Best hockey tweets of 2014

Hockey's best tweet of 2014 include Roberto Luongo, Maple Leafs fan's penalty box selfie with Phil Kessel, more.

Pretty soon the NHL will be in Las Vegas. From there it’s only a matter of time before the league has to ban all social media. So let’s enjoy these tweets while we still can, OK? Last year set a lofty standard for micro-blogging from the hockey community. And yet despite having decidedly less Luongo, 2014 provided quite a few gems too.

One of the fantasy leagues I was in last year is now defunct because literally half the people who were in it now work for NHL teams.

I like the hiring of Darryl Metcalf. I dislike the hiring of Cam Charron, who from my experiences is a weasel who can't be trusted.
