Wednesday night’s Rivalry Night game between the Capitals and Rangers featured a battle between two of the most accomplished and handsome goaltenders in the league: Henrik Lundqvist and Braden Holtby. Except there was one tiny problem: neither star goalie played.
Instead of battling it out on the ice, the two helmetless goalies exchanged smolders on the bench. One man, a shampoo spokesman, showed off his perfect flow-y hair while the other, nicknamed for his manbeast alter ego, displayed his furry beard.
There’s more.

While Holtby has modeled for DC Modern Magazine, Lundqvist is literally a spokesman for Head and Shoulders.
Shayna, a reporter for Blueshirt Banter, also captured many majestic shots of Hank on the bench.
The best part about Hank getting the night off (besides him getting rest) is that we get helmet-less Henrik shots 👌 pic.twitter.com/w9ckpMmidn

It’s difficult to choose a victor between these two perfect humans so I’m just going to declare all of us the winners.
