Me play hockey... good

No one's going to mistake Andy Sutton for a rocket scientist. Not going to happen. But is it too much to ask that he know how to put on his own helmet properly?

Sutton blames this man, shown at right, who he calls 'The Leader of the Backwards Helmet Order.'

(Really, it's just teammate Marc Savard, leading his team in what has become a rather bizarre ritual of wearing their hockey helmets like crazy men during shootouts. But don't tell Sutton that.)

“I’ve never really been part of a team superstition before,” added Sutton. “It’s pretty cool. It seems to be working for us and it’s bringing positive energy to those shootout situations. But it helps having Kari [Lehtonen] in net, too.”

Look Andy — if your goalie's got his bucket on backwards, it's not helping him. Unless it's Andrew Raycroft.
