Holtby-isms prior to a face off

Hershey Bears goalie Braden Holtby displaying some Holtby-isms just prior to a face off during the 2009 home opener. Holtby is a fun goalie's goalie to watch. Post taps, rituals, and twitches... gotta love 'em. Before each face off in his zone (and I mean every face off) he takes a strong stride forward before stopping with one foot quickly. He also pushes his catching glove together into his blocker and flexes his arms back before the faceoff. I did not get on camera him flicking his water bottle into the air and catching it after each period. He is wearing one of the Calder Cup championship special jerseys that were auctioned off after the game. Braden's jersey was auctioned off for $2,000.
