EIHL Tweets of the Week: 13/09/13-19/09/13
Welcome back to another rendition of UK American Sports Fans EIHL Tweets of the Week! Here you will find the weird, the wonderful and the wacky, all in one hit.
Twitter has been rather quiet this week due to most hockey players locked in their rooms, salivating over the release of Grand Theft Auto V and the new iOS 7 update. If I see one more screenshot of how long someone’s iPhone takes to update…
And it seems I’m not the only one:
You know societies lost when people are taking days off of work to stay home and play #GrandTheftAuto

Well said Marc. Top of the league Dundee Stars’ defenceman Rory Rawlyk just about made it to the gym:
Hardest thing in my day today. " going to the gym " hence having to turn of #GTA5 but now it's back n running#beauty

But it hasn’t been all fun and games (pun intended) for some:
Start updating phone last night, takes hours, finally updates about 5am when am sleeping, turns all my alarms off and I sleep in for work.Ta

Are you sure you didn’t sleep late because you were playing Grand Theft Auto Danny?
Talking of Apple, Fife Flyers’ Jordan Fulton has a tip for us:
I always carry an apple with me in case of a hunger emergency!
— Jordan Fulton (@JordanFulton23) September 19, 2013
You know what they say Jordan, an apple a day keeps GTA at bay!
Meanwhile, down in the Welsh capital, it’s not apples they’re eating:
Conboy has been eating nails and glass before practice all week to get prepared for the weekend #animal
— Andrew Lord (@AndrewLord17) September 13, 2013
I heard this is Conboy’s favourite TV dinner, whilst gaming… Yes you’ve guessed it folks, Grand Theft Auto! Ok, I’ll stop now.
Some players have been so wrapped up in their gaming this week, they have resorted to asking fans for advice on daily life:
What is an acceptable distance to walk somewhere in your slippers? If it includes crossing a main road is that too far? #todaysquestion
— Tom Squires (@tomsquires91) September 16, 2013
No Tom, just no.
There seems to be a pattern emerging amongst theses “hard” hockey players:
Not going out in that! pic.twitter.com/Yeceo9JhjW

And brace yourselves…
Hate it when the rain ruins your hair !!!
— Lee Bonner (@leebonner7) September 15, 2013
Incredible. Moving swiftly on before their street cred is totes ruined…
I bet the “Puck Bunnies” were all over this one:
I would like to thank @BCham90 for tweeting my phone number for a brief moment, I love getting random texts #Rookie #Billsinthemail
— Kyle Mariani (@KyleMariani4) September 15, 2013
Did you get my text by any chance Kyle?
And if Simmsey thought Grand Theft Auto would outshine his #BlackPaintGate, he was mistaken:
@Simmsey jibidi jabidi doo and the ice behind your goal isn't blue!
— Max Birbraer (@Birbraer23) September 14, 2013
You’re a poet Max, and Simmsey knows it!
And finally, in the words of our biggest EIHL gamer:
Put a fork in me.

Until next week folks, happy gaming!
