One can see just how well it (and Nicholas) work in the video.
According to Canadian News Feed, Allain commented, when asked about his son's new-found fame, "It’s just something I did for fun… I never thought it would go around on the internet. It’s pretty cool."
Allain said that when he saw the video actually go up on the official NHL website, "I had to look twice, I couldn’t believe that they would ask me to put this on their website. It was a little joke for our house here and our friends."
