Superstitious or Not?

This is a link-o-rama to the Penguins Eastern Finals victory. I like the move by Crosby -- gutsy, not afraid, take the bull by the horns kind of attitude.

"We didn't touch the trophy last year, and obviously we didn't have the result we wanted," Crosby said. "We figured we'd touch it this year. Although we haven't accomplished exactly what we want, we still accomplished something here. You know, we can still enjoy it." -- Sidney Crosby on his decision to forget tradition and touch the Prince of Wales Trophy

Do you have superstitions or routines? I wouldn't necessarily say I am superstitious, but I do have a routine that gets my mind "game ready". Over the years I have found this helpful to ALWAYS be "on". That's one of the main differences I see between inexperienced guys and the solid veterans in hockey refereeing = the vets turn it on ALL THE TIME.

The closest I probably came to a superstition was when I played I changed shirts every period...even after warm ups. That's four shirts a game. I used to do that reffing, too. Decided that was too much laundry.
