The Bachelorette: World Cup of Hockey edition
Who do you think would win The Bachelorette: World Cup of Hockey?
Although the Distillery District's fan village in Toronto welcomed all World Cup of Hockey teams, there seemed to be only one team that fans were talking about.
Team Sweden swept Twitter fans off their feet looking dapper in full suits and ties.
No surprise here. Team Sweden looks impeccable. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WCH2016?src=hash">#WCH2016</a> <a href="https://t.co/WOR9ohSBtB">pic.twitter.com/WOR9ohSBtB</a>
—@NHLSome were so smitten by the team's appearance they could have easily mistaken the professional hockey team for "The Bachelorette" candidates.
Team Sweden of an episode of the Bachelorette?! Hard to tell! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WorldCupOfHockey?src=hash">#WorldCupOfHockey</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/pepsi?src=hash">#pepsi</a> <a href="https://t.co/niBdWbvhsq">pic.twitter.com/niBdWbvhsq</a>
—@RhondafromNFLDWhich got us thinking: what would "The Bachelorette: World Cup of Hockey edition" look like? Although some of these candidates are already married, here's a hypothetical list of our roster for our version of "The Bachelorette:"
1. Team USA: T.J. Oshie "The Nice Guy"
No surprise that fan favourite T.J. Oshie wins the "nice guy" vote.
Things Americans love:<br><br>1. Collegiate and professional Football <br>2. Harambe<br>3. TJ Oshie
—@Goudreau_09Cuddling with his fur-baby? He may even be in the running for the first rose.
Excited to get home to <a href="https://twitter.com/laurencosgrove3">@laurencosgrove3</a> and this little maniac. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bopo?src=hash">#bopo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/lillybellacharlie?src=hash">#lillybellacharlie</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/USA?src=hash">#USA</a> <a href="http://t.co/RMSAiGRUEc">pic.twitter.com/RMSAiGRUEc</a>
—@TJOshie772. Team Finland: Leo Komarov "The Bad Boy"
Remember when Leo Komarov faced a hefty fine of $40,000 for two traffic violations and two instances of fraud in Finland? These headlines from July 2014 earn him top spot in our "bad boy" column.
In Finland, traffic penalties are paid out based on a person's income... Komarov, booked on speeding, initially lied about about his income.
—@TheFourthPeriod3. Team Canada: Brent Burns "The Quirky One"
Who wouldn't want Brent Burns on a reality TV show? With the perfect combination of peculiar and cool traits, the Canadian could be the show's fan favourite.
We took <a href="https://twitter.com/Burnzie88">@Burnzie88</a> to his hometown rink and gave a young team a "revolutionary" surprise! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RBZRevolution?src=hash">#RBZRevolution</a><a href="https://t.co/T1N0EmRCOE">https://t.co/T1N0EmRCOE</a>
—@CCMHockey4. Team Russia: Alexander Ovechkin "The Comedian"
There's no explanation needed for this one. It's safe to say there are many great memories of Ovie that have made us laugh.
Sick Mo!!!! Hahaha <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TeamGillette?src=hash">#TeamGillette</a> <a href="http://t.co/8a2NQXZmaD">pic.twitter.com/8a2NQXZmaD</a>
—@ovi85. Team North America: Sean Monahan "The Boring One"
Sean Monahan was on North America's initial roster but he wasn't given a rose and was sent back. Maybe he was deemed "too boring" to play.
Just kidding, but maybe there's some truth to that theory based on this Twitter account:
Sometimes I change it up and have fruit for breakfast but today I'm having toast.
—@boringmonahanThe New England Patriots played football yesterday but they didn't win.
—@boringmonahan6. Team Sweden: Henrik Lundqvist "Mr. Perfect"
Hanging out with royalty and doing work for charity. Need we say more?
Honored to receive the Victoria Scholarship from the Swedish Crown Princess. Me and my family are very greatful. 🇸🇪 <a href="https://t.co/vA2lkv4qeI">pic.twitter.com/vA2lkv4qeI</a>
—@HLundqvist30Honored to be a part of this special day in support of an amazing cause. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/makingtrades?src=hash">#makingtrades</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CFCharityDay?src=hash">#CFCharityDay</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BGCCharityDay?src=hash">#BGCCharityDay</a> <a href="http://t.co/MbfxqLAHJX">pic.twitter.com/MbfxqLAHJX</a>
—@HLundqvist307. Team Czech Republic: Michal Jordan "The Poser"
There's only one Michael Jordan in the world and Michal Jordan, you ain't foolin us.
Hurricanes' Michal Jordan is tired of the comparisons to Michael Jordan and understandably so- <a href="http://t.co/qRitRb40el">http://t.co/qRitRb40el</a> <a href="http://t.co/keGAm27vY4">pic.twitter.com/keGAm27vY4</a>
—@TheDailyTraub8. Team Europe: Anze Kopitar "The Small Town Boy"
Everyone loves a small-town boy and Anze Kopitar fits the description perfectly after helping the L.A. Kings win their first ever Stanley Cup and bringing it home to Slovenia.
