It might just have been an intrasquad scrimmage, but TJ Oshie and Tom Wilson took it super, super seriously.
I know this because the two right-wingers brought back their NHL-best pregame ritual: bonking each other in the booty.
What are warmies without a couple butt taps!

I count one big shot to Wilson’s rear while the Osh Babe got 15 rapid-fire slashes to the tush.

The day before Oshie promised he’d bring back his pregame rituals during warmups of the scrimmage.
“We’re kinda doing a real game here,” Oshie said smiling. “I don’t know what else to do tomorrow. Half the time, I don’t even know what the team does for some of the drills (during warmups) because I’m always messing around. If I try to join in, I’d probably mess things up.
“I’m guessing Tom’s on the other team so I’ll have to give Tom a little smack from the other side of the red line,” Oshie added.
Instead the two were paired together and we’re all thankful for that.
