Paulina Gretzky Just Proved Why Instagram Is Worth $1 Billion

Written by Ashley Burns / 04.30.12

Last year, the Internet’s legions of dude bros rejoiced as having a Twitter account finally paid off when NHL legend Wayne Gretzky’s daughter, Paulina, was happily posting revealing pictures of herself for all of us to… respect and admire. Well, the Great One – like most fathers of absurdly attractive 23-year old girls – didn’t think too highly of that and he forced Paulina to remove all of the questionable pictures from her Twitter. Sadly, we were forced to find pictures of half naked girls elsewhere. So difficult.

Thankfully, what Wayne may or may not have realized is that the Internet has like 6 billion sites devoted to allowing people to post their pictures, and in case he didn’t hear about it, the popular photo sharing site Instagram was just purchased by Facebook for $1 billion recently. So yeah, that’s a pretty popular site, too.

Hey, maybe Paulina is on Instagram, posting pictures of her recent trip to Las Vegas with her boyfriend and their friends. Maybe she’s posting pictures of herself in a bikini in interesting positions with people of both genders. Let’s just check and see if this completely hypothetical idea is true… IT IS.

Great Moments In Professional Athletes Procreating: Paulina Gretzky

Written by Ashley Burns / 10.17.11

I’ve failed to come through on the topic that matters above all else – hot daughters of professional athletes and coaches. I know, I deserve your scorn and the shame that comes with it. Hopefully in time you’ll find it in your hearts to forgive me.

As for right now, I want to start making it up to all of you. Thankfully, in my morning reading, my buddy Chris pointed out a delightful post over at Boston Bar Stool about Wayne Gretzky’s daughter, Paulina. I’ve never been one to use hyperbole, but she may be the greatest offspring of a professional/collegiate athlete/coach ever. For instance, Tony LaRussa’s daughter, Bianca, is here…

*holds hand above head*

And Paulina Gretzky is here…

*stands on chair, punches hole in ceiling, climbs through hole, holds hand above head*

Again, I’m a St. Louis Cardinals fan and Tony LaRussa is one of my favorite people on Earth, so obviously his daughter could look like that lady from “Two and a Half Men” and I’d still be like, “OK let’s do this.” That should speak volumes about my opinion of Paulina.

So I tip my cap to you, Great One. Way to slip that puck by.
