May has been both a busy and exciting month for the National Hockey League and its’ teams who have competed in the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs. While the NHL is down to just two teams bidding for the Stanley Cup in this year’s Finals, other clubs and players from around the league have still been entertaining us — as they take their personalities to social media.
