My favorite sports team (the canucks) is currently on the road, and has been playing miserable on the road the whole season so far. They are great at home, but are 2-3 as visitors on this road trip. For the season, they are 12-14-1. Not exactly above 500. As a fan, is there something I could do to bump the slump? Got the idea from Sarah when she stopped watching the caps to keep their winning streak going. Should I stop watching too? Should I put my shirt and pants on backwards when I watch the game tonight? How about if I painted my face as part of pre-game ritual? What other superstition do you have to make sure that your favourite team wins?

I got mentioned in a post! I'm honored! My rules are simple, start watching the game if your team scores first then watch the whole game. if the other team scores first, then, depending on the opponent and their record, either leave because it is hopeless or stay if they are playing a rival. The exception for me for many years was the Red Wings. they played the same if they were winning or losing . So if their opponent scores first, it was okay, They could come back.and if you come in and it is tied stay for a while and see who breaks the tie. With the Caps Streak I was soo afraid I was jinxing them I was ' off like a prom dress " the Minute the other team scored first. It worked 3 times but last night It didn't work.Do what feels right.How can I say this. I wish you happiness but not too much. the wings need all the help they can get.

I do the same Sarah. If the canucks score first. I watch and guard the lead. But if the other team score first, I change the channel and go to the computer or listen to the game on the radio. I wouldn't worry too much about the wings. I am very confident that they'll be around come playoff time! Go wings go! I mean go canucks go!

I always wear this red Hurricanes shirt when I am watchin from home but I wear my black jersey when I go to the games! I think Vancouver will beat the Kitty Cats tonight. Luongo said in his tweet that the boys were down. I retweeted and told them to hang in there! Worry of a Captain I guess.

Must be great to have access to this tweeting on the interweb! Can you tell him to stop always letting in the first goal. Maybe I should do that, get a specific jearsey or shirt to wear if they are on the road. At this point I'll try anything!

Well not much that I am dong is working for my guys this season. I wear a different redwings shirt every day they play and I make all the little people I know do it too. I also cook wings for everybody to eat throughout the season on game days. This week I brought out the classic jersies and am hoping that I can send some of the stored up Karma in them. I will be wearing..Hull, Shannie, Hasek, Yzerman, and Howe hoping the old magic will have some effect. Sticks crossed!!!

Oh! That's unfair! You've got lots of rich history to draw up good karma from. Unfair for us teams in the west. If you got some bad karma going too, just please point it to the flames and the avalanche. And if the wild and oilers keep playing the same, then we'll surely come out of the northwest!

Ugh! What's with the loser point all the time? Just a little notch higher wings! Go wings go! Or at least you can look at it this way, when the wings lose they still get a point.

We need all that rich history and all is fair in love and hockey..You guys are pretty solid in your spot, we are still clawing to get one..Last time I saw a score on your guys tonight it was 3-0 canucks..and then we lost yet another shootout.
