The 2018 NHL All-Star Game isn’t the only big event going down in Tampa this weekend. There’s also the Gasparilla Pirate Festival, an annual celebration in which people dressed as pirates overrun the city to listen to live music and look for treasure and what have you.
Erik Karlsson proves at NHL All-Star Weekend that he’d make a fantastic pirate
Victor Hedman also dressed up, but he doesn’t quite have the look down.
Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman may be at Amalie Arena for the Skills Competition on Saturday night, but their entrance showed they’re ready to party with the mateys afterwards.
We gotta say, Karlsson really has this look down pat. He could be an extra in Hook or something.
Look at his impressive form with a sword:
Karlsson has continued wearing the pirate hat on the ice during the Skills Competition. Sadly, we didn’t get the full outfit.
Hedman won’t be participating due to an injury, so he’s instead filling the role of “assistant to the equipment manager,” which is more Dwight Schrute than Blackbeard.
