DZ: Do you look at your mentions on Twitter? Is it something you tend to avoid now? (Jeff ONeill walks by) DZ: Im sure thats something you deal with, too (laughs). Jeff ONeill: What, the idiot people? DZ: Do often do you look at twitter mentions? AR: Daily, probably. ODog: I think Ive probably said a hundred times "*@#$ this man...Im done with it, Im not doing this, I dont need this in my life!" You know what I mean? AR: (laughs) yeah. @TynanV makes me an expert in a way doesnt it? — Jeff ONeill (@odognine2) December 8, 2014 ODog: People are literally hating on me, I dont even know them! AR: (laughs) Yeah, and they dont even know you. ODog: Thats the goofy part. I sometimes direct message people and tell them "you dont even know me, man. Like are you aware of that?" Youre making all these...statements and comments...you dont even know me. AR: (laughs) Yeah, yeah. DZ: Do you ever find that interacting with those who mention you in mean tweets actually dissuades others from doing the same? Having them possibly say "oh wow, she actually does read these." AR: Ive actually never responded to anybody through a Twitter mention, again especially if its of the negative variety, because for me, it just feeds it more. If I respond back, theyre going to have to come back again, and again. So it just builds and builds and builds. @MapleLeafs ya thats it !!! A great stop. LMFAO Way to BLOW it @april_reimer — Shawn (@hockeycanada25) January 22, 2015 DZ: I guess back to the Twitter mentions, you say you do look at them? AR: I do look at them, but as soon as I see a bad one, before I even finish reading them I delete and block that person. DZ: (laughs) Fair enough, no need to keep them around. Whats one of the best interactions youve had with a fan on Twitter, outside of this campaign that youve started? AR: Yeah! With my Twitter account, again, Ive been able to use it for many good things and so some of the highlights have been some fans have been able to interact with James personally through me, so Ive been able to get them hockey cards signed by him, Ive gotten tickets to fans. There have been a couple cancer patients that have written in saying that theyre the biggest Leafs fans and that theyd love to get something signed, so Ive been able to get t-shirts signed by the whole team and send them to them. And so again, just as Twitter can be used to tear people down, it can be used to build people up! Friend saw this at the grocery store, thanks sobeys for the support :) #goleafsgo pic.twitter.com/piY71iZWAV — April Reimer (@april_reimer) April 7, 2014 DZ: What are some of the not so great interactions youve had online, outside of what happened during the playoffs? AR: It wont go into the severity of some of the worse ones, but something along the lines of "your husband cant stop a beach ball." DZ: (laugh) Yeah, I see. Not so nice. AR: Yeah, again thats just something thats just a borderline critique, because he is a public figure and people can have opinions, but that ones kind of tip-toeing the line (laughs), at the end of the day ones like that arent that bad. DZ: Going back to the 2013 playoffs, what was the conversation like between you and Elisha when you saw the picture of the perceived cut- eye trending? AR: It happened right away, we went down to the wives lounge and Elisha was saying "hey, apparently we hate each other" and I went "we do?" And then she showed me the picture the clip or showed me the pictures and what people were saying, thats where we said "wow, we need to act quickly." So we took a picture together and we tweeted it out sort of saying "no its out of context, were good." And at the end of the day people are going to say what theyre going to say. Elisha and I knew we were good, Dion and James knew we werent angry with either of them in any way, so you just sort of got to laugh it off and move on. DZ: Describe the difference between encountering a fan online and in person? AR: Yeah, for example, for how many followers I have on Twitter I probably have not met everybody face to face (laughs). I think its different sometimes, especially if youre a celebrity or a professional athlete, where they look at you more like a product and they forget that youre still a person, that you have a family or kids and so when you meet them face to face they kinda see the humanity to you, realizing that at the end of the day you are just a person just like everybody else, and you do have feelings and youre not immune to what people say. (Courtesy: NHL.com - Maple Leafs) DZ: In person have you ever had anybody heckle you at all, like outside of a game, just walking through a mall or on the street? AR: No, no, no. Any person Ive interacted with that has known me or if they see me walking with James, weve never had anybody in front of our faces say anything cruel or mean. So that also just shows you something about cyber-bullying. They feel so safe behind their screens to say what they want, but I bet you if they walked up to James in the mall, theyd probably ask for an autograph. DZ: Keyboard Warriors is the term I believe (laughs). AR: Exactly (laughs). DZ: And my final question...can you go BarDown? AR: (laughs) Yes! I can at least shoot a hockey puck, Ive at least learned that! To learn more about Aprils #TweetSweet campaign, you can visit the website here. .

South Koreas Kim Yuna began her quest for a second straight Olympic gold medal by posting the top score on Wednesday in the womens short program at the Sochi Olympics. But Kims advantage is slim. She scored a 74.92 as the 17th performer and her lead held solid until Italys Carolina Kostner put together a routine that netted her a score of 74.12. Russias Adelina Sotnikova then sent the home crowd into a frenzy with a routine that scored at 74.64, putting her a mere .28 behind Kim, known in her home country as Queen Yuna. Canadas Kaetlyn Osmond damaged her short program with a heavy stumble en route to a score of 56.18. She is currently 13th. Kims score on Wednesday was good enough to put her first going into Thursdays free skate, with medals awarded following that event. Kim, a two- time world champion, is aiming to become the first repeat gold medalist in the ladies singles since Katarina Witt in 1984 and 88. The 23-year-old used a score of 78..dddddddddddd.50 in the short program en route to gold four years ago in Vancouver and was solid in Sochi despite a foot injury suffered in September that held her out of action until December. Japans Mao Asada, who won a silver four years ago, fell during her routine and was 16th with a score of 55.51. The U.S. saw its three skaters finish in the top seven, led by Gracie Golds score of 68.63 that landed her in fourth. Ashley Wagner was sixth following a score of 65.21, putting her behind 15- year-old Russian fan-favorite Yulia Lipnitskaya. She earned a score of 65.23 despite a fall during her routine on a triple flip. Another 15-year-old had a solid showing in American Polina Edmunds, who set a new season-best with a score of 61.04 to put her in seventh place. The American woman have something to prove after failing to win an Olympic medal for the first time since 1964 four years ago in Vancouver. In fact, theres only been one U.S. medalist in the ladies singles in the past two Olympics and that was a silver by Sasha Cohen in 2006. ' ' '
