AHL Twitter Wars: Celebrities, Smackdown and NHL 16 ratings

Figured I would check in with AHL Twitter to see how things were going. Any new chirps, or beefs? Anything of interest? Ok, so the Hamilton Bulldogs keep talking up something. They've been scorned by the AHL and re-aligned with the OHL, lets see how they're handling the transistion...

Yup, that is a burn and  half. That's the equivalent of breaking up with someone and then the next day they have new arm candy that happens to be a model / astrophysicist. "Fine, you don't want us in the AHL? Whatever, we still got Tom Hanks and Martin short doing promotional bits for us."

Wait... You mean the Bulldogs are really St. Johns now, and the Ontario Team is just some old OHL team renamed? Why is this all so complicated!?!

Anyway, obligatory Hartford Wolf Pack / Springfield Falcons.

.@TheFalconsAHL @DMeczywor Don't feel bad, the @TheFalconsAHL "let us" beat them all the time.

Admittedly, I had a hand in this one, but they took the ball and ran with it. But Springfield, what are you doing? You have a video saying vs Hartford games don't sell as well as vs Providence! That's when you chirp back with  something like "It's cute how Hartford thinks its a rival when they don't sell as well. #irrelevant" or something like that. Instead your response is...

@WolfPackAHL @DMeczywor we'll let the Undertaker pick up on this one... #creepylaugh pic.twitter.com/rSr0coFRZP

But that's fine, it works. It basically says "We'll do our talking on the ice. We're coming for you."  Which is good. Certainly better than how the Checkers and Ice Caps "Smack talk"

.@IceCapsAHL This is nothing sending us a big case of maple syrup wouldn't smooth over...

What I left out was all the talk about who had better fried chicken. No. Seriously.

Clean it up guys.

I know I talk about how much the Crunch fight, but it seems like most of the Phantoms countdown images involve fights...

This is how we felt when we realized there was exactly one month until the home opener! pic.twitter.com/Aida6hZeEZ

And with the release of NHL 16, there were a lot of tweets going out about that. The best is the following exchange:

.@Condors @EASPORTSNHL We don't see a problem there.

I'm sure there were more highlights I'm missing but they got drowned out in a lot of rookie tournament action going
