    Pasta. Its for the carbs, which help keep energy up.

  • amanda please:

    pasta

  • David:

    i heard some eat steak or a nice helping of spaghetti and meatballs.

  • Axe:

    lots of guys eat pasta or spaghetti, for the carbs. a excellent drink for after is chocolate milk (because of the protein to stout ratio)

  • Sasha:

    Chicken for lean protein and muscle, and pasta for carbs and ‘quick’ energy. There was an article in The Hockey News about it a few years ago.

    EI: I doubt that he’s limber enough to do the job sufficiently

  • Jono:

    Pasta, Chicken. Stuff to get their carbs up.
    AND TONS OF FLUIDS!

  • Canadian Mickey:

    A healthy source of carbohydrates will be my guess.

  • Atticus:

    ur mom

  • Leafsfan29-Go Canada Go:

    Pasta and chicken tend to be the staple of most pregame meals, although a lot of guys have their own oddities.

    Because of digestion red meat isn’t usually a well loved option (but some guys will eat it).

  • auntie gladys:

    I hear lots of them eat pasta. In the playoffs during a long overtime, they order pizza and bananas – really high carb and stout to keep them vacant, I guess. It’s weird, I just can’t imagine working out so hard you really need pizza!

    Y’meen Dirty Mike Rowe? Could be a sweaty job, not that dirty! Still, hockey and Mike would be a nice combination – about the only two shows I watch combined.
