AHL Twitter wars

AHL twitter is something that immediately caught my eye. While NHL twitter is usually specific to team and team events, AHL seems more relaxed. Memes, gifs, jokes, its a more fun.

For example, when waiting for the schedule's release:

Hey @TheAHL, it's about that time! #AHLSchedule pic.twitter.com/x0cEP5djY3

4 HOURS TILL THE SCHEDULE'S HERE! Any guesses on who our first opponent will be? pic.twitter.com/c2RR76Dsfd

 While you might occasionally get a team to call out another on twitter in the large but the opening game, teams were throwing out little tweets like this:

Hey @AlbanyDevils... See you October 10th 😜 pic.twitter.com/yS76Eh5Axq

ICYMI:#AHLSchedule was released today. Home opener against @TheHersheyBears has them concerned http://t.co/mVNlQHt6EL pic.twitter.com/adtPK7dCcN

Its silly stupid but its fun. I guess if the schedule isn't going to encourage a rivalry, the social media can. 

PS: The twitter beef between the Falcons and Wolfpack was gold...

.@TheFalconsAHL The Wolf Pack have won more playoff games in the last 4 months than the Falcons have in 10 years. pic.twitter.com/ckk1IMMx8O

But the tweet below sucks. Clean it up Hartford.

The Wolf Pack will play at home on April Fools day. Or will we? Maybe it's an April fools joke. Maybe there is no game...

 As a side note, you can follow me on twitter @dmeczywor. I assure you I will offer you nothing of value there.
