So, you thought Braden Holtby had it tough, keeping up a .935 save percentage and a 1.95 goals-against average in the Stanley Cup Playoffs while carrying the hopes and dreams of Caps fans on his shoulders?
As it turns out, you probably didn't know the half of it: the 22-year-old Holtby was doing all this with a pregnant fiancee.
And there it is... MT @jaydemi10 Congrats to my bestie @bbodnar and @Holts170 on the arrival of their little Benjamin Hunter Holtby.

The "@bbodnar" referenced would be Brandi Bodnar, a good Canadian girl who's been standing by her man during these stressful playoff moments. Here she is after Game 5 of the Boston series.
@Holts170 I love you babe, but these games are getting too intense for your very preggy fiancee #contractions #preggyproblems

Does anybody else notice the appropriateness of the middle name? Benjamin Hunter Holtby? Hmmmm ...
