EIHL Tweets of the Week – 29/10-4/11
The EIHL players of Twitter never fail to entertain, and this was a particularly action-packed week on the social network. There was a lot going on, with Halloween parties in full flow, the beginning of Movember, Matt Towe’s ironing woes (there’s a TV show there I’m sure), and the arrival of a Twitter legend on our shores. Let’s see what they got up to…
First up Braehead’s Sam Zajac ponders an insect-related world domination issue.

He’s probably right you know. Giant kettles at the ready!
Meanwhile it seems that Panthers’ Matt Francis has stepped far too close to the truth in one of his recent ponderings…
Is it just me or has Judy Dench been the same age for 30 years? Must be drinking the same water as the queen! #90isthenew60

Release the hounds.
It was only Tuesday and Belfast’s Matt Towe pretty much had Tweet of the Week in the bag.

You heard the man. Form an orderly queue.
Staying in Belfast, there was devastation for a well-known superhero.
I’m sorry spiderman. I’m cheating on you tonight.

‘But who with?!’ I hear you cry. Well here he is with some of his friends – see if you can spot him.

Blaze’s Russell Cowley Tweeted a picture of his own knee that had a distinctly Halloween-y feel to it.

Coventry surgeons in Frankenstein shocker.
For the second time this week, it’s time to form an orderly queue, as two Panthers need a new roommate.
After a lot of thought @lepine28 and I have decided to start auditioning for a new roommate. All applicants accepted. Bye @Steve45lee

I shudder to think what the ‘audition’ might involve. Or what poor Steve Lee did to find himself out on his ear.
Up the road to Sheffield, where Steelers’ netminder John DeCaro wins Movember on day 1.

Did no-one tell him about the British winter? I notice a distinct lack of thermals in there.
Elsewhere, Panthers’ Rob Lachowicz finds himself in a bit of a predicament.
Can someone explain how I locked my house keys in the car and the car keys in the house and why Im now stuck in the garden?

Hockey players. They play hockey for a reason. And it’s not just because they’re good at hockey.
Next: there’s always one Tweet that needs no introduction. And this is this week’s.

Cardiff boys never grow up.
On the Sheffield Steelers bus, sleeping solutions don’t get any more luxury than this example offered by Tylor Michel.
@shawnlimps needs his mouth guard to sleep like that. Safety never takes a holiday. pic.twitter.com/9AnyxJCZ

Mmm, comfy.
And finally – what Mike Danton wants, Mike Danton gets.
@BennyOlson @Adam27Keefe are you two clowns gonna give me some youtube footage today or what? #DropTheMitts already, would ya?! #Beauties

And so they did. Twice. The End.
Join me next week for more – but I warn you – it’s going to get weird.
