It's such a dumb superstition IMO. Winning that trophy is so unbelievably hard to do and it should be celebrated. You just beat 3 of the best teams in the East/West, arguably the best teams in the league. Pop champagne. If you lose the SC it wasn't because you touched a trophy.

The sentiment behind not touch it was "That's not the trophy we're playing for, it doesn't mean anything to us right now". Somewhere along the way it became superstition, probably because the media tried to make a deal about who touched the conference trophy and then won the cup.
