Well folks, it’s that time of year again; when we all gather around the fire and participate in the first annual Habs Twitter Draft!
Mastermind Arik assigned me the daunting task of creating a mock draft for the #habstwitterdraft. I had a problem with that, as illustrated below:
Arik: I want you to create a mock draft for the #habstwitterdraft
Me: Ok but wouldn’t I just be picking your teams for you?
Arik: I thought of that, maybe do something else.
Me: Alright, cool.
Arik: You are really smart and handsome.
Me: I know.
That went on for a good 45 minutes.
The outcome was that I would do a Pre-Draft Ranking for all of the categories required in the #habstwitterdraft.
It is definitely not a mock draft.
I am definitely not picking their teams for them.
Enjoy these rankings, with some tweets and in depth hard hitting analysis.
Remember, these are my views, if you don’t like them I have others.
Current Canadiens Players
The thing about the Habs tweeting is that they’re pretty on par with the rest of the athlete twitter world. There are some gems out there but a lot of it is RTs of people asking them to RT stuff (birthdays, charities, sex requests etc.)
Parros gets number 1 for his bio alone: On-ice assailant, power play specialist, minister of moustachery. (The joke is that he isn’t a power play specialist, get it?).
In honor of Teemu’s “decision video” stay tuned for my “lunch decision” video, sure to also be a sensation…

3. P.K. Subban
PK’s twitter account is a combination of pictures of him working out, #ALWAYSON hashtags and himself trying to be Hulk Hogan in the 80s.

Honorable Mentions:
Josh Gorges: He has some pretty good tweets, look it up, I’m not doing everything for you.
Brendan Gallagher: He’s real cute and is a Canadiens player on twitter.
Members of the English Montreal media
There are a lot of these guys/girls out there, and a lot of them are fantastic. I would include all of you but there are strict rules that I need to adhere to, I can’t just pick and choose when to apply the rules what do you think I am an NHL ref? (HEYO!)
Note: After I typed (HEYO!) I went on a 3 hour walk through the wilderness. I did a lot of thinking and soul-searching and decided to included everyone who is a member of the media who you wouldn’t consider a “blogger.” That’s print/internet print/radio/TV etc. Here’s a top 10. All of this is strictly related to their twitter presence and has nothing to do with their work outside the twitter realm. If you’re not following this list then there’s something wrong with your brain.
I feel like this is going to get me a lot of hate, if anyone hates this I totally didn’t write it.
Felt weird doing this because I really like a lot of these people.
1. Arpon Basu
Arpon is the managing editor for LNH.com, though his tweets are mostly in English. He engages in discussion, posts news, is active and isn’t afraid to share his opinion.
Louis Leblanc is 22, he’s far from done as a player. He’s being challenged by the organization. Up to him to react well.
— Arpon Basu (@ArponBasu) September 17, 2013
Has Danny Kristo done something of late that I’ve missed? Seriously. Just wondering.
— Arpon Basu (@ArponBasu) September 17, 2013

Instigator goes to McCormick. Picking a fight with someone because that someone was playing hockey.
— Arpon Basu (@ArponBasu) September 16, 2013
2. Eric Engels
Engels is one of if not my favourite read/feeds on twitter. He’s witty and brings something different than just reporting on the Canadiens. He’s also really active and engages with his followers which is something you like to see.
Not allowed to tuck in your jersey? Strip Gretzky of the records… Apparently this has been in the rulebook for more than 50 years.
— Eric Engels (@EricEngels) September 19, 2013
So, the question becomes: If Briere can be healthy enough to play 70 games, will anything less than 45 pts be a disappointment?
— Eric Engels (@EricEngels) September 18, 2013
People will no doubt be impressed with Reway’s hands and speed, but it’s his hockey sense that has me impressed. Going to tear up the Q

— Eric Engels (@EricEngels) September 6, 2013
3. John Lu
If you want straight up reporting, John Lu is your man. He’s at pretty much every Habs related event and will be one of the first to tweet lineups/news etc.
#Habs lines vs. Canes: Pacioretty/Desharnais/Collberg; Prust/Galchenyuk/Thomas; Bournival/Holland/McCarron; Tarnasky/Dumont/Blunden

4. Dave Stubbs
Stubbs is a romantic. Every tweet is a feature and he does it well, giving you information from an angle that few are able to get it from.

— Dave Stubbs (@Dave_Stubbs) September 15, 2013
Stubbs may have the ability to morph into a fly on the wall.
5. Conor McKenna
Conor is surging into the Montreal sports media scene and we couldn’t be happier about that. Perfect combination of snark, knowledge and “down to earth-ness.” He might own the best dog in the world.
My last sportscast of the day is at 8:26 and you really should listen because if you don’t you’ll regret it for the rest of the day.

6. Mitch Melnick
Melnick’s tweets are short and sweet, he carries over his radio work to the twitter world and it’s pretty entertaining.
Can’t help but wonder if Louis Leblanc is thinking about Harvard.

8. Brian Wilde
The best thing about Wilde’s twitter presence is that he debates, a lot, with his followers. Hard to find a member of the MSM who engages as much as him.
Okay, PK beat your brother. I need a story.

9. Heather Engel
Heather is very underrated. She seems to have access to every event and is not shy to tweet quotes and news that others miss. She also provides some great commentary to the news which is nice.

Bonus Addition: Mike Boone
Mike flew under the radar because he “retired” not too long ago. I’m adding him to the list because his tweets are classic.

Members of the French Montreal media
Il ya beaucoup de ces gars / filles là-bas, et beaucoup d’entre eux sont fantastiques. J’inclurais vous tous, mais il ya des règles strictes que je dois respecter, je ne peux pas choisir quand appliquer les règles qu’est-ce que vous pensez que je suis un arbitre LNH? (HEYO!)
Note: Après avoir tapé (HEYO!) Je suis allé sur une promenade de 3 heures à travers le désert. J’ai fait beaucoup de réflexion et d’introspection et a décidé d’inclure tout le monde qui est un membre des médias qui vous ne seriez pas envisager un “blogueur“. C’est print / internet print / radio / télévision, etc Voici un top 5. Tout cela est strictement liée à leur présence sur twitter et n’a rien à voir avec leur travail en dehors de la sphère twitter. Si vous ne suivez pas cette liste alors il ya quelque chose de mal avec votre cerveau.
J’ai l’impression que cela va me faire beaucoup de haine, si quelqu’un déteste cela, je n’ai absolument pas l’écrire.
C’était bizarre de faire cela parce que je l’aime vraiment beaucoup de ces personnes.
1. Marc-Antoine Godin
Marc-Antoine is a beat writer for La Presse and the best account in terms of French Media out there. He’s always quick to report news and opinions as well as interact with his followers. Like the majority of the fanbase his tweets are “70% French and 30% English”
<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p>Cam Ward est de retour pour la 3e période. Il doit déjà trouver la soirée longue.</p>— Marc Antoine Godin (@MAGodin) <a href=”https://twitter.com/MAGodin/statuses/381229235316088832″>September 21, 2013</a></blockquote>

A lot of his French tweets are followed up by English ones, which is cool of him.
3. Guillaume LeFrancois
Hell of a last name eh? Bad. Ass. Sounds like a Bond villain. Guillaume is a high quality follow and should be on your list if he isn’t already on it.

Rounding out the top 5 is Richard Labbe who is a write for La Presse. Give him a look.

Hamilton Bulldogs media member
This is tricky because frankly I don’t know many of them. Our number 1 is the clear cut number 1 authority on the Bulldogs within the media realm.
1. Derek Wills
Derek is the PBP announcer for the Bulldogs so you can pretty much get most if not all of your Bulldogs info from him when the media is concerned. Whoever drafts him will have Bulldogs advantage.
<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p>Louis Leblanc beats Peter Delmas high glove side with a WICKED wrist shot from the slot.

Non-EOTP bloggers
Contrary to popular belief, there are other Habs sites out there, and there are several other bloggers who write for those sites.
Here’s my top 6, though I could have made a top 26.
1. Dan Kramer
Dan writes for All-Habs and is a contstant flow of information, opinion and analysis on both the Habs and Bulldogs. (He likes the Bulldogs too much, IMO)
