Over the last month (especially since the NHL Draft), I have found myself using twitter several hours a day. Twitter has really changed the way hockey rumours have been delivered. No matter what, it seems that a rumour is posted on twitter before it is a website. For example, today I had Jacques Lemaire signing with the Devils before it hit Hockeyleaks.com. Eklund, James Mirtle, Darren Dreger, etc. all post their latest rumours on twitter first, their websites second.
If you don't have a twitter account, I suggest signing up for one so you can be the first to know about EVERYTHING that happens in the NHL.
To get you started, here is a list of the best hockey tweets on twitter.
@hockeyleaks - of coarse, this is me.
