If you are going to dress as a goalie, Jacob Markstrom is going to make sure you have the right stick.
A young Vancouver Canucks fan was in the crowd at Amalie Arena for a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. He was dressed in some, but not enough goalie gear for Markstom's liking. The youngster was wearing a white Canucks jersey, goalie mask and blocker. He was holding what appeared to be a souvenir mini stick. Markstrom changed that immediately.

It probably will be a few more years until the wanna-be pro netminder grows into being able to use it, but why not start practicing now?
