At the end of the night, either Braden Holtby or Marc-Andre Fleury will have led their team to the conference final. They are two of the strangest goaltenders in the league.
Braden Holtby’s routines, which we nicknamed around a decade ago as Holtbyisms, include:
– A nine-minute groin stretch during the morning skate.
– A fancy hat
– Pregame visualizations
– An arm shuffle
– And the water bottle squirt.
Then there’s Marc-Andre Fleury who is best friends with his goal posts.
Whenever a shot will either hit the post or the crossbar, Fleury will go over and talk to the iron and give it a loving pat.
Goalies: they’re so weird.
