'Pretend That It's My First Game': Maple Leafs' Sergei Bobrovsky Clears The Air With Gavin McKenna Rookie Lap Incident

Usually, the player getting on the ice for their first NHL game will go out by themselves and shoot a couple of pucks on net before the rest of the team joins them. But in this instance, goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was out on the ice before McKenna , which sparked a reaction in the hockey community.

Some thought that might've been Bobrovsky being superstitious or it being a part of his routine. Others maybe believed it was just an accident.

Bobrovsky himself broke his silence on that, explaining that it was the latter of the possibilities.
