I feel like when you get up there in age as a professional athelete you always have to have some kind of weirdo fitness thing you do that you claim keeps you in prime condition and extends your career. I feel like Burlok's thing would be some kind of grass therapy.

So in the new weight room he's demanded there be a 10x10 patch of real grass that he can stretch on post workout. It's all about the skin on grass contact. According to him 15 minutes of stretching in grass is like 2 hours of stretching on a rough synthetic floor. He says it's because your body absorbs Gaia particles from close contact with nature. These particles bind to the oils on your skin, and then absorb into your bloodstream. As they course through your muscles and organs they have a rejuvinating effect on damaged tissue. They also activate pathways in the brain that have been dormant since our ancient ancestors that lived in the wild, heightening our senses, our awareness, and our empathy. Anyways that's why he's so good at hockey, according to him and a doctor he talks to twice a day online.

So yeah, grass in the weight room please.
