As a kid McDavid unwrapped Penguins jerseys at Christmas, tacked Crosby posters onto his bedroom wall, collected number 87 bobbleheads. “One day he asked if we could write a letter to Sidney Crosby to ask him how he deals with all the pressures,” says Kelly McDavid, Connor’s mother. “He felt this weight on him that he wanted to be just like Sidney and wanted to know how he did that.” Crosby was 15 at the time; McDavid was five.
smile that could light up the world 🌟 (he's down 0-4 half way through the first period. his head coach has just been kicked out the game. he's a man down.)
What are your top 3 nhl teams with the best vibes?
ooh ok. yea. fun. love this. im going to declare all my biases upfront: im a pens, bruins & wild fan so obviously my nr 1 is:
minny
they have flower. they have kaprizov. they go on homoerotic little holidays together. they have two deweys and one foligno. their captain is pretty and everyone is short. every game is somehow embarrassing. even if they win. especially if they win. 11/10 cant lose.
nr 2: philly
i dont follow them or root for them but i will have nightmares about the dog mask every day for the rest of my life. also they made drysdale come hang out w them during the all star break and that was cute. also the conga line. hardass coach but we stay silly. 9/10 solid vibes.
the worst thing is that jarry has a permanent pretty bitch face regardless of if he made a big save or just let a puck in so its easy to make a joke about giving him a knife when the penguins are being the penguins. but ned has a permanent sad face and when a puck goes in he looks like hes going to cry and it makes me so... :((
Just tried to explain my misery to my husband (penguins humiliating loss to the oilers) and he - who knows absolutely nothing about hockey - said “oh, was it that David McNathan again” and I now physically cannot be sad because I’m imagining the existence of a mcdavid/mackinnon hybrid
