Great article! I went to watch the Caps practice at Kettler Capitals Iceplex this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see that Holtby was practicing with them! He’s not only an amazing goalie, but dang he’s a babe and a half. Now I have an excuse to stare at him I’ll just say I’m observing his Holtby-isms <3

I love his quirks too. We especially like his “Holtby Hop” he does before taking a faceoff is his own zone.

My wife and I sit behind the net by the zamboni and have noticed a lot of Holtbyisms. The one I like the best is during the Anthem he “steps” his hands up from his hips to his chest and then back down. One other one we like is when he comes towards the net before the period he does a little shoulder shuffle once to the right and once to the left. We have also gotten into the habit of wiping the glass down with our rally towels after he squirts the water. Of course we’re on the other side of the glass from him but we do it. He has seen us doing it and I am sure he thinks we are crazy. Love the guy and I hope sticks around the Caps for a long time.

This kid is amazing. The way he plays is incredible and how he goes through each and every little detail of his game is mind blowing.

I definitely noticed the spraying and spitting of the water which occurred pretty much constantly.
