I'm totally boned.

Just to let y'all know, I'm the kind of guy who wears the same shorts (yes I wash them), and shoes when we're on a winning streak. I always wear a home sweater for home games and a road sweater for road games. If a sweater gets hot, it doesn't get washed til we lose. All the boys have our seats, and our spots for a needed goal, or we know when to go outside and smoke because every time we do someone gets a shorty. We try not to overuse the mojo, but we know we have it.

We set the volume on the TV to the guy we need to have a big game. For a long time we kept it on 33. We'll pump that effer to 67 if need be. It spent an entire season Havlated up.

We think like Bill Murray does. When asked if he thought it really mattered if he wore a certain shirt or said a certain thing he said "well no, but if WE ALL do it..."

Anyway, we open the season in Dallas, which is a short drive for me. A golden opportunity to See the new look Hawks. Unfortunately the last four times I have been in that building to see the Hawks we've lost. The one game I missed due to work travel obligations, we won.

I feel like I'm letting the team down if I go, though I'd love to be there.

Worse, we usually gather at Bert's house for the games. We have our routine down to a science.

Well dumbass is building this HUGE, kickass house right now, complete with a double badass hockey room for game watching, but here's the kicker: he's moving into the house in the big effing middle of hockey season.

So, in an effort to keep consistent mojo this year my plan is to watch all the games at my place so I don't have to switch routines midstream, and skip the game in Dallas to guarantee a win.

Does anyone else have this sort of horseshit superstition problem to deal with or have you gotten past it?

I wore my cup t-shirt for Games 4-7 this year without washing it because I wore it on game 4 and I thought it was lucky. It smelled awful at the end of Game 7.

oh ok, i read this thread slower and now understand...


I have a special Blackhawks shirt I wear for every game, and I always have a cup of water next to me and I take a drink every time the other team scores to "wash it away"


i know, its lame :obama:

To the OP.

Go see the damn game. Dropping one of 82 ins't a big deal. Also when the dude build the new sweet tits hockey house..... go there to watch.

As for me, it is all about clothing. I run one jersey/sweater until a loss, then I switch. I rocked a Dallas Clark jersey for 14 weeks in a row a few years ago...... didn't wash it and it had a huge whiskey stain on the 2nd 4. I was almost glad for the loss.

Yeah occasionally I'll break the home/away rule if we're on a killer run. My Hull jersey smelled like ass after that 8 game winning streak a while back. When we finally lost, I think it was to LA, I couldn't have been any happier.
