Julian Edelman must have attended the Rob Gronkowski school for puck spiking.

The Super Bowl LIII MVP and New England Patriots wide receiver delivered an epic puck spike for Patrice Bergeron and Anders Lee during a ceremonial face-off before the Boston Bruins game against the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
The Bruins honored the Patriots for defeating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 on Sunday for New England's sixth championship and third in five seasons. Four years ago, when the Bruins honored the Patriots for their Super Bowl XLIX win against the Seattle Seahawks, Gronkowski

during a ceremonial face-off to the delight of New Englanders.
Edelman kept the tradition going.
Edelman was joined by many of his teammates clad in personalized Bruins jerseys, and team owner Robert Kraft was at TD Garden too. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was not in attendance, but that didn't stop the Bruins from putting a goat in a Patriots shirt on the ice resurfacer before the game in a nod to Brady as the "Greatest Of All Time."
