DR HOLLIDAY Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Pretty important game for the Sabres tonight. I am gonna try and help the Sabres out by putting all my game day superstitions into full effect. 1) Mike Peca Jersey fabreezed and ready to roll. 2) Rico the Sabre Monkey ready to roll. 3) Becks Beer, 6 pack. 4) Sabre flags placed on either side of the TV. 5) Phone off the hook. 6) One sweaty nervous Sabre fan ready to watch them Smash Philly tonight. Anyone else have any special things they day for big games?

Anyone else have any special things they day for big games? If it's just me, then I'm in my man cave, door shut, Myers jersey on, hat on If my sister and/or her boyfriend are with me, we're usually either in the living room or at her boyfriends. In either case, we have assigned seats and everyone has their jersey on! My sister has a Pominville slug Jersey, her b/f has the current home Ennis jersey, and I have the current home Myers. No phone calls or changing the channel is allowed. Sister's B/f's mom did that to us once...the Rangers scored on us! The remote is hidden once the game is turned on.
nfreeman Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Good man. Mine are: - Exercise while wearing Sabres clothing. - Try to avoid feelings of dread and fear of end of season. - Spend much time on this board.

I've spent more time on the board today than doing real work... :oops: shhhh don't tell my boss!
MattPie Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I don't have as many as I used to, but I sometimes do my own drinking game. The rules are pretty flexible. A beer for every Sabres' goal. If I feel like it, a beer for each period the Sabres don't score. Superstition is if I get ahead on beer they won't score and they won't score until I finish the beer I'm on. If it's a weeknight and the score is ridiculous, goal differential.

shrader Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 My biggest superstition of all is that I refuse to acknowledge my specific superstition out loud. Once I do that, it no longer works. Of course, I have no idea if I've completely changed that now by mentioning this. But yeah, wearing a specific shirt, sitting in a specific spot, missing the first x minutes... once I saw that it works, it no longer works.
Claude_Verret Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I used to religiously don my Sabres jersey before heading out to the man cave to watch each game. Then in the doldrums of Dec/Jan I didn't really watch all the games, and those that I did I didn't wear my jersey. That practice continued throughout this recent run and will remain so for the rest of the season, however long that may be. No Sabres garb for me!
LastPommerFan Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I ###### like mad man before puck drop. If things turn south, you're doing the dead between periods as well...
shrader Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 If things turn south, you're doing the dead between periods as well... Woah, leave the necrophelia out of this please. This is a family board.
LastPommerFan Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Woah, leave the necrophelia out of this please. This is a family board. Wow, I wonder if my phone did that on purpose...maybe i should be worried... [i meant "deed"]

sabres1970 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 -Vacum the sabres throw rug on my man cave's floor. -Miller jersey following a good outing, Vanek/Gerbe after a good offensive showing, throwback white home jersey (blank, like the winter classic jerseys) if neither. -Dr. Pepper, pretzels. Nothing too crazy, although the playoffs mean a different set of rituals.

Randall Flagg Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I paint the logo of the team we are playing on the back of a animal, and then i slay it to offer to the gods. Size of the animal depends on importance of the games. Tonight will be a large pig. I do this while doing a traditional Mayan rain dance in an effort to let bad luck fall on the enemy. Go sabres!!! :P
FogBat Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I think I should stay off of the forum once the game starts until it's over. Since I'm over 40 now, I don't need to bring on a heart attack if they miss the playoffs.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I have no active superstitions. The only thing I used to do applied only when I went to games, I'd have to wear my autographed Hasek goathead because it didn't see a loss for years (probably like 15 games or something like that, including a few playoffs). That jersey even saw the Derek Plante shot that broke Tugnutt's glove and went in. Good times. But then it saw a loss, 2 years ago against Boston, so it has since been retired.
nobody Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I never post in game day superstition threads. Dammit!
