Welcome to an all new edition of “Tweets of the Week”, where we hit the double digit week of the season. We aim to bring you the best tweets from around the hockey world. And of course, we start with the talker of the week, Brandon Prust’s attempt at playing a black top favorite: ball hockey!

Oh. That’s what he meant. Awkward.
Of course, twig on berry crime is only acceptable if the berries belong to Brad Marchand.
Dirty spear by Prust but if there's anyone to do it on, Marchand is a fine choice

😂😂😂 I hate #Prust but nothing makes me happier than seeing that rat #Marchand drop https://t.co/dQxePjB4TC

Because it only costs $5,000, I guess.

Ouch.

The only thing in danger of being set on fire was probably Marchand himself.
Zamboni Goalie
The Toronto Marlies were in a bit of a pickle this week as the parent club shuffled around some goalies, but couldn’t get a back up to Jonathan Bernier in time. So they came up with an odd solution:
Can't make this up: With Bibeau recalled by #Leafs, Bernier's backup with #Marlies tonight in Rochester is a Zamboni driver.
— Rob Longley (@longleysunsport) December 4, 2015
@longleysunsport @Proteautype here's your Zamboni driver, didn't take a shot in warmup until less than 3 min left pic.twitter.com/bCCpGzviQX

Both Marlies goalies are on the Leafs, Leafs season opening starter is in AHL and his backup tonight is the team Zamboni driver haha, unreal
— Adam (@pucker7) December 4, 2015
Of course, somebody had to take the obligatory shot at Bernier (which was probably let in for a goal):

And scene.
The Roberto Luongo Tweet Of The Week
It’s going to be hard for Luongo to top last week’s tweet, especially if he goes back to tweeting once a month. So we’ll give you an uplifting tweet showing what a good guy Luongo must be:

Steven Stamkos Does Twitter
So Steven Stamkos liked a tweet about going to Toronto. It fanned the flames for people who are speculating that he will sign with the Leafs when his contract is up if the Lightning don’t resign him to a long term deal.
Of course, when you like something on Twitter, Twitter likes you back.
Steven Stamkos can't even like a tweet about the Leafs without "wanting to sign with the Leafs next year." So much overanalyzing, man.

All this Stamkos discussion happening about the trolling the Leafs…. Surely he is just thinking about PAYDAY! pic.twitter.com/Rp583iiNpC
— Franklin C (@iFranklinC) December 11, 2015
So #Stamkos , possessed of superior athletic ability, accidentally likes a tweet? I don't think so. He's no butter fingers. #tweetgate #TSN
— sigh (@spock_saves) December 11, 2015
So fat fingered athletes can’t play hockey?
https://twitter.com/StrictlyRandy/status/675186905881960448
So that’s how his fingers got fat.
https://twitter.com/henderstu/status/675174866061008896
That’s a little healthier, at least.
Steven Stamkos likes tweets like Evander Kane does.
— Scott Campbell (@NHL_Campbell) December 11, 2015
Evander Kane actually leads Steven Stamkos in liked tweets, 417-0.
But will Stamkos actually sign with the Leafs in the off-season?
https://twitter.com/seanfarg/status/675199396905140224
Human beings, as you know, are prohibited from signing with the Leafs as a part of the collective bargaining agreement.
Celebrity Sighting:
I found Waldo! He's at the @NHLFlames game, right behind the bench. @BlakePriceTSN pic.twitter.com/9baAYO4mXJ
— Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) December 11, 2015
Waldo was in Calgary all along? All those books were a lie? I’m so disillusioned.
The Tortorella Effect
Winnipeg Jets fans are among the most creative in the league. So it’s no surprise they came up with the ultimate psych out:
Hello https://t.co/trqtJEcb2F
— BucciOT.Com (@Buccigross) December 11, 2015
I don’t know if it worked on coach, but I’m going to see floating pointing Tortorella in my nightmares.
And Finally
After a 5-1 Nashville victory over Chicago:
. @bircht1992 we can read the scoreboard so we’re all set.
— Nashville Predators (@PredsNHL) December 11, 2015
That sound you heard was the Predators dropping the mic.
