Logan Thompson Deletes Social Media To Block Pucks And Haters

You won’t find Golden Knights goalie Logan Thompson on social media anymore. In an effort to improve mental health and avoid distractions, Thompson is getting rid of all social media apps on his phone. Now that’s MY goalie. Thompson continues to find ways to beat the haters.

VIA Las Vegas Review-Journal:

“It’s just smart to get off it,” Thompson said after Friday’s practice. “I’m a fiery person. You look at the first year I had and how much love you get, and you appreciate it. But then you come back the second year, and things just don’t always go your way, even though you’re still a winning team … the amount of DMs (direct messages) and outrageous things athletes get sent to them that we can’t even show to the public, it’s just better to get off it. It’s just a sport. It’s not worth the mental (anguish).”

“It feels great,” he said. “It really does. Obviously, in the back of your mind, if you have a great game, you want to download the app again and look at it. People just have to realize we’re humans, too. Yeah, we’re athletes and playing a sport, but eventually it does take a mental toll on anyone. There’s tons of messages I have that I could never even show the public because they’re so messed up.”

“I don’t think the NHL necessarily does a great job of preparing young guys for all the noise that’s to come, and that’s the biggest thing when you’re a goalie,” he said. “If you’re playing in bigger markets, I can’t imagine how hard it is to be a guy playing in Toronto or somewhere like that. It’s definitely a mental game. That’s the hardest part.”

I’m still owed an apology from this post.

How do you not root for Logan Thompson? What a pro. Thompson, 25, is thriving as the VGK number-one netminder. Thompson has turned into a nice player after initially going undrafted. Currently, Thompson sports a .916 SV% and has made Robin Lehner feel like sort of an afterthought.
