If you're watching the game from home, there's absolutely nothing you can do that will have any affect whatsoever on the outcome of the game. Your favourite player is not going to score an overtime winner if you wear the same pair of dirty, unwashed boxers for the entire playoffs or whatever other crazy superstition you can come up. The only thing that accomplishes is disgusting your wife/girlfriend.

On the other hand, if you're watching the game live at the arena, you can have a small impact on the outcome. Scientific studies have shown that players perform better when feeding off the energy of a home-town crowd, and referees are more likely to call certain penalities (too many men, for example) against the visiting team.
