Sharks take issue with ‘Sharknado’ jokes

during Game Six of the Western Conference Semifinals during the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs at HP Pavilion on May 26, 2013 in San Jose, California.

It was so ridiculously terrific, the TV movie Sharknado is now being referenced in a ProHockeyTalk post.

On Friday, after the science fiction TV movie lit up television screens in the U.S., a back-and-forth began on Twitter between those operating the ESPN, San Jose Sharks and, later on, St. Louis Blues’ accounts.

Below is the exchange between @espn and @SanJoseSharks. We’ll give the decision to the San Jose Sharks on this one.

However, the Sharks organization has removed the tweet directed to ESPN.

Then, the St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) got involved. And they probably should not have done that. It backfired on them, much like it did with ESPN.
