Hope goofy didn't touch the cup. Still a shot he wins one

Goofy still holding out for the big contract

A hockey player wearing a Mickey hockey jersey walking around scorching Orlando is hilarious and unhinged at the same time.

I was at Disney during the Finals. I was eating next to a guy wearing his Panthers jersey. Shit was feels like 100+ and the dude looked like he was completely comfy

We were born in the heat, molded by it.

It’s actually not bad today, yes it’s in the 80s but it’s been overcast all day thankfully. . . Can believe my luck that I was in EPCOT last weekend and Animal kingdom today,

u/Rikplaysbass BOS - NHL 16h ago

We almost went to AK today to see if the Crush magnet was still available but went Epcot because it’s our favorite of the parks. Glad we did.

7

u/hurtfulproduct FLA - NHL 15h ago

I so would have traded the magnet for seeing the freaking Stanley Cup at EPCOT, lol

But FYI, the magnets are still/back “in stock”, I think they ran out not long ago but they have more in for the time being

Thanks for the heads up homie.

u/HockeyGoalieEh NYI - NHL 11h ago

I also went to Animal Kingdom instead of EOCOT today. 😭

E-rod but he now plays for the mouse

He has to be our most wholesome player on the team! His kids are at every home game for warm ups and out of all the players he lives the farthest from the arena (no I am not a psycho, he lives a couple houses away from my coworker). Such a cute hockey family!

8

u/seclusivebeauty COL - NHL 14h ago

Every game during warmups, he would pass each of his kids a puck through the hole in the glass for photographers. It was the cutest thing. 😄 They must have a million pucks at home!

6

u/Emotional_Match8169 FLA - NHL 14h ago

Aww- yes he still does that in Florida too. For a while he was trying to flip the puck through the hole with his stick. Sometimes it made it and sometimes it doesn’t!

he lives the farthest from the arena (no I am not a psycho, he lives a couple houses away from my coworker)

Yeah, but how do you know where all the other players live, Mr. Not-a-psycho?

1

u/Emotional_Match8169 FLA - NHL 3h ago

Well it’s an assumption based on the fact that fans down here know most of the team drives golf carts to the practice facility.

u/miscs75 18h ago

He might be the most likable guy in the league since Patrice Bergeron and before Patrice Bergeron we had Frans Nielsen.

Dang they should be in front of Canada with maple popcorn 🐱🐀

They went to Canada - just talked to Gavin at the bar

u/MikeUSMan 16h ago

For the record, gavin is a maple leafs fan, and hates Austin Matthew’s. Thinks the leafs will trade for mcJesus. I like his enthusiasm. #GoodKid #LocalKid

u/KllrDav 20h ago

Surprised they didn’t make him buy an overpriced commemorative cup in the park

Surprisingly out of all the Central Florida amusement parks Disney is most reasonable for food and drink. Less than a hockey game, more than the real world. Seaworld prices are bonkers but the ticket is damn near half the price.

5

u/acart005 FLA - NHL 13h ago

Idk what you are doing wrong at Seaworld for drinks, they do OK there.  Food, yes the food is stupid unless they are doing the Not Food and Wine thing.

3

u/Rikplaysbass BOS - NHL 13h ago

Not food and wine thing was last time I went and the serving size/quality was not up to anything near Disney. I say this as a passholder to both.

2

u/acart005 FLA - NHL 13h ago

Maybe its because my expectations are sky high for Food and Wine pricing but I've always found the Seaworld one to be reasonable.  Got a lobster roll for one hole punch last year.

Then again I also appreciate how cheap the Seaworld pass is.  Its like, a day as Disney.

2

u/Flanninpud 20h ago

Yeah. The ticket prices are outrageous and they just nickel and dime you with lightning lane, but the food and drink prices aren’t that bad. Especially in Epcot there’s some tasty food to be had too.

Last time I went to a lightning game it was like $22 after tax and tip for a large can of yeungling

1

u/Rikplaysbass BOS - NHL 19h ago

I spent $11 on the yeungling I was drinking when I posted this. lol

u/greg19735 CAR - NHL 19h ago

Special deal for this cup. but no refills. and only 16 oz.

5

u/MartyCool403 CGY - NHL 20h ago

The cup has seen worse than the orange side of Mission: SPACE. It'll survive.

u/PrimasChickenTacos BUF - NHL 18h ago

How’s Goofy’s defensive acumen? Asking for a team of offense-first defensemen.

Also, that Mickey sweater is tight.

6

u/Rikplaysbass BOS - NHL 14h ago

I have one and would in no way wear one at this temp. He took it off shortly after and signed it. From what we were told a kid was a make a wish kid and E-Rod being the absolutely dude he is made it happen and handed it off to the kid.

2

u/PrimasChickenTacos BUF - NHL 13h ago

Very cool

5

u/jollyrog8 PIT - NHL 20h ago

Ahh, I've never had interest in or been to Disney, so I've always wondered why my phone autocorrects the name of our utilities company in Edmonton (Epcor) to Epcot. Today I finally learned what it was.

u/miscs75 18h ago

He wanted to join all of his teammates in their home countries but couldn’t so he went this route. What a wholesome guy.

u/MikeUSMan 16h ago

Anyone know where it is now?

u/Rikplaysbass BOS - NHL 16h ago

Unfortunately not. I saw it was in France a hour or two ago but that’s the last I heard of it.

u/Realdoomer4life DET - NHL 15h ago

Is that Bertino or Ferguson?

u/Responsible_Bar3957 WSH - NHL 14h ago

If I was in Disney and I had Rodriguez’s, The NHL’s and the Panthers organization's permission I would totally have Goofy wear a Lightning jersey
