I tried this post last year and people seemed to really like it, so here’s the second edition!
Adam Clendening – #4
Pretty solid chirps from Clendening directed at the master himself, Paul Bissonnette.
Dan Girardi – #5
Say whatever you want about G, it’s pretty clear he’s a hit in the room. And don’t forget about Landon!
Dylan McIlrath – #6
“My family caught wind that I like to cook, and they thought I was Chef Boyardee.” If there are two things McIlrath does well, it’s fight and throwback Thursday.
Kevin Klein – #8
I completely forgot about this – just too good.
J.T. Miller – #10
Miller has had some truly unbelievable hair through the years.
Kevin Hayes – #13
Dab pushups, Rihanna karaoke and Mugatu are just some of the things you can expect to see on Hayes’ Instagram.
Marc Staal – #18
So much grit in this photo. Also, just a reminder that #staalsarebrothers.
Jesper Fast – #19 and Oscar Lindberg – #24
Clear edge to Oscar.
Chris Kreider – #20
And don’t forget that time he jumped out of a pool!
Derek Stepan – #21
Great form, Step – who also might have a future behind the mic.
Nick Holden – #22
Fast forward to 2:45 to see the hijinks with Gabriel Landeskog begin – great composure by Holden. He also takes a mean selfie.
Jimmy Vesey – #26
The @NHL or a senior year at @Harvard_Hockey? For @19Vesey, the choice was rather simple. https://t.co/NXHbTSjYH5 pic.twitter.com/csS51rxeNi

The piece Vesey “wrote” for The Player’s Tribune” last season about his love for Harvard was terrific, but I’m also very partial to his top-notch Harry Potter humor.
Ryan McDonagh – #27
“Squirrel!”
Henrik Lundqvist – #30
The unflappable Hank’s one mess-up. He even looks like a million bucks in a ridiculous costume. But for crying out loud, two hands, please.
Antti Raanta – #32
Raanta’s brilliant Karate Kid cameo in the Hawks’ holiday video a few years back.
Mats Zuccarello – #36
So happy he was tall enough to get on the ride @zuccarello36 pic.twitter.com/wWXQYmZzjl
— Kevin Hayes (@KevinPHayes12) January 7, 2015
It was impossible to narrow down all of Zucc’s brilliance, so here are some more: Zucc as a dolphin, as a kid with Peter Forsberg, with the best hairdo ever, as a Ninja Turtle, hugging his teammates, showing off his favorite stuffed animal and so on.
Michael Grabner – #40
Lets just say we all were young and stupid..I would probably still do it again #goodolddays #memories pic.twitter.com/QOcJZ7sEGr
— Michael Grabner (@grabs40) June 6, 2013
A surprising amount to choose from for Grabner, who made a ton of videos with the NHLPA back in the day, a trick shot challenge vs. Leo Komarov, does a bunch of wild workout routines and rocked a truly ridiculous Movember mustache – but this is one of the greatest draft day photos in recent memory.
Rick Nash – #61
Little Nash was a close runner up.
Brandon Pirri – #73
Great pick up by Vancouver today. Sad to see @rstanton4 go but happy for him. #trenchGuy #gritty #averman pic.twitter.com/u6uzKUYr7D
— brandon pirri (@pirri91) September 30, 2013
Phenomenal Halloween costumes by Ryan Stanton, Pirri, Brandon Bollig and Jeremy Morin. Pirri also rocked the AC Slater costume one year, went horseback riding in Turks and Caicos, posted this unreal selfie and reeled in a huge haul at Walmart. And then there’s this.
Brady Skjei – #76
Used my skills from basic foods to ask @MollieNicoleC to prom! pic.twitter.com/qwJdTXzH
— Brady Skjei (@BradySkjei) April 30, 2012
Like many of his teammates, Skjei has dominated Halloween and #TBT…but this is just adorable. Also, say hello to New York’s top Jacob Trouba recruiter.
Josh Jooris – #86
??? Jooris has also done a couple Cribs style videos – first with Ben Hanowski and Corban Knight while with the Abbotsford Heat, and then with Johnny Gaudreau.
Pavel Buchnevich – #89
Bromance. #NYR pic.twitter.com/XD2PbXN4SV
— Alex Nunn (@aj_ranger) September 28, 2016
The beginnings of a beautiful bromance? Feel like Kreider acting as Buch’s Russian translator may become Pierre McGuire’s favorite random Rangers fact this season.
Mika Zibanejad – #93
DJ Z-Bad in his element! Even as a kid he was too suave.
Alain Vigneault
Still priceless.
