Never touched it.

 

[Nicko999]

No, he didn't. It was just the camera angle.

Bill Daly touched it. Is that bad luck?

That's why you don't touch it.

Oh please. I wish just for the HFBoards reaction someone would pick it up and kiss it, wave it around, and Gronk Spike it on the ice.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I think they should have a drink from it to end that stupid superstition.

lol give it a little dry hump and then punt it into the crowd. The only captain I can think of that would actually consider it is Ovechkin.

Video please. I don't have the technology ATM. I replayed it on my TV several times and saw a Blackhawk touch it. I'm sure it was Toews and I am confident I will be vindicated in time.

Dumb thread is dumb.

Silly superstition, especially since Toews and the Hawks have won multiple Cups.

Scott Stevens touched the Prince of Wales trophy in 2003 and the Devils won the Stanley Cup.

Wouldn't put it past Ference either.

Short of the gronk spike, that's what Mike Richards did with Philly in 2010.

I swear one captain in the last ten or so years raised their conference championship and said I don't believe about the superstition. Can't recall who though.

Iginla did before the Flames lost to us I believe.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

I actually want to see someone pick it up and shake it around just to say screw superstition and then go win the cup... and not touch it

Crosby picked it up in 2009 because he didn't touch it in 2008 and they ended up losing in the final.

 

[Hall of Faber]

Crosby picked it up in 2009 because he didn't touch it in 2008.

Yup that's what I recall.

2002 Canes

2006 Canes

To be honest, I didn't believe in the superstition. Until 2006. I do think it's a mental thing. Few people thought the 02 Canes had a chance at the cup, and many on the team were happy to be in the SCF. The 2006 Canes, with a few holdovers (Brindy and Wesley especially) would have none of it. Man I wish we'd make the playoffs again. I miss the magic.

This superstition (and all superstitions for that matter, really...) are garbage. Touching a trophy that 13/15 other teams didn't win that year is something to be proud of, not to be weary of.

This. Superstitions are for children.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Silly superstition. They earned that trophy, no reason not to enjoy that accomplishment even for a couple minutes.

If both captains of the respective winners touched the trophy, well, it would mean that one of them wasn't felled by bad luck.
