Feeling It

from Sean Gordon of the Globe and Mail,
When Cammalleri scored a hat trick against the New York Rangers last month – a stretch in which he notched six goals in seven games – he confirmed afterward what every fan in the Bell Centre felt that night after netting his second.
He knew it was coming, because he’d felt it before – Cammalleri calls it “the flow.”
“I can usually feel it in my legs. There’s just this level of energy you get when things are going well. When my legs feel good, I know I’m going to score,” he said in a recent interview.
Any hockey fan, blinded or not by psychological predispositions or conditioning effects, has marvelled at a player who seems to be able to score at will.
And athletes, whether there is scientific evidence or not – and there isn’t much – go to great lengths to replicate the state of grace that signifies success.
