EIHL Tweets of the Week: 22/10-28/10
It’s Week 3 of my headlong foray into the EIHL Twitterverse, and this week we find that things have calmed down again somewhat. Unspoken truces appear to have been called on the wars of words that raged in the previous week and we were back to sweetness and light in the lives of the players of the Elite League.
Let’s see what they got up to.
First the reaction from the Belfast Giants’ trip to Germany for the Continental Cup, as Captain Keefe reflects on his findings in Landshut.
I learned a few things about Germany this wknd. 1. They love there carbonated water. 2. There beer is extremely strong. #Hung

You and me both, Keefer. Tylor Michel, meanwhile, is busy preparing for future parties over in Sheffield.
Hey @hewy17 do you have any pirate boots laying around in your collection? Unfortunately I’m serious. #teamhalloween #worstcostume
— Tylor Michel (@Tmich16) October 22, 2012
‘Tis the season to be… a pirate, apparently. Are they really that scary? I suppose when Tylor Michel is dressed as one they probably are, quite.
Robby Sandrock goes to the easiest school in the UK shocker.
On another school note. Second class today is a tour of the odyssey. I better get an “A” in class today

Think even I could manage a pass in that class. Question 1: where is the bar? Messrs Sandrock and Keefe appear to have engaged in some serious Belfast-related soul-searching this week:
@adam27keefe yup. 5 more years. Build a life here Keefer. #brickbybrick

Why do I feel like I’m intruding on a deep and meaningful here?
Anyone ever imagine Panthers’ enforcer Guillaume Lepine as basically a big kid?
@steve45lee can we go to the zoo #lovelions
— Guillaume Lépine (@lepine28) October 25, 2012
Can we?! Can we?! He’s SO not scary. Belfast’s Matt Towe provides a startling insight into the psychology of a dog this week.
Love how @garside7 gives his puppy a carrot treat when she’s been good…if I was the dog I’d be thinking shove that carrot up your #****..

The man has a point.
Braehead’s Sam Zajac: fashion icon.
not afraid to rock sweat pants in the sauna

Enough said. Coventry’s Sam Smith reveals his softer side this week.
Watching apocalypse with @bennyolson couldn’t think of anyone better to be with come the end of the world. #bodyguard

The trust between a skater and his enforcer. It’s beautiful, man.
Back to Adam Keefe, who has learned some serious life lessons this week.
1 lesson Ive learned in life is..If u have silk bedding don’t slide or jump into bed or u will end up on the floor on the other side! #Silky

How the other half live! That’s a first world problem if ever I’ve heard one. Not so back in Coventry where it seems Gerome Giudice has been without power for two days.
2nd day without electricity.. Fridge is outside the window.. Anyone hungry? @domepie yfrog.com/nvykmolj

Hockey players are nothing if not resourceful.
This week’s prize for Hockey Man Love™ goes to Matt Towe, who isn’t afraid to express his love for team-mate Davey Phillips.
Not a day goes by that @davephillips13 doesn’t bring a smile to @peaks71 and my face #beauty
— Matt Towe (@towey74) October 28, 2012
D’aww. And finally, Coventry’s Dustin Cameron sums up a night to remember (or perhaps forget) in Cardiff’s Big Blue Tent.
Great 2 win weekend for the boys! What a Barn burner tonight in Cardiff #oldtimehockey stick together win together
— dustin cameron(@dcams20) October 28, 2012
A ‘barn burner’ – hockey player-speak for a mass post-game brawl. That’s good to know.
Thanks as always for reading and join me next week for more Twitterings from our lovely EIHL players.
