Spittin Chiclets released an interview with Brian Boucher the other day (entire interview is great BTW) and he mentions some of the goalies he played with in his career and goes off on a small tangent on Calgary Flames legend Miikka Kiprusoff.
And since Kipper is such an elusive legend, hearing any stories on him is amazing.
Kipper part starts at 59 minutes and 59 seconds….
Boucher on Kipper:

I think he’d go into the steamer after every game and he’d crush a 6 pack.

This guy was soooo good, and he wouldn’t even sweat. He’d just sit in his stall and you wouldn’t even know he was alive, he’d look like a homeless guy like sitting there in the room.

He’d wait till the 7 minute mark, he gets up, puts his gear on and he goes out there and makes like 47 saves. And he doesn’t sweat. Never seen anything like it. And he looked like he didn’t have a care in the world. But unreal talent that guy.
