Your thoughts are very organized. Boringly so.
Davis
What's everyone's pre-game routine?
Mueller
Skate, film, chicken and rice at exactly 2:30, nap from 3:15 to 4:45, get dressed left to right.
Novák
Left to right?
Mueller
Left skate first. Left shin pad. Left knee. Then right side. Always.
Novák
You are one missed sock away from a full breakdown.
Mueller
It's not superstition. It's structure.
Novák
It's absolutely superstition.
Davis
I listen to the same playlist. Nothing special. Just need it to feel normal.
Novák
I have no routine. I simply show up and dominate.
Davis
Sure you don't.
Novák
I don't.
Davis
So you won't be taping your stick at exactly the same angle you've been taping it all camp?
Novák
That's technique, not superstition.
Davis
Right.
