[@SirNoobingtonTheThird]

before my hockey games i always do 350 jumping jacks because i got a shut out when i first did it as a dare 20 mins before a game lol

[@IceTimeNHL]

Weren't you super exchausted afterwards?

[@SirNoobingtonTheThird]

@@IceTimeNHL yup lol but i did the same thing in my state tournament against the best team in my league and we tied and sadly there was no shootouts lol

[@KHoltzie]

I just watched ‘Goalie’ the story of Terry Sawchuck-GREAT film however the only thing I was disappointed in was the jerseys…I feel like using the actual team jerseys of that era (which they didn’t do) would’ve added to the overall authenticity of the movie!

[@ernestoleckardo1353]

Steve Bernier's Open Net Strategy is strange if you ask me lol

[@umarfarooqtheeditor]

[@mangrove]

Shanahan also would knock several times on his stick blade before taking the ice in pre-game, and would say a prayer to his late father after the National Anthem.
