The New York Islanders payed homage to Happy Gilmore on Monday afternoon, taking a swing at Adam Sandler's famous running golf swing.

The 1996 comedy holds a special place for hockey and golf fans, so it was only fitting for pro hockey players to give it a try. Thankfully no gators were on set at Glen Oaks Club - and neither was Shooter McGavin.
