So, did you ever wonder why hockey goalies sometimes squirt their water bottles superdramatically? I always assumed they just did it to be a little extra (or in Holtby’s case - devastatingly handsome!) but there is actually a perfectly sane explanation for it: When you are a goalie you have your eyes on the puck and the other players at all times. For almost two hours every night, they have to focus their eyes on what is happening in the game, which can be really exhausting. Some goalies experience going a little crosseyed by the end of it. So to help their eyes re-focus, they squirt a their water bottles into the air and try to follow the water droplets with their gaze. It helps them stay focused and alert and it helps their eye muscles to loosen up. And, you know, it Holtby’s case - to look like something straight out of p*rn...
