Welcome to Puck Drunk Love’s “Tweets Of The Week” for Week 5. This is the segment where we bring you the best tweets from the hockey world each week. This week, Twitter was on fire from the jump as the NHL celebrated:
Halloween
1-0 @DallasStars vs the Sharks, and someone isn't happy. He wants more! #Nails BestIHaveSeenHim pic.twitter.com/bxE30Kp0VK

Scary.

The fake hair and beard might actually be conservative compared to Burnsie.

How many nuns did he scare with this one?
Brett Hull as…? pic.twitter.com/yKjG16OZlS

I loved it when I thought it was Jesse The Body Ventura. But then I found out he was actually going for Kid Rock. It was like when Ralph Kramden’s Man from Space costume was interpreted as everything but.

Now there’s a costume that stretches the imagination.
And the scariest costume of all …

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Cam Talbot
Talbot was no treat as he dropped a 5-4 decision to the Flames on the strength (?) of two horrifying goals. Oilers Province (which is like Oilers Nation but Canadian), provided the treats …

I guess Cam Talbot decided to be a sieve for Halloween #HockeyHalloween

Talbot decided to be Scrivens for Halloween. #Oilers
— Dan the Man (@danschyk) November 1, 2015
Way to go Scrivens! Oh… Talbot. #canweevergetsomegoaltending?

@OilersNow Cam Talbot went as Ben Scrivens for Halloween

Can we pick on somebody else other than Ben Scrivens? Poor guy.

@HayesTSN Cam "Bernier" Talbot
— Stevee Stammer (@Has91SignedYet) November 1, 2015
So does Jonathan Bernier’s ringing ears count as an “upper body injury”?
Twitter Gets Mocked
This week, Twitter was the story as they changed their “Favorite Stars” to Hearts for likes. The Carolina Hurricanes decided to have some fun with this:
The #Canes next home game is Friday against the Dallas #Hearts! Tickets: https://t.co/CrzgQ6yYcR pic.twitter.com/fZL7PBGrke
— Carolina Hurricanes (@Canes) November 3, 2015
Well played, Carolina. (A phrase they probably haven’t heard in a few years.)
The Islanders debut their Brooklyn Sweaters
The New York Islanders won only some hearts with their new look Barclay’s Center Specials which debuted this past week:
Excuse me @NYIslanders – why do your helmets say Bklyn when you're the NEW YORK ISLANDERS. STOP CHANGING EVERYTHING.
— Carolyn Nachman (@carolynachman) November 4, 2015
Change is scary, I agree.
They gave out an Islanders 3rd jersey t-shirt tonight. I guess I have my latest floor polishing rag. #fb

Wait, which monstrosity … the sweaters or Matt Moulson’s mustache?
Not a fan of the Islanders Alternate jerseys. I'd rather see the infamous "Fish sticks" unis again #NYIvsNJD
— Mike Warren (@SportMikeWarren) November 4, 2015
Now that wasn’t called for.
wow.. those islanders jerseys are jiggy
— Matthew (@CassityMatthew) November 4, 2015
I can’t tell if that’s good or not.
And here’s a combined Barclay’s Center/Third Jersey slam:
Forgive my ignorance, but why the hell do these need to be there? pic.twitter.com/JiGd9zxUg6

Wait for it …

Boom.
Connor McDavid’s Injury
Poor Oilers fans. They start the week with bad goaltending, and they end the week with horrible luck as super rookie Connor McDavid went down with a broken clavicle and will be out for months.
https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/661754452009857024
https://twitter.com/TheLukeSheedy/status/661756637925871616
Though Twitter had hope:

https://twitter.com/Koldonkey/status/661756955841597440
Well he probably has the “three” right.
If it wasn't for my 2 beautiful kids I'd be etching my name in the side of a bullet right now. #McDavid
— x-Bumblebee tuna (@sstrumy) November 4, 2015
Take it easy …
Way to go NHL, you had Connor McDavid for a month and you already broke him.
— Guy Spurrier (@grspur) November 4, 2015
I guess Mcdavid can go "see this" now #Rogers #MessierMeetsMcdavid
— Kevin From Dapp (@K_Dapp19) November 4, 2015
https://twitter.com/_mcintyrepat_/status/661756693353783296
Dave Semenko and Dave Schultz walk into a bar …
well clearly the oilers are gonna rally around mcdavid and win the stanley cup now
— 🅿️ – dan rangers numbers (@Danno2430) November 4, 2015
I’ll wear Brett Hull’s Kid Rock costume if that happens.
The Roberto Luongo Tweet Of The Week
Well, it’s more “Roberto Luongo Related” …
#JagrsMullet UPDATE: Here is your weekly check in on the @68Jagr mullet! pic.twitter.com/1uhVF37zGN
— Florida Panthers (@FlaPanthers) November 2, 2015
Well there’s your proof … Jagr is really growing that thing back. The 90’s are hip and happenin’ again. And we have Roberto Luongo to thank.
And finally, the tweet that won my heart. Lindy Ruff used a coach’s challenge and got a Maple Leafs goal wiped off the board because of an offsides:
https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/661349795584307200
The response is delicious:
Lindy finally wins the important #NoGoal call 16 years later.
— Audrey #BLM @lifeasaweiler@mastodon.world (@lifeasaweiler) November 3, 2015
Sorry, Buffalo.
