Joe Pavelski Proves Hockey Players Are The Best Athletes At Golf Tournament
Joe Pavelski. Captain of the San Jose Sharks. Captain for Team USA at the World Cup of Hockey. A University of Wisconsin product and just so happens to be the best athlete on the planet. Don’t believe me? Well let’s just watch the clinic he put on at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament this past weekend.
For starters, his golf game was flawless.
Couple of birdies and smooth sailing everywhere else. And from what I’ve heard, somebody tried to run him over with a golf cart when he was heading into the back 9 but he just lowered his shoulder and knocked the golf cart on its ass. But hockey players being good at golf isn’t anything out of the ordinary. The two usually go hand-in-hand together. Even Whitney can string together a few nice holes out on the links. Not a big deal.
But that’s just the start of it. It was a celebrity golf tournament and there were other professional athletes in the mix. One of them being Steph Curry. Maybe you’ve heard of him before. Well here’s Captain America drilling a 3 right in Steph’s stupid face.
Probably had his mouthpiece fully in his mouth as well because he’s not trying to stand out and make everything about himself. But yeah, turns out Joe Pavelski is the long-lost Splash brother.
And the man’s got a fucking boot on him as well.
Murder Leg Pavelski.
So just to to wrap this all up, Joe Pavelski could play on the PGA Tour. He could be a kicker in the NFL. And he could be an elite-level point guard in the NBA. But he chose to play hockey just for the love of the game so he settled for life in the NHL. I’m sorry but can Kyrie even ice skate? Can Robbie Gould go coast-to-coast and finish off with a nice little forehand-backhand roof job on the tendy? Can Rickie Fowler get Hockey Tough enough to go into the corners and battle against a guy like Zdeno Chara for a loose puck? The answer to all of those questions is no.
I’m just stating the facts here, people.
