🏒 Hiatus Diaries: Habs tackle Tik Tok, Hischier shows off acrobatics

With a pandemic suspending sporting events worldwide, athletes suddenly have tons of time on their hands. In the latest installment of our weekly NHL series, we look at how they've been keeping themselves entertained - and in shape - while self-isolating.

Habs channel their inner 'Friends'

They may be dispersed around the globe right now, but that's not keeping some Montreal Canadiens players from showing off their friendship. Put together by Nick Suzuki, a group including Brendan Gallagher, Tomas Tatar, and Ryan Poehling created its own version of the "Friends" intro.

Roenick shows off incredible backyard

Jeremy Roenick may have retired from the NHL 10 years ago, but he's clearly been staying in shape. The former NHL star showed off one of the most impressive backyard setups out there - complete with putting greens, a pool, a basketball net, and much more - while putting his cardio on full display.

Nico Hischier: Certified ninja?

When the New Jersey Devils took Nico Hischier first overall in 2017, chances are they weren't aware of the young Swiss' sublime acrobatic talents. The 21-year-old showed off a unique workout routine, going from a set of pushups to a backflip and back to more pushups.

Ovechkin dumps, his dog chases

Alex Ovechkin has discovered the easiest way to keep his dog entertained while practicing one of hockey's most fundamental plays - the dump and chase. Don't work too hard out during the pause, Ovi.

The Tkachuk brothers play HORSE

Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are back under one roof. We might need a 24/7 video feed of what's happening in that household. The two teamed up for a tame game of hockey HORSE. Next time, get father Keith in the mix.

O'Reilly finds the perfect workout buddy

It can get lonesome working out in self-isolation, but luckily, Ryan O'Reilly found a suitable gym partner. Solid form from the young one.

Is Tarasenko planning a coup d'état on Binnington?

Jordan Binnington won the hearts of Blues fans last season when he backstopped his team to a Stanley Cup victory. But with a ton of time on his hands these days, Vladimir Tarasenko has started to hone his skills as a goaltender, and he may be looking to create a controversy in the St. Louis net sometime soon.

Pacioretty family (finally) welcoming a girl

With the help of their slap shots - which they surely inherited from their sharpshooting father - Max Pacioretty's four sons all helped reveal that Max and his wife, Katia, will be welcoming a baby girl to the family. Congratulations to the Pacioretty family!
