Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. It’s the Hockey Tweets of the Week. And guys … we have a problem here. It’s week 20, and there is a very real chance that the playoffs , which will arrive very soon, will be missing an entire region of the world:
Canada.
Seriously guys, there are seven Canadian based franchises, and none of them currently are in a playoff spot. None of them are even close. We all know about the Leafs, who endured a 7-2 loss to Chicago this week:
Beating the leafs is like beating up a snow man. You'll get bored in 2 min and it'll still be destroyed.

But the Montreal Canadiens were getting killed 6-2 on the same night by Arizona:
Ppl enjoying the leafs score. We not far behind that now.

The amazing thing about the Habs being as bad as the Leafs is their fans actually have spirit left to crush and it's beautiful to watch.

But the Canadian social media suffering wasn’t limited to just Montreal and Toronto:
This is one of those #NHLJets game where I have the Benny Hill theme song running through my head as I watch.

At Least Matt Moulson Didn’t Tank On Purpose … I Think
Matt Moulson has had a rough go of it this season. He saw a goal scoring drought of 50 games end this week, much to the delight of Twitter.
Some even saw it coming:

It’s like how animals can predict earthquakes.
Matt Moulson scored. The world is ending

Well, he tries.
Some Advice For Dennis Wideman
Poor Dennis Wideman. His 20 game suspension was upheld, mainly because of a text that he sent to a teammate about “the stupid refs” and “the stupid media”. Devils beat guy Tom Gulitti has some sage advice for Wideman:
Tom Brady needs to give Dennis Wideman lessons on cell phone disposal.

Best Use Of Creepy Clown Graphics In A Tweet
This goes to the Dallas Stars as they wished their head coach a happy birthday:

Then Lindy Ruff complained that the clown should have gotten a game misconduct.

The Roberto Luongo Tweet Of The Week
And boy, I hope this is a true account:

Of course, it might not have been Roberto Luongo. It might have been Al Montoya. People have mistaken one for the other:

Or just do a Google Image search.
