It is well known that athletes are often superstitious people, who will repeat the same routines day after day, otherwise they feel that something bad will happen to them.
Over the years, we have witnessed many of these rituals among hockey players. For the Canadiens, the two rookies Juraj Slafkovsky and Arber Xhekaj may have created their own common ritual.
Indeed, this is to be taken with a grain of salt, but in the following video you can see that Juraj Slafkovsky deliberately tries to kick the puck at Arber Xhekaj.
We'll see in future practices if this is a trend that will continue or if it was a one-time thing, but it's still a very good sign of a healthy team spirit and brotherhood.
