Live Tweeting to the Stanley Cup

Not much talk about this but #Kings were a bounce away from being up 2-0 on #Sharks. Looked dominant in game 2 even w/out Stoll. #SJSLAKless than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® Favorite Retweet Reply


The @NHL is using Twitter to immerse fans in the journey to Lord Stanley’s Cup both on and off the ice throughout the playoffs. Indeed, following playoff hashtags on Twitter is like listening to a radio announcer while simultaneously hearing from passionate fans during the game.

The @NHL has built lists for the teams, players, and has even deemed some fans official by adding the most enthusiastic ones to a team fan list like this one, which follows nearly 70 Coyote devotees. As Tweets fly from the rink, you can sit back and watch the stream from wherever you happen to be, and get the scoop on important calls or moments as they happen.

Here are some resources to get you closer to the action:
