This season, we've seen some really awesome pregame and postgame rituals NHL players have.

Rituals are an important part of the preparation process for any athlete, and you don't have to be a professional to understand that.

Something as simple as listening to the same songs before every game for a minor league hockey player is an example of a pregame ritual.

While we're not sure if Ryan Reaves and Vladimir Tarasenko listen to music before games, we do know the two Blues have their own pregame ritual, which they showed off Wednesday night.

Unique, weird, fun, and incredible are just some of the words you can use to describe that awesome ritual.

Expect to see that ritual in the playoffs as the Blues, barring a catastrophic collapse, are on the verge of clinching a postseason berth.
