I realized tonight what mine is.

Besides the drinking, I have to touch something made of wood whenever a broadcaster says something complementary towards my team, just so they don't jinx them in any way. I don't know how it started, but in big games I always do it.

Does, well, you know...count? Like are you saying you basically just sat in front of the television furiously masterbating all night? Because the compliments were one after another this evening, especially for smith.


You know what, on second thought, don’t answer that. I’d rather not know.

As noted in today's GDT, some of you have been slacking when it comes to proper gameday preparations. So let this be a PSA to get our collective crap together CP -- the boys are gonna need it!

You're right. Last game I didn't start drinking until the 2nd period. To make up for that, I'll start now

I wear my bertuzzi jersey for every game with the promise that if the flames make the finals, I will burn it in effigy

Nothing too special. If I'm at home, like tonight, I will slip on a Flames jersey and drink some Crown Royal reserve on the rocks.

I like playoff hockey, so not much superstition but just a way to enjoy the game. Most regular season games, I don't give it my full attention or I've recorded it and watching it quickly.

I didn't listen to Navras for games 2 and 3. So I've been listening to it nonstop for the last half hour.

2 be honest I just love giving my puggy goal treats! I really hope at one point he figures out why he is getting them and starts reacting to the home goal music/horn.

I know I know...

I don't really have any superstitions.

Except, I try not to post in game threads, because whenever I stick up for a player I feel like I somehow jinx them and they do something silly.

I don't cross any part of my body like my arms or legs, unless they happened to score, then I don't uncross them.

Also, if the Flames are playing well, I won't change the channel even on commercials or in intermissions, because I feel it will break up the rhythm.

Other than that, nothing. So, pretty normal really.

For me, apparently watching the Flames at all is bad luck.

They went 2/13 in games I watched last season

They've gone 1/5 in games I have watched this season

3 wins and 15 losses. That's like watching a team that wins only 13 times in an 82 game season. It has been miserable, on top of decades of watching the Flames generally either miss the playoffs entirely or blow up in the first round.

I also watch the Stamps but really only at Grey Cup time, so this past year notwithstanding defeatism is etched pretty deeply in my sports psyche at this point.
