Twitter has become a source of information for some players. With talks lately lasting into the late-night hours, players have taken to social media to follow the latest from reporters. "Especially right now when there's talks going on," Paul Gaustad said. "It's an interesting thing in this lockout being the social media aspect with communication. It can help in a lot of areas and it can hurt in a lot of areas with everybody having a voice." Others log into the NHLPA app players have on their phones. "That's how I've been getting my information," Nick Spaling said. "Sometimes other sources aren't so accurate, and you can put whatever you want on there. It is what it is, but we wait for the correct information to come our way."
