Brooks Laich Melts My Heart

Chris Gordon/Russian Machine Never Breaks

So this happened on Monday. I absolutely love when my sports worlds collide, but I especially love it when my hockey world meets my Baltimore world. Being that my hockey team resides in a different city than my own, I love seeing the Caps doing things in Baltimore.

Since Brooks Laich got a Twitter account (go follow him NOW!), we’ve gotten to know some new things about our reigning hottest NHL player. For example, he’s pefected the selfie:

Another fact: Brooks’ dad loved Orioles third baseman Brooks Robinson, so he named his first born son after him. HOW FREAKIN’ COOL??
