ok so i havent rly seen davo play so all the talk about how good he is doesnt get to me? is there like… something i should look at to see why hes so good lmao

santamitchy:

Everything. He literally does everything well. If you watch him i feel like even someone who isn’t a hockey fan and doesn’t know what good hockey players look like would be able to see.

First of his points per game is over 1. that means you’ll most likely see him score or assist in the game you’re in.

he’s easily the fastest guy on the ice. You’ll see him with a defender about 5 feet in front of him and then the defender is eating his dust and floudering behind him as he scores on the goalie.

Did i mention he scores all the time ????

He’s also responsible af on the ice, like if you manage to stop him from getting the puck he’ll somehow get it anyway ??? and he’ll also probably steal the puck from you.

Literally at a game i went to Chara couldn’t have been more over him. 6 foot 9 needs a waive because his stick is too long chara, literally glued himself to mcdavid and connor still got the puck off to maroon who scored.

another thing htat makes im good is his ability to draw attention away from his linemates. like everyone’s on him which makes it easier for his teammates to score. 

idk man he’s good at every aspect of hockey, but his main thing is speed just bcaue that’s the easiest to spot. but he’s literally going to be the best hockey player maybe of this generation possibly ever.

More importantly, I’m fairly certain this is the photoshoot in which THIS happened:

After three hours in a photo studio with Alexander Ovechkin, posing in light that flattered them almost as much as their statistics from incandescent rookie seasons in 2005–06, Crosby tugged his black number 87 Penguins sweater over his head, held it out to Ovechkin, clothed in his Capitals gear, and asked almost shyly, “Want to trade?”

AAAAHHHH IT GOT BETTER

“What do you think it means to be a Toronto Maple Leafs fan?”

“That’s a good question. I think it’s your childhood, i think it’s your youth, I think it’s growing up. I think it’s not just a fandom, it’s like who you are and what your being is about, what your growing up is about. And just being a part of it, man.”
