Transcript: "All right, best locker room pranks. Well, I don't have enough time to do it in one set, but I'll give it a shot. Generally, it's it was a prank around some personal hygiene products, whether it was shaving cream in the in the folded towels. After you come out of the shower, it could have been baby powder in the hair dryer, back in the 80s. We use hair dryers and that was always a fun, one to see a snowman. Come out of the bathroom after using the hair dryer. That was fun little vaseline in the on the end of a stick when he had to prank, somebody was pretty good and and I guess away from the personal hygiene products that the one that I got a kick out of his, somebody was coming into the locker and a little bit late and rushed to get on the ice. It was inevitable that his skates laces would be cut about halfway up, and he couldn't tie his skates without getting brand. New laces, Good Humor for a bunch of boys. Trying to act like men, N."

It's a great question, the best locker room prank that I've witnessed. We had a player that was he was a fun player to be around, real easygoing around the rink, and one day he got into it with our equipment manager, and they were kind of going back and forth. And while we're on the ice, our equipment manager actually took his pants from his locker, sewed, his pocket, shut and left his keys in his wallet and his phone in his pockets. So I thought that was a pretty good one. To top it off the player dinner. His pockets were sewn until he was off the ice and his phone was ringing. And he reached in for his for his phone and couldn't get it. So that's probably the best. I've seen, there's a lot of different ones out there. Love this stuff. I think it's really good for your camaraderie around your locker room and love. Love when that happens.

My favorite was not in the dressing room, but actually in an airport, multiple airports back in the day when I played for the Washington Capitals, we flew everywhere like we were in airports all the time. No private jets, right? Like it's just going from airplane to airplane to get to Los. You know, Los Angeles to play a game. The next day we might stop and two or three airports to get there. So, what the guys used to do and There's a number of guys that did it. I'm not going to give away their names. Is they would, they would bring. Oh, and I didn't say Gordy Lane died. No, no, wouldn't be later. He wouldn't do. This is he would bring some fishing line right high-test fishing line. So maybe 30 pound test and he would poke a hole in a five dollar bill and anti the lined, the five dollar, you know, where this is going. Now place the five dollar bill out in the busy traffic. Of you know where people are going from there. They're playing and they're trying to get to the luggage and we would all stand right with our backs to the five dollar bills so you couldn't see Gordy lean down on his knees with the string and and people would come along, they'd say five bucks, and they reached down to pick it up and Gordie would tug it. Oh my goodness. That was the most funniest thing and some people would pursue Do the five dollar bill and he tug it again. He targeting in. Oh, my goodness! That was just one of the fun tricks ever. The greatest opposition to Coeur d'Alene and as five dollar bill was was a young. He must have been about a six or seven year old kid and when he saw the five bucks, he went for a but he didn't reach to get it. He stepped on it and broke the broke, the string and took the five dollars away, and we Thought that is brilliant. Good job, buddy.

Best locker room pranks that I witnessed or had happened to me. I've had a bunch of them happened to me and I've witnessed probably all of them that most people have heard of with the water, on the shin pads and things in helmets, and gloves and played with the guy really funny. Character guy named Dennis Bond V. He used to, you know, nail shoes to the bench or cut people's pants a little bit shorter and stuff like that. So, I don't think that would fly now but he was, he was definitely probably the best prankster I've had but One thing that happened to me, that I played with a really funny guy named Steve Martin's, there was a dead mouse. Apparently that was in Chicago, in the Old Chicago Arena, we were playing their against the wolves, in the American, Hockey League. And he, he had wrapped in a napkin and put it in my shoe. So at some point during the game and I got on the bus and still didn't know what was in my shoe and just kind of thought it was a little bit tight and I had that thing in my shoe for It had to have been over an hour or so. I would say that's probably the grossest thing that I've heard and it was it happened to me. So, definitely a funny one. We got a good laugh for that and I think I still owe him for that. So it's a good reminder, thank you.

As far as locker room, pranks go, I hadn't seen a whole lot. The one that I see or had seen a lot in my day. Anyway, was the baby powder into the blow dryer for your hair. So back in the day when we all had long hair I guess guys, have long hair now too. So drying your hair. You would load it up with baby powder and looking guy come in and turn the hair dryer on and poof. Baby powder all over the place.
