The Weenie Hat

While watching the after game interviews of tonights game against Buffalo, the first appearance of The Weenie Hat is made atop David Backes' head. Of course now I am curious what qualifies a player the privilege of this honor. My first thought was Backes received it for leaving the ice for a shift during the first period after he fell hard into the end boards. But after listening to the interviews, Halak said he received the honor after his 1-0 shutout during the game against Dallas. It was also added that the hat has only been around for 5 games now and that D'agostini started this practice.

So, what does qualify a player to earn The Weenie Hat Honor after each game and who else has won this honor?

v. Vancover, 3-2 OT: ?; v. Minnesota, 2-3 W: ?; v. Dallas, 0-1 W: Halak; v. Edmonton, 0-1 W: ?; and v. Buffalo, 2-4 W: Backes.

You can also buy your own Weenie Hat, if so inclined, at Amazon.com.

Halak got it

the last game but he didn’t where it during the interview. None of them have until Backes.
Gotta love a man that’s comfortable in anything and not afraid to be embarrassed.
