Keith Kinkaid recently became the de facto number one goaltender in New Jersey with Cory Schneider struggling. Kinkaid is 11-3-0 in his last 14 starts, featuring a .938 save percentage.
In fact, Kinkaid is playing with so much swagger that it’s translating to his Twitter account.
Thursday night, singer/songwriter Taylor Acorn tried to start a viral tweet, asking for retweets in exchange for a date with Kinkaid.
Hey @Blockaid1 how many RT’s for you to take me out on a date? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
— Taylor Acorn (@tayloracorn) March 22, 2018
Except Kinkaid was not interested in such formalities. This was his response.
Who needs retweets? Chipotle next Wednesday ?
— Keith Kinkaid (@Blockaid1) March 22, 2018
Taylor accepted.
You got a deal @Blockaid1 https://t.co/UGTas2R67m

So to recap: Over the last month, Kinkaid has become a starter and may no longer be single after potentially finding a girlfriend on Twitter. That’s goalie goals right there.
The response on Twitter has been ridiculous.
Shooters shoot.

Meanwhile, setting up dates on Twitter with total strangers is not the only thing that has gotten Kinkaid attention on the social media site.
Kinkaid has been posting emoji recaps after games.
