If you're a professional hockey player and don't mind showing off the locks, then there's no better time to do so than warm-up. Whether you rock the flow or just got a fresh haircut, any ask pro hockey player and they'll tell you there's no feeling quite like ripping around with no "buckey" while the cool rink air is breezing through one's hair, unless they get hit with a puck of course.
The Vancouver Canucks released a video asking Jake Virtanen, Ben Hutton, Brock Boeser, Chris Tanev, Bo Horvat and Alex Biega if they're team "buckey or flow" prior to puck drop, and it makes for some quality content.
Horvat is a safety first guy, spoken like the future team captain that he is. As is Boeser, who's nicknamed "The Flow," and should, in theory, let it all hang out.
Stecher's knows the risks and doesn't mind: "It's actually nice to get the wind in your face. I'm not making that up, it does feel good."
The no-teeth and no-bucket look from Tanev is oh so perfect.
Hutton and Virtanen know the drill: a little water in the hair and you're good to go.
"Bulldog" Biega, it's time to go no buckey.
