Kid requests pucks in two languages at world juniors, is a genius
Some people just have life figured out. A few earlier than others.
Take, for instance, this young and inspiring fan attending Saturday’s Denmark-Switzerland World Junior clash, who showed extreme resourcefulness in his quest for the perfect sentimental biscuit.
The kid — appearing to still be in the single digits age-wise but with superior intellect compared to you or I — requested a puck from each squad in both Danish and German (the latter national language of the Swiss).
After a Denmark skater flipped him a biscuit, he bolted to the other side of the rink, flipped his sign over, and obtained one from a Switzerland player soon after.

Not only is this little dude’s grind on another level, he’s also a master linguist, apparently, and has educated the masses by explaining how to request a puck in two different European languages. This kid is a five-tool player.
I have no idea if all the spelling and grammar is correct here, and I’m not going to check because I’m lazy and it’s also irrelevant — the kid succeeded, which is all that really matters.
Truly a genius, this kid is easily one of the greatest in-rink puck collectors of our time.
