Q: Who do you think will score the first goal tonight? Jack: I’m gonna say… I’m gonna go: Matthew Tkachuk, or Jake Guentzel.
#ohohoho *rolls up sleeves* time to talk about his choices here#because even though it is such a brief pause & such a quick buy for time he DOES think it through before answering#and we know from his ntdp days that he plays it VERY smart with how he sprinkles his sugar!#1. either tkachuk would have been a safe choice. those are quinn’s friends after all!#so it wouldn’t be embarrassing to be proven wrong after the game. because hey! it was just a friendly nod to a buddy right?#so now jack has a choice between matthew or brady#brady was closer to quinn (same age & played/lived together) so why didn’t he pick brady?#well look at the 4 Nations USA roster. Jack is the smallest player by height and weight#so who’s more likely to protect Jack out on the ice?#so Jack picks Matty Tkachuk. sweetens Matty up to him a little bit#now for second choice. Jack has been emphasizing a lot how this line is new and they’ve only had a few days of practice together#so picking a linemate as a nod and way to bring them closer in the line bonding/chemistry sense is next on his agenda#the obvious choice would be auston matthews. duh. goal scoring?#BUT Jack knows what it’s like to be under that kind of pressure. when everyone knows you’re That Guy#and so they expect you to be That Guy#and he doesn’t want to put that kind of pressure on auston to perform#that’s his center and he needs auston to stay cool and keep the line together!#so he picks his other linemate instead. and gives jake guentzel a friendly little nod#and just like that. in his 3 second pause and stall for time. he’s sprinkled the sugar jussssst right#so fascinating#anyway this all goes back to my whole thesis on how jack understands how ALL of it actually a game#and he’s in it to win it!#jack hughes#matthew tkachuk#jake guentzel#auston matthews#brady tkachuk#❤️🤍💙#post
