Ricardo Alberto Ledée, better known as a baseball player for seven teams across his ten seasons, is one of Twitter's greatest treasures. He is also a big hockey fan:

I honestly believe the penguins are garbage, such as a rotten banana or a used tissue
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) May 3, 2014
I am sorry but this hockey game is better than any baseball game I've seen in about 10 years.

Sadly for Ricky, his wife Theresa also likes to watch television:
Are we watching hockey? No we are watching my big fat American gypsy wedding on TLC. You simply cannot make this stuff up my life
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) May 23, 2014

— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) April 25, 2014
Theresa interrupts his baseball watching, too:

Sometimes Ricky is able to watch the NHL draft, but only on tape delay:
im watching the nhl draft on DVR now we just got back from Applebee's great meal as always
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) June 27, 2014
And this year, he had to go in the basement to do so:
Watching NHL draft in the basement because Theresa is doing her exercise tapes on the big tv in the living room until 7:30p m
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) June 26, 2015
Theresa even cancelled their subscription to NHL Network in favor of some hummus at Whole Foods:
we got rid of NHL network this week but we apparently can still get the expensive hummus at whole foods think about that for a second
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) December 13, 2013
Ricky and Theresa seem to have a few conflicts:
Theresa is being a nag tonight AS USUAL
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) June 13, 2014

— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) June 30, 2015
But they work through it:
@baldvinny we are trying to work on things by sharing experiences such as watching tv. It is a work in progress
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) November 19, 2013
Back to hockey, Ricky is a Flyers fan:
I can't believe I drove to Raleigh to see this horrible flyers team waste of time they are just not very good at all pic.twitter.com/ZVYm7NwDHx
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) February 25, 2015
Wow flyers
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) April 30, 2014
Lots of people asking me about the zack rinaldo trade woth flyers but I have not had time to digest it all the way but I love it LOVE IT
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) June 30, 2015
Flyers coach craerg Berube isn't putting players in best position to win. To me that's what 90% of coaching is. Let players do rest.
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) November 28, 2014
And like all Flyers fans, he likes to make fun of the Penguins:
I honestly believe the penguins are garbage, such as a rotten banana or a used tissue
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) May 3, 2014
PENGUINS STINK
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) April 17, 2015
When do penguins pick I first round haha just kidding with you all
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) June 27, 2015
Penguins don't have a first round pick
— Ricky Ledee (@ricky_ledee) June 27, 2015
To tie him in to Battle of California, Ricky rooted for the Kings against the Rangers in the 2014 Stanley Cup Final:

Ricky correctly predicted the Oilers' fate this past season:
