Story of his whole career

[u/Emotional_Match8169 → u/heysmilinstrange]

He’s just there to celebrate Matthew’s surgery which means he doesn’t have to get traded.

[u/MeowPalace]

What’s that thing around his waist? Is it a fanny pack or something related to the surgery?

[u/catsgr8rthanspoonies → u/MeowPalace]

Hip brace. It’s hard to see because his shorts are black but it extends down his leg.

[u/MeowPalace → u/catsgr8rthanspoonies]

Ahhh, gotcha! I see it now, that’s on me for not looking more closely. Thx!

[u/Far_Out_6and_2 → u/MeowPalace]

Just a fanny pack i think cause he is using crutches

[u/AddictiveInterwebs]

Loving how in traditional Floridian fashion, their partners are all dressed up and they all look like schlubs

[u/babypointblank → u/AddictiveInterwebs]

None of them are wearing swim trunks or flip flops. That’s Florida semi formal right there.

[u/AddictiveInterwebs → u/babypointblank]

Good point, no toes out, they're practically in cocktail attire.

[u/FialaIsMyDad → u/AddictiveInterwebs]

Thats most straight men in general

[u/AddictiveInterwebs → u/FialaIsMyDad]

The disparity down here is really bad, my dude. You'll see a girl in a cocktail dress with 5 inch heels, head to toe designer brands, perfect hair and makeup, and she'll be on the arm of some dude in shorts, flip flops and a Tommy Bahama button down.

It's not just "straight guys can't dress," it's that women down here are often over the top fancy while their dates dress like they've just rolled out of bed and put on whatever smells cleanest.

You Jealous?

[u/MoonShotDontStop]

“Matthew Tkachuk is having surgery, that means I won’t have to hear about him for awhile! Nice!” -me a day ago

[u/Prideofmexico]

Saw Matthew Tkachuk mentioned so I think I’m going to find some arbitrary reason to get upset about this

[u/LivermoreP1]

Looks like Matthew’s not the only one who has had some surgery.

[u/Upbeat_Hat_8350 → u/LivermoreP1]

You’re right. Stanley C. Panther had a face lift.

[u/MiserableDucky → u/Upbeat_Hat_8350]

Butt lift too. Stanley is single and ready to mingle

[u/johnnyfuckingmarr → u/Upbeat_Hat_8350]

Tasteful though.

[u/TheBigKevbowski]

3-1 blonde to brunette ratio. Surprised it’s not a sweep, 4-0 blondes

[u/rrrrrrue]

Glad he took the surgery!

[u/Accomplished-One7476]

the background looks like decorations for a prom

[u/barryfreshwater]

these really seem like the most chud of chuds in the league

[u/dustblown]

I thought the surgery was for his shoulder.

[u/0-90195 → u/dustblown]

If you’re serious, the surgery was to resolve both his adductor having separated from the bone and a sports hernia.

[u/pluralsight24 → u/0-90195]

Makes you wonder how much horse tranquilizer the Panthers used on Tkachuk during that Cup Run

[u/0-90195 → u/pluralsight24]

I can’t even imagine. He was also probably in pain a lot on top of the pain meds. Honestly hockey players are way tougher than I could ever be… for better or for worse.

[u/After-Imagination947 → u/dustblown]

Holding up the cup for 2 years in a row takes a strain on your shoulders

[u/Effective-Kale1358]

He looks like Sweet Dee, the aluminum monster

[u/Mr7three2]

Why is she touching the Cup?

[u/0-90195 → u/Mr7three2]

Yeah she’s really risking her chances to win it now!
