Wild loses equipment...  

Hi reeyan..I don't really disagree with you, but superstition is part of hockey..alot of sports actually. But hockey players seem to have alot of them and I thought it would make an interesting discussion.

Not only in hokey but almost all players of any sports are more superstitious. Even the film sector is also mostly effected by superstition. We all know how superstitious our politicians are.

And most surprising that even among the scientist there are lots people who are superstitious. Though scientific conception is against superstition but scientist also effected by superstition. Is it not amazing.

I will writing later on the superstition of scientist.

Thanks

I think NHL should have postponed the game, as the opponent got a clear advantage. It can take weeks to get used to the new equipment, and like half of the Wild team lost their stuff.
I believe this affected Bäckström the most.

I heard during my game that they had decided to play. Also that in the future..backup skates will not be kept with all the rest of the equipment, just in case this were outo ever happen again. They were joking (I think) abot alot of extra betting going on in Ottawa because of this mess.

I know what you mean about their routine..wings played this afternoon and the guys were talking about the stuff they normally do that they couldn't, and the adjustments they have to make foor the odd game time.

I didn't know that veteran hockey players were able to bend their knees before 10 am?

Roy is kind of an odd guy, I always wondered how much he actually lived in his own head.

Mine is similar to yours..if my guys are winning I watch the game while doing other things..if they are losing I think they need my undivided support so I only watch the game. And I will go change shirts between periods.

I make sure I wear a wings shirt every game day. Your son is in good company..Shannie wore the same shoulder pads for over 20 years, they were literally held together with duct tape. Chelios wore someone elses and they were equally as old. I don't remember what players dad it was that gave them to him.

If you ever notice when Ozzie is goalie, he is the only goalie that wears the old style helmet with no decoration on it. He bought several when he found them and he thinks he has enough to get him through the rest of his career.

They were saying today that every player carries extra skates and gloves at all times..the problem was they kept them with the other equipment. Since they wear their skates a size smaller than their actual shoe size, I cannot imagine how those poor guys feet will feel at the end of the game tonight.

Oh, I almost forgot. I got my own superstition too. You know where analysts on TV and on radio predict what the score is going to be. I turn off the TV or the radio just before their predicion. In the past, it always jinxed them if analysts predicted a win.

Do what works bounce..I saw the score for the wilds game, they didn't lose as bad as everyone thought they would. At least they got a start on breaking in their new skates..poor guys.
