, writers and fans.
Week four starts … and ends … in Montreal. Fitting, because the hockey world sometimes revolves around the city of Montreal as they have the most storied hockey franchise on the planet. (Sorry, Avangard Omsk fans.) At the beginning of the week, they demolished the Buffalo Sabres 7-2. Buffalo fans were livid.
@justjohnnye Chad Johnson couldn't stop a blind one legged drunk circus monkey from scoring.

Surely they meant the former Bengals receiver, right?
I rather have @ochocinco in net! Let's Go Buffalo! #Sabres

I guess not.
Carey Price is so good, he made a clone of himself to play the #Sabres tonight

The picture/gif game was strong on twitter this week. Consider:

That Torts didn’t smash the phone is a victory. Maybe he really has changed.

The Roberto Luongo Tweet Of The Week
Our friend Strombone1 is betraying us. How are we supposed to have a Roberto Luongo tweet of the week when he doesn’t tweet for two weeks? Go back to July?
Well yes, we’re going to go back to July. Because this tweet asking for a birthday wish from the world’s greatest goalie was responded to in the most perfect way possible:
It sure would be nice to get a Happy Birthday from the world's greatest goalie! @strombone1
— Njerí Sims (@NJ_Artist14) July 7, 2015
Hey @CP0031 do you mind wishing Njeri a happy birthday? Thanks! https://t.co/J1GxS6OfOo

Good one, Strombone.
And it’s the perfect segue back to Montreal, as Carey Price was certainly not the world’s greatest goalie over his last two games, giving up 5 to Vancouver which forced the first Habs loss of the season after starting 9-0. And then, inexplicably, blowing a 3-0 to Edmonton on Thursday … Edmonton!!! … to lose their second in a row 4-3. Maybe Price has been overusing that clone.
#Habs lose in regulation after holding a 3-goal lead for the first time since Feb. 3,2008

Luckily for Price, he escaped the wrath of #HabsTwitter. Not everyone was so fortunate:

Canadiens fans do know their hockey.

It was a done deal. Great 1st period start…Nobody knows how to blow a 3 goal lead like the #Canadiens. #nohabsno

Angry. Nine and two. Deep breaths.

At least they didn’t look like the Anaheim Ducks …
Not even close.
Canadiens fans have bigger meltdowns than Arsenal fans

That can’t be true …
Habs are 9-2 trade price trade subban fire everyone

I stand corrected.
Well, that’s it for this week. Halloween is on Saturday, so remember to keep your children safe. And here’s a costume tip:
Want to go out as Connor McDavid this Halloween? It's easy. Here's how:
1. Go to a party where everyone is much older.
2. Dominate it.
