49ers TE George Kittle Turned Heads for What He Did During NHL Game

San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle has been making the most out of the NFL offseason. The Niners had a forgettable campaign, finishing with a 6-11 record and missing out on the playoffs for the first time in four years.

Kittle has since been spending a lot of time with his wife, Claire Kittle, now that the six-time Pro Bowler’s schedule has opened up significantly. On Thursday night, the couple was spotted in Nashville, Tennessee attending an NHL game between the Nashville Predators and the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Niners TE was one of the biggest stars at Bridgestone Arena for the game, which is why the broadcast acknowledged his presence at one point in the contest. Kittle made sure to make the most of his time in the spotlight.

Kittle decided to chug his beer the moment the camera was on him. Incidentally, the Predators ended up scoring a goal at the same time the two-time All-Pro TE was guzzling down his beverage.

The perfect timing of Kittle’s “assist” turned heads on social media.

“We love a Kittle moment ♥️💛♥️” a fan on Instagram wrote.

“Freaking awesome lol,” said another.

“a multi sport athlete 😂😂” reacted sports merchandise brand Fanatics.

“Perfect timing 😂😂😂” remarked a user.

“The assist of the year @predsnhl,” a supporter said.

“For the fellas,” Kittle commented.

George and Claire Kittle, who herself shared a series of posts in her Instagram Stories showing what looked like a fun night at the game, are close friends with Predators winger Filip Forsberg and his wife Erin Alvey.

The Kittles also have a house in Nashville, which explains their affinity to the Predators, who won Thursday’s game, 3-2, in overtime.
