I thought coach Tortorella was coming into our dressing room to say hi but he wasn't.


This tweet was posted at 8:56 pm PST, which makes it either in the 1st intermission or early in the second period I think. If the account is run by one of the players, O'Brien was out of the game at that time. I'd bet against him though, as the word pattern is too different from Shane's. Parody accounts have trouble keeping up the same schtick over the long haul, and a lot of them revert to a different writing style closer to their own.


Boring's tweet on January 6th when he scored was done 46 minutes after his 1st period goal and was in the first intermission. His tweet on December 31 was 26 minutes after his 2nd period goal in that game and was during the intermission. O'Brien was playing both nights.
That tone wouldn't be THAT tough to keep. If you put thought into how you worded every tweet that would be pretty easy to keep up. It's just stating things in a really blunt way and for some reason I find it hilarious.
