Sunday Funday: The Killorn-Sustr bromance
An occasional feature about the fun things surrounding the Lightning... presented on a Sunday.
One is a 6-foot-1 Canadian who played hockey at Harvard University and joined the Lightning organization as the third-round pick in the 2007 draft, the other is listed at 6-foot-8, a Czech who played college hockey at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and been in the organization for around four years now after signing as an undrafted free agent.
They are Alex Killorn and Andrej Sustr. Lightning forward and defenseman. Besties judging by social media. Let’s take a closer look...
Killorn was already a grizzly Twitter vet when Sustr the N00b joined...
Hope @Akillorn19 will teach me a thing or two over the next few days. #vet #truepro

. @AndrejSustr you must have the least amount of followers for someone who's verified. #impressive

They’ve documented the many meals they’ve shared together, because what true friendship doesn’t revolve around food?
Definitely have a lot to be thankful for! #team #family #friends 🍗🍗 pic.twitter.com/NlfDVE9DJM

They spend time away from the rink exploring and doing other sporty things, even though Sustr wasn’t ready for/doesn’t know the Heisman pose...
Great day off in NYC with @tjohnny09 @Akillorn19 and @Opalat18 #tourists pic.twitter.com/Os8i09eARi

Like any two good friends, they like to give it to each other... although it seems it’s mostly a one-way street...
Even without a car @andrejsustr found a way to the gym! #car2go pic.twitter.com/2aPgAAYLGu

@AndrejSustr @WholeBodyFuel the things a guy will do for a free meal. 😔

But Killorn also offers support and encouragement too...
Afternoon bike ride thru Tampa turned into a pretty heated street hockey game with these little fellas. #GoBolts pic.twitter.com/NXz0PlGTDn
