So Ron Wilson told THN Radio (on @XMHomeIce) he's trying to get Brian Burke on Twitter. Let the bracing of yourself begin.

Guess who just joined twitter:

Probably won't be as fun as DGB's parody account, but it could still be nice if he's active.

so what is twitter. I have never been on this site.

And Burke gets into his first twitter exchange with a media member:

@simmonssteve steve simmons
So here's the question: Is it really @LeafsBB20 Brian Burke on Twitter or is a team PR flak doing what he thinks is the right thing?
19 Nov via TweetDeck

@LeafsBB20 Brian Burke
Flattered by the enthusiastic response on Twitter. Will follow League guidelines and not tweet much on game days.

@LeafsBB20 Brian Burke
@simmonssteve And who on earth is Steve Simmons?

This could be gold if they (and Berger) go at it some day.

@simmonssteve: I feel special. Both @LeafsBB20 and @coachrw63 have blocked me on Twitter. #howsmallisthat?

coachrw63 Ron Wilson
Amazing, I have not blocked Simmons, but I certainly don't follow him, nor do I care if he follows me. #arrogance

LOL Simmons, what a prick.

Simmons - What an maroon. I have to ask... is @LeafsBB20 the real deal?

Yes. It's been confirmed the the official Leafs twitter.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Could be fun

LeafsBB20 Brian Burke
To set the record straight, I have not blocked anybody. #getyourfactsstraight

Wait, Steve Simmons fabricated an issue to create a controversy? I can't believe it. I don't believe it. I shan't believe it. My world is now crumbling around.

 

[Bonsixx]

If I remember correctly, recently Simmons and Cox got into it on Twitter, with Cox revealing that Simmons isn't deemed capable of covering live sporting events anymore, so he has to make up issues.

How small is that?

It takes a big man to lie to the public to fabricate controversy and walk away without suffering any consequences. A very big man.

I love Twitter.    Steve Simmons is like that nerdy kid that people always picked on growing up.  He's trying to tell on the "bullies" that are Wilson and Burke.  This is why I use Twitter.  ;D ;D ;D

coachrw63 Ron Wilson

I don't know much about blocking people on twitter, but if Wilson had blocked Simmons then wouldn't Simmons not be able to see any of Wilson's tweets, including the one where he replied to Simmons about blocking him that Simmons responded to?

Exactly. The funny thing is Wilson didn't reply directly to Simmons, he just tweeted a normal message. The only way you can read that message is if
a) you're following Wilson directly
b) you have Wilson on a list

Either way Simmons was able to see that tweet and replied to it saying "why can't I see your tweets then??"
LOL

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

For the sake of accuracy, Simmons tweeted that message before Wilson's message.

 

[Zee]

For the sake of accuracy, Simmons tweeted that message before Wilson's message.

No he didn't. Wilson tweeted at 5:16 and Simmons replied at 5:17
