Room Service
Our four game road trip was winding down, and a lot of guys were feeling bored after being cooped up in hotel rooms for so long. We usually had team meals together, but on this particular night, we let the players order room service so they could turn in early for sightseeing in the morning.
What we didn't know was a couple guys had devised an ingenious plan to prank Vladimir Krutov. Earlier in the day, they waited until 'Tank' left his room so they could sneak in and take his best pair of dress shoes. Then, later that evening when the food trolley emerged from the elevator, they intercepted the waiter, telling her they'd take care of it.
Once the coast was clear, they lifted the lid off Vlad's plate and tossed his meal in the garbage. Next came the dress shoes, by this time full of yogurt, which they placed on the empty plate. Finally, they replaced the lid, wheeled the cart to Krutov's door and knocked loudly before running for cover. While they never got to see the look on his face, they were certain the grizzled vet was suitably ticked.
