It all started with an innocent tweet from Sportsnet’s Eric Engels.
No joke, #Habs say Kirk Muller told them to do a Flying V on a power-play breakout last night. They did. My story is on its way @Sportsnet

That’s right, they actually tried the Flying V from the Mighty Ducks movie. In an NHL game. And they ended up scoring a goal. Seriously.
Engels’s story (that you can read here) says that Habs rookie Artturi Lehkonen spilled the beans about the new strategy.
