9 Jan 2016 WSH vs NYR, Nate Schmidt and Braden Holtby work together to make a crucial save, resulting Ovechkin getting possession and the chance to score his 499th goal.
There are a ton of gifsets of Ovi’s epic celly already, but I really wanted to get in Schmidt’s and Holtby’s big hug too.
Reminder that Braden Holtby and Nate Schmidt are buddies!
On team bus rides, Schmidt began sitting with goaltender Braden Holtby, by nature a quiet teammate and therefore the perfect audience for soliloquies about finance, history or wherever else the mind sprinted to next.
“He’s got that energy to learn,” Holtby said. “He can’t sit still. Usually on the road, we get off a plane and he wants to go for a walk. He wants to see the city. Most guys want to go sleep. He drags me out of the hotel room, gets me out there, see different cities.”
For example?
“The best was Phoenix, when we had a couple days there. He was on cloud nine the whole trip.”
