Sven Baertschi just couldn’t resist giving his gender reveal a hockey twist.
The Canucks forward took to the ice with his partner Laura to determine whether or not they’ll be having a boy or a girl. Typically we’ve seen one of the parents lean into a clapper and watch the puck explode into either blue or pink dust. But because Baertschi is a skilled NHLer it only made sense to make the process a bit more challenging.
Instead, the Swiss native had to nail a balloon in the middle of the net. Like there was ever any doubt, Sven drilled the balloon top shelf and quickly discovered he was having a boy.
Just a filthy, filthy snipe.
So we’ve seen some easier reveals but we’ve got to say that Baertschi’s reaction didn’t compare to this dude’s who lost his mind after discovering he was having a boy. Don’t think we’ve seen a guy yardy his stick this high since Ovi after winning the Stanley Cup.
And for some people, the reveals don’t go as well. Swing and a miss!
Just stick to hockey!
Congrats to Sven and Laura on the news.
