At least it's not on the general board. :laugh: Leafs fans probably aren't too happy about all the threads being bumped tonight.

That, in itself......... well you get it.

Calder cups aren't won playing 12 minutes/game.

But Plekanec for Selke is interesting. If the habs continue to win,
Therrien for Jack Adams?

There is no such thing as a jinx.

Why do people even bring it up? It should stop being funny when you're a teen.

Because people believe there is, not just fans but also the players. Has nothing to do with age.

Just imagine 5 years ago, Habs vs. Rangers. 5-0.. and let's imagine Gomez say: "So guys.. where do we go to celebrate our victory?" You think his teammates will like that?

There is no such thing as a jinx, it is equivalent to believing in Santa Claus.

Your gomez example is a non-example.

Has are the most improved team, so Therein is a good candidate imo.

Kirk muller and Bruce boudreau are also sensible choices.

Maybe Jinx's exist, but aren't as serious as you are taking this. :)

As simply a joke, it gets stale after thousands of trials :)

Rosso implies some players believe in jinxes ... I hope not ... They would then believe in the tooth fairy too.

Jinx is a kind of superstition and we all know lot of players are extremely superstitious.

It's not a science but its still something a lot of people believes in.

It makes sense on a personal level because performance correlates with attitude and expectations.

But players do not read this board :)

This is a jinx thread but Galchenyuk, Price, Gallagher, et al. are beyond jinx threads. This ain't Theo or Latendresse. These kids are safe as vaults.

Gally is not far ... :)


1 Cory Conacher .......TBL C 14 5 8 13 +1 10 1 0 2 0 28 17.9 15:17 20.3 0.0
2 Vladimir Tarasenko..STL R 15 6 6 12 -1 8 2 0 1 0 33 18.2 14:19 21.9 0.0
3 Alex Galchenyuk......MTL C 16 2 8 10 +9 8 0 0 1 0 27 7.4 12:03 17.5 43.8

Aren't Conachar and Tarasenko much older as well. Like mid twenties?

I think Price is playing like a Vezina, he looks very good out there. Chuckie needs to overcome Desharnais to have a shot at the Calder imo and it might just happen in the 2nd half.

I see what you did there...you jinxed the jinx! excellent!


But, I agree this thread is premature. I'm just happy they are playing so well
