Mainio Players Tribunen juttu Holtbysta ja Stanley Cupin voittamisesta.
"There’s a story from those playoffs that perfectly captures that spirit. I think it all started right before the Pittsburgh series. One day, my wife is in the kitchen, and sees something laying in the grass in our backyard. She goes out to investigate, and she comes back inside and says, “We got a little present thrown over the fence.”
She’s holding these ziplock bags, and inside the bags there’s these little notes. You could tell from the handwriting that the kids who made them were maybe seven or eight years old. Big red marker. All Caps.
They said like, COME ON HOLTS!!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!! GO CAPS!!!!
A couple of games later, my wife is in the kitchen again, and she sees more bags come flying over the fence. I guess these kids had their little mission, and at that point it was like their superstition. They had to deliver my game-day motivation.
Everybody in D.C. was doing their part, right?
This time they said something like …
GO HOLTBEAST!!!! WIN THE STANLEY CUP!!!!! HOLTS #1 #1 #1
I was pumped. Not gonna lie."
