OK, SO: because Certain Parties (namely @gwenthing, @freyamarske, @samhawkewrites and @_alexrowland) have requested it, here is a continuation of yesterday's thread of Beautiful Hockey Men (Many Of Whom Are European) Smiling.

FIRST OFF, because I cannot believe I omitted him yesterday, is Pekka Rinne (Finnish), goalie for the Nashville Predators. He has a very excellent smile.

Pekka is a good and handsome man who sometimes doesn't wear shirts for photos, or who poses with an armful of puppies.

Pekka also has a, uh... very special relationship with his fellow Nashville Goalie, Juuse Saros, who is also Finnish. Juuse grew up idolising Pekka, who incidentally has the same first name as his literal actual dad, and they, uh... refer to each other as daddy and son a lot.

Juuse also has a picture of Pekka, wearing the tux he had on when he won the Vezina Trophy (the best goalie award, basically) on the side of his goalie mask.

Here is an extremely important gifset of Pekka and Juuse talking about how Pekka is his daddy, from a video interview when they were living together. https://pkariya.tumblr.com/post/156998351189/juuse-saros-and-heroroommate-pekka-rinne

Additionally, here is a gifset of Juuse holding an armful of puppies. https://glovesdropped.tumblr.com/post/167744206405/cute-preds-cute-puppies

Next up, we have my personal fave ray of sunshine, Tyson Barrie, who played for the Avs for most of his career but is now with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Here he is at the garden party he had for his last birthday. His doggo Ralph is the doodle on the right.

Here are some Tyson photos demonstrating his fashion sense. One time he sang Celine Dion on camera for an Avs social media video. In another, he talked about getting catfished on the internet once. He is perfect and I love him.

Here is Tyson with curly hair, because reasons.

And here is Tyson smiling with Ralph, who is also perfect. https://gabelandeskog.tumblr.com/post/613080174471348224/arkellsmusics-instagram-live-ft-tyson-barrie

Returning to Europe, here is Kevin Fiala (Swiss-Czech) of the Minnesota Wild. His girlfriend Jessica posts a lot of Quality Instagram Content of the two of them and their tiny fluffy dog.

Here is Kevin, who is often nicnamed Fifi, doing a lil' dance while grilling during the summer. https://66.media.tumblr.com/7776f85a6c70e6833880e15a74227141/tumblr_punth01FXo1qh5f04o3_250.gifv

Moving to another Czech player, here is Jakub Vrana of the Washington Capitals, a pure perfect sunshine boy who drank All Of The Alcohols when the Caps won the cup a couple years back.

Here is Jakub smiling and dancing during his recent hot girl summer. https://kahunakubalik.tumblr.com/post/186354836192/oh-god-lord
