from Matt Kalman of the Hockey Journal,
Former Bruins standout Rick Middelton, who now lives in New Hampshire, remembers how everyone pretty much did their own thing when they arrived for a game during his days with the Black and Gold (1976-88).
“Well there wasn’t any soccer, I’ll tell you that,” he told Hockey Journal, with a laugh under his words….“Every routine that I saw was different,” he said. “And then there’s the routine itself – what time you do certain things. Some guys get dressed and sit there three hours before the game; some guys liked to get dressed in 15 minutes.”...
“We had a goalie, Marco Baron. I guess it must’ve been on game days that he played he couldn’t touch doorknobs – unless he turned it exactly the right way, he wouldn’t walk through it,” Middleton recalled. “I said, ‘Thank God the door to the Bruins’ dressing room didn’t have doorknobs; we never would’ve got out there because the goalie goes first.”
