Even Stanley Cup champions need some time to adjust to new surroundings.
Forward Ryan O'Reilly - in his first game with the Toronto Maple Leafs after being traded from the St. Louis Blues on Friday - had a slight mix-up before the Maple Leafs' game against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. After skating to the bench at the end of warmups, O'Reilly grabbed a bottle to cool off. Without knowing the bottle was full of a sports drink, O'Reilly doused his head.
When he realized his mistake, he made the switch to water and used that to wash the sports drink out of his hair. The small blunder didn't affect O'Reilly's play on the ice, as the newest Maple Leaf recorded a point in his debut. There's no doubt that O'Reilly , who won the Conn Smyth Trophy while leading the Blues to the 2019 Stanley Cup, will know exactly which bottles have water by his next game.
