Rick Nash lifts his leg on Duck goalie

I’m not sure I understand why Columbus Blue Jackets Rick Nash felt the need to lift one foot in the air before shooting the puck, but he did end up putting the puck in the net, so he must know what he’s doing. Maybe he was trying to do one of those Captain Morgan leg lifts that people do in commercials. The NFL clamped down on a guerrilla ad campaign launched by Diageo, the maker of Captain Morgan rum. Diageo was evidently paying NFL players to strike the pose during NFL games.

Is Diageo doing something similar in the NHL?
