oooh PLEASE do a series about owen and kent in the background of photos. Not enough of them

never have two dudes been more talented at catching my interest in the background of pictures. i have already expounded at length about how much i love kent and owen in the background of this picture, so let's visit another pic from the same session:

so much to love here! the way that kent is obviously flexing but trying to make it look like he's not! kent's penchant for shapeless hats, or else his superpower of making a hat look shapeless the instant it touches his head! the innocently pleased expression on owen's face as he looks over at nolan moyle in his adult diaper! owen's stupidly long arms draped over erik and brendan!

here was my thought process upon first seeing this picture:

ok there's gotta be other umich guys here. oh yeah, there's kent. no wait that's luke, why do they always look so much alike? but that's definitely kent behind him, that's his shapeless snapback, i can't believe i can recognize his smirk on only one quarter of his face. ok, if that's kent then owen has to be nearby... yup, there he is, that tall motherfucker.

(huge props to the person who reblogged this photo and tagged it something like #where's waldo wolverines)

ok here's one of my absolute favorite background kent and owen pictures:

LOOK AT THEM. look at owen's highwater pants! (owen power ankle content when???) look at kent's bonkers shirt! (look at kent wearing the same hat in every single one of these photos.) if you review the entire series it is apparent that kent is holding onto the VGK jersey he just grabbed from the table of draft night options for brendan to put on. helpful! ok let's have one more that's kind of cheating bc they're not really in the background, but kent's outfit deserves to be appreciated in full:

it's sweet that kent tried to crouch down a little so he wouldn't block owen. sweetie you really didn't have to.
