After opening an umbrella inside and breaking my vestibule mirror, I walked under a ladder as a black cat mysteriously passed in front of me. Then I picked a penny up off the street when the tails side was showing, right after lunch where I spilled TONS of salt all over the table.

Finally, I sneezed and NOBODY blessed me.

To quote Morphious – all this and… “We are STILL HERE!”

Should goalies ‘skate over’ or ‘jump over’ the lines? Does either give you any real advantage?

4-5 record proves it makes no difference. The superstitious fear is unfounded.

Rather than fearing to touch the trophy, why not enjoy and prepare to win another one.

Nothing other than the players ‘skill and will’ is in control of winning or losing.

That said, I suppose traditions are traditions, and people are people, even if a little silly.

As far as conference championship t-shirts go, I want to save my money for a league championship shirt. If they lose, I would buy a conference champs t-shirt then.

The only superstition I have is my wife is not allowed to watch the game because she is a jinx. Patriots perfect season, 18-0 going into the Superbowl, I went to a party and my wife turned on the TV to watch the halftime show. The rest is history. To prove me wrong, she watched the first game of the following season. Brady tore his ACL. Thank goodness she doesn’t like hockey.
