Tyler Seguin and Aly Raisman are both young, world-renowned athletes who, either by import or birth, call the Boston area home. They also have something of a Twitter friendship that has many wondering whether or not the duo could one day become a couple.
So it’s only natural they would have a back-and-forth on Twitter when one of them dons a rival’s colors.
The gold medal-winning Raisman tweeted a picture of herself and fellow Olympic gymnasts Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney and Nastia Liukin wearing the blue-and-white of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Taking a page out of Maroney’s book, the Bruins’ No. 19 was unimpressed.
“@aly_raisman: I know there’s an @nhl lockout but whenever it’s over we’re ready 😉 twitter.com/Aly_Raisman/st…” tough colours there

Perhaps if Seguin was not over in Switzerland, he could give Raisman a piece of his mind … and perhaps some personalized Bruins swag.
