Red Wings pregame ritual involves nut shots

The Red Wings are playing fast and loose these days. The influx of young players like Gustav Nyquist and Damien Brunner have given them an extra charge in the playoffs. Speaking of which, those two combined for a hilarious blooper before last night’s game.

That was Nyquist on the receiving end of that nut shot. He later scored on a nifty goal. Perhaps we’ve stumbled on a new pregame ritual.

Late last night, Damien Brunner caught on to our GIF shenanigans and offered up this tweet to his ol’ pal.
