I don't see CHL as a superstitious person, but I also don't see him as much of a comedian. His comment could go either way.
For me? It doesn't matter. Do whatever. Touch it, drink out of it, raise it above your head and pretend you're a champ.
The only thing you have to "earn" is getting your name on it. I'd say that's true for anyone, NHL player or not.
It's a trophy, not an idol. The cup itself doesn't matter, it's what it represents. You don't get that just from touching it.
