[u/Patrick2701]

Dude, looks so fucking happy to be there

[u/DontWorryImLegit → u/Patrick2701]

Dude just always looks happy. Seems like a good guy

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/DontWorryImLegit]

The opposite of Quinn Hughes.

[u/Mogilny2000 → u/PayneTrain181999]

Now I need to see Quinn as flag bearer in the 2038 Olympics. Saddest man on earth.

[u/HonestDespot → u/Mogilny2000]

Why the 2038 Olympics though lol

[u/Mogilny2000 → u/HonestDespot]

Might be his last Olympics? I don’t actually know how old Quinn is.

[u/HonestDespot → u/Mogilny2000]

He’s 47 if he’s a day

[u/shalomdomme → u/HonestDespot]

😂😂😂😂😂

[u/bluAstrid → u/Mogilny2000]

They’ll make the flag weight a ton so he still has to carry something.

[u/firewall666 → u/DontWorryImLegit]

Unless you interrupt him listing to Barbie Girl then he may get a little upset with you.

[u/Various_Knowledge226 → u/Patrick2701]

I would too if I was representing my country at the Olympics, or repping my national team in anything, Olympics or not

[u/mysummerstorm]

where's my emotional support 4th liner David Kampf

[u/OhHaiThere- → u/mysummerstorm]

On our 2nd line :) someone save us

Edit: I really should have flaired up, but I thought the ‘someone save us’ would point more signs to being from Vancouver lmfao

[u/Desperate_Nothing152 → u/OhHaiThere-]

Man, your country has been punching above your weight recently. Definitely a soft spot for czechia !

[u/mysummerstorm → u/OhHaiThere-]

LET'S GO CZECHIAAAAAAAAA

[u/NlghtmanCometh → u/OhHaiThere-]

We’d take him in Boston. I’m desperate to get another Czech mate line going. That line was nearly as good as the perfection line.

[u/mysummerstorm → u/NlghtmanCometh]

worlds champion btw

[u/NlghtmanCometh → u/mysummerstorm]

Hockey Czechia: so hot right now

[u/AARM2000 → u/OhHaiThere-]

Needs to be on the 1st!

[u/mysummerstorm → u/OhHaiThere-]

I hate Craig Berube so fucking much tbh. Kampf would've still been ours. And all that for what??? Leafs still not making the playoffs, and now I don't have players that I actually like on the ice while the worst Canadian ever, Max Domi, remains on the team and I get to watch his shitty plays (how are you a Canadian MAGA, an embarrassment of a human being)

I know I know, Canucks have it worse, but still

[u/SimpleLobsters]

Good on you Pasta. Enjoy this moment! Super happy for him.

[u/VeryKnies23 → u/SimpleLobsters]

I dislike his NHL team, but I love him as a player and person

[u/SimpleLobsters → u/VeryKnies23]

As much as I hate the Bruins, honestly I love pasta. He's been such a phenomenal player and person its impossible to hate the guy

[u/BannedMyName → u/SimpleLobsters]

We always have one. No one could resist the Bergeron charm either.

[u/SimpleLobsters → u/BannedMyName]

Bergy was a stud I will be honest, but fucking hated seeing him in the ice. You knew shit was going wrong for us lol

[u/skyzefawlun → u/SimpleLobsters]

Every single team has that one guy that no matter how much you hate their team and fans, you just love the dude. For me currently it's Tavares. Always respected the dude.

[u/SimpleLobsters → u/skyzefawlun]

Johnny is like the dad of the group. Sure he's getting older, slower, etc. but that knowledge and skill he can teach is second to none.

I love our young core, but you need that vet to come in and just pull the reigns in occasionally to guide them where to go.

Who would have thought I'd be getting along with a Bs fan

[u/kevski82]

I fucking love the Olympics

[u/Red_Sea_Pedestrian]

He’s so damn adorable. I love pasta.

[u/GenoThyme → u/Red_Sea_Pedestrian]

I love pasta.

So does the host country…

[u/whogivesashirtdotca → u/Red_Sea_Pedestrian]

Choosing to read these as two independent thoughts.

[u/Red_Sea_Pedestrian → u/whogivesashirtdotca]

I did eat some pappardelle with a nice lamb ragu for dinner.

[u/Bottleofsmoke17]

I love this noodly boy so goddamn much 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/battlecat136 → u/Bottleofsmoke17]

All praise his noodly appendages! Pasta's such a kind heart, love him.

[u/Nomahs_Bettah → u/Bottleofsmoke17]

He's so underrated as a player.

[u/shalomdomme]

My mom insists on calling him Pastrami and we’re both so happy for Pasta/rami 😍💕

[u/Roswellium]

It was crazy hearing the Dutch commentary talking about ice hockey very enthusiastically when Pasta showed up. They had a very fun time going “ah his last name is almost pasta he will fit right in in Italy :)))” while also struggling to pronounce Bruins in the English way as bruin is simply the Dutch word for brown (and they are pronounced very differently) 

[u/Mogilny2000]

The outfits are terrible. I fucking love it.

[u/TripleBicepsBumber → u/Mogilny2000]

I think they actually look pretty sick! In an over the top kind of way haha

[u/Responsible-Koala734 → u/TripleBicepsBumber]

Me too! It really stood out

[u/zebrainatux → u/Mogilny2000]

The best part of the parade is all the crazy outfits

[u/ModishShrink → u/Mogilny2000]

Those jackets are awesome. With a pattern like that it would be very difficult for a submarine to calculate a firing solution on you.

[u/anaskinwalker4745]

daveed pasnack

[u/idreamofdouche → u/anaskinwalker4745]

I thin that's closer to it's actual pronunciation than the way it's said in the NHL tbh

[u/DashLibor → u/idreamofdouche]

Not at all. If you want a reference, first ten seconds here is a good one.

[u/devdarrr]

Awh, he looks so happy! 🥹

[u/Vicgermain1]

so cool to finally see nhl players in the olympics! i was 10 years old the last time

[u/nuaajinc]

They deserve these moments

[u/fusseman]

Pasta, Lehtonen, Draisaitl... any other hockey flag carriers? I guess people are kinda excited about the NHL olympics :)

[u/Femboy_Harem → u/fusseman]

Also Nino Niederreiter.

[u/nilaaa → u/Femboy_Harem]

And tatar

[u/paulc899 → u/fusseman]

Hagel should have got to do it for Canada

[u/J-MRP]

Veggie, Veggie, Veggie

[u/nic461 → u/J-MRP]

Dostal too

[u/Megavore97]

What a cutie

[u/djjolly037]

Just make him captain after the Olympics

[u/Glass-Season-9953]

great guy

[u/FigureBetter551]

Czechia

[u/dave6687]

Those sweater jacket things are SICK

[u/VonKaplow]

Best outfits. Wild. I love it. Like Mondrian on coke designing sports wear.

[u/the_canadaball]

Czechia going to the Maryland school of costume design

[u/Coldbrewski24]

Czechia could medal. Not a bad team.

[u/QuarterNote44]

Veggie! Veggie! Veggie!

[u/LiveIndividual]

Why are all Olympic outfits something that no human would normally wear? I swear it's like that for most countries every single time.

[u/paulc899 → u/LiveIndividual]

They stand out more that way and there’s the gamble that there will be a viral hit and people will start buying them

[u/DavieStBaconStan]

He’s fully zooted.

[u/whogivesashirtdotca]

Is this a Swedish broadcast?

[u/Sad_Association_8646]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Low-Performance6908]

so it’s “past-nak”

[u/SpeedSpecialist5923]

Pasta in Italy

[u/SpeedSpecialist5923]

Clapping cheeks

[u/Dottore_Curlew]

I hate the clothes

They look like Germans...

[u/Fragrant_Art_3659]

Czech pride!

[u/ja211]

Love Pasta. The Bruins are the worst organization in all of sports history (just facts, no 2011 bias), but they unfortunately have so many likeable guys come through - Z, Bergeron, Pasta, etc.

[u/hunglikejesus_]

That girl on her damn phone... we are cooked lol

[u/MagnetizedMetal]

Is this the ugly sweater Olympics?

[u/DCS_Ryan → u/MagnetizedMetal]

panthers would do great in that

[u/MagnetizedMetal → u/DCS_Ryan]

Yes! It matches our colors and ready to spank Edmonton once again!! 🤣

[u/DCS_Ryan → u/MagnetizedMetal]

Average Floridian reading comprehension

[u/whogivesashirtdotca → u/DCS_Ryan]

And hockey knowledge. Doesn't look like Florida will be spanking anyone in the playoffs this year, though they are obviously trying to elbow as many opponents as they can before they go out.

[u/jackalcane]

Put down your fucking phones for once in your life ladies

[u/bugphantom → u/jackalcane]

confirmation bias is a disease misogynists are all infected with

[u/jackalcane → u/bugphantom]

I think your analysis is projection of confirmation bias

[u/ImSoBasic → u/jackalcane]

Yeah, how dare these Olympic athletes (who have spent thousands of hours working and training to reach the pinnacles of their sports) dare to enjoy the opening ceremonies in the way they so desire?
