#there isn't that much dadkes content so i'm sorry this was a little short :(

[saint-patrice]

so i know a lot of people have opinions on backes and whatnot but would you be willing to do a post on him similar to the carlo and grzelcyk ones?

i will preface this by saying that i have absolutely no knowledge on the david backes ~discourse~ so sorry if this offends but, hell yeah!! i respect backes because he took one look at his surname and saw that it could clearly be pronounced as one syllable, but instead decided that he wanted it to be two. and all power to him

Note: a few people have said they like these posts, so i’m happy to take requests if there’s a particular player you’d like to see! see this page (or hopefully this link should work if you’re on mobile. should.) for details, and a list of ones i’ve done so far :)

(gif via @goaliefight) despite his old man status, he’s very agile - here he is executing a perfect leap over an obstacle in the shape of a minnesota wild player. very impressive on all fronts, he could probably qualify for several olypmic gymnastics teams if he keeps this up

oof. this one hits where it hurts. i have to admit that my actual thirst levels for dadkes are pretty much zero, so my eye is rather drawn to the left of this photo, but these are two excellently dressed, confident-looking men who will take no shit, and i love that

(gif via @cparayko) happy dadkes!! i love that for him. and if you noticed the bottom of this image as i did, there is unfortunately no way to get through this post without occasional mention of that team, as much as i tried :(

i love the backes family zoo!!!! every photo of him with his pups or a kitten adds 1.7 years onto my life, they’re so cute. and his tiny little daughter oh my goodness!!! almost too adorable

i know i said ‘backes family zoo’ but this might be taking it one step too far, don’t you think….?

(gif via @nosefacekillah) he checked him into next fucking week!!!!! simply incredible. 

“fuck bl*es rights” - david backes, 2019

(gif via @bradmarchrad) backes, brooding. i don’t know what about though, suggestions on a postcard?

the bit of him doing the announcement on the plane to china on the behind the b is iconic, massive dad vibes from that. but….backes why. there is no escaping this fucking photo however hard we try and maybe we all just need to embrace that fact :/

this is the very definition of visual dissonance. the colours are giving me a very intense headache, but shoutout to the fact that backes’ very loud purple suitcase matches his equally loud blazer i guess? someone give this man some fashion pointers, i am begging

(gif via @brandoncarlo) david backes decides who in hockey deserves rights, and drew d*ughty sure doesn’t qualify for that list, and here he is proving it by trying to knock what’s left of his teeth out. thanks dad!

stone cold savagery

more puppy content!!! i am insatiable when it comes to pictures of hockey players w dogs

this is so sweet i’m going to cry. the bruins really blessed us with the christmas shopping content and i cannot thank them enough

a goalie pup!!! also how fucking young is he here jesus christ. baby backes

going for the rugged look with some plummage. funny things i’ve seen this captioned include “when your dad makes you come downstairs and eat dinner with the family” 

:^)

the bruins really are just a team full of men with nice noses who suit glasses huh?

and who could forget this iconic text exchange with charlie mcavoy, along with the accompanying video?

thank you anon!!
