You guys, Tom Wilson and TJ Oshie have continued their odd pregame routine and I have the video to prove it. During warmups, Wilson will approach Oshie and whack the unstoppable shootout star in the gluteus maximus. “Just getting the boys going,” Oshie said to The Washington Post’s Dan Steinberg when trying to explain the point of it. “I don’t know.” I don’t either.
Thursday night before puck drop, Wilson gave Oshie not one, not two, but three (!) butt slashes.

My favorite is the added theatrics.
Later in the night, Oshie would score his fourth goal of the season after a brilliant setup from Wilson’s neighbor Andre Burakovsky.

So maybe it is working?
