It's March 12th for the NHL. Let's get into it. Follow and subscribe for more team news every day. Golees in the National Hockey League have long been known for their eccentric sides. Standing alone in net while pucks fly at them at high speeds seems to breed quirky behavior. A popular ranking highlights 10 of the wildest over the years from explosive tempers to outright superstitions. The finished star, Tuuko Rask, built a reputation for raging after shootout losses, a habit that started in the minors and carried to Boston. Roman Sekmanek shocked fans by blocking shots with his head, earning cheers in Philadelphia until a playoff meltdown where he yelled at teammates from center ice. Tim Thomas did not hold back on the ice, slashing rivals who cried at his crease, or avenged hits on Bruin's teammates. All fights, he skipped a White House visit after their Stanley Cup win, citing government overreach. Meanwhile, Tert Broda battled his Toronto boss over weight issues, but shown in playoffs.

Glen Hall, a Hall of Famer, threw up before each of his 502 straight games, believing it's sharpened his edge. Ed Belfort, classed with coaches over expectations, and once tried bribing cops with a billion dollars after an arrest. The list peaks with fiery Patrick Roy, who talked to his goalposts as friends, Ilya Briskilov with his cosmic rants in Philly, Penelty King Ron, Hextal, and Gilles Gratten, who skipped games over moon positions and past-life traumas as an inquisitor. Hockey fans still debate who tops the weirdness. This episode is supported by our sponsor, C Details in the Description.
