leon is the most boring girlie in the nhl and there's so many of them and yet

his absolute loserness is whats saving him. if he just went out there and scored goals and gave generic press answers I would not care about him at all!!! nobody would. but instead he goes out there and scores goals and also absolutely embarrasses himself bonking into the side of the penalty box, faceplanting trying to score an eng, missing every shootout attempt he takes, almost knocking himself out trying to check an opposing player, doing random petty shit for no reason (these are all off the top of my head things he has done just within this season). and on top of that he gives the most freak press statements imaginable constantly!!! he's trying and failing to be funny he's going off on the media he's accidentally starting beef with an opposing player that the press will talk about for weeks and the tumblr girlies will talk about forever (the consequences "I would probably get off the ice" has had on the hockeyblr ecosystem are vast and incalculable). Its truly impressive how despite being one of the most talented players in the nhl right now (and probably ever) he still manages to be one of the most awkward embarrassing uncool people I have ever seen. he has never handled anything with grace in his entire life. I could write essays about this. dissertations even. I'm just so incredibly abnormally obsessed with this random ass guy
