Hawks United Center staff trolls Beauvillier in his quest for Anna Kendrick

The New York Islanders are visiting the Blackhawks in Chicago tonight and while fans were thrilled to see goalie Robin Lehner face off against his former team, the focus quickly shifted to his former teammate Anthony Beauvillier.

As you know, the 22-year-old has gone viral since Christmas when he took to Twitter to flirt with famous actress Anna Kendrick. Beauvillier use Twitter to get in touch with one of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities by randomly saying hi to her (yes, that was it), and quickly went viral for it.

Many people decided that Beauvillier’s approach might have been too tentative, and therefore became his wingman to help his case. Even former NHLer and teammate Bruno Gervais came out strong with a huge assist.

“Remember Beau when you saved me from a burning building, cooked me a 7 course meal and taught me 8 languages,”former Islander defenseman Gervais replied. “That was a great day.”

Finally on Friday, Kendrick replied to Beauvillier with appreciation for his heroism and the brotherhood that was created from his first tweet in hopes to pursue her. She admits that she’s been looking at the tweet and how viral it has become in the past two days.

It was not going to end there of course. On Friday in Chicago, the United Center staff decided to troll Beauvillier by playing Kendrick’s songs every time he jumped on the ice for a shift.

Before his first shirt, the staff played the “cup song” by Anna Kendrick. Then for his second, they cued “Get Back Up Again” from the Trolls soundtrack..
