For one thing he looks like a possessed man on a mission in the 2024 pic.

He is casting a spell in the 2024 pic.

He looks like he’s going to tear the limbs off of anyone who tries to touch it

He looks like one of those cartoon theives who got caught right as he’s approaching the diamond in 2024

Who was it that picked up the conference trophy and when asked afterwards why he’d do it with the curse and all, he replied basically “It’s a nice trophy”…????
Sports are weird.

I’m glad they’re just as superstitious about things as I am.

The team photo looks so stupid with all the players standing away from the trophy. You played to win this trophy and you don’t touch it, what a stupid superstition. Wins are to be celebrated not demonized.

This man is about to become Edmonton folklore.

It’s 2024 and the trophies are still named after dumb Brit colonial titles

Haha, I love the “Okay, not touching it this time” pic. “Everyone, let’s just stay calm and keep away from the trophy.”

So if Florida loses in the finals, we can stop pretending this matters?

Barkov has big me during picture day in elementary school energy

PaulMo would have killed Barkov if he let anyone touch it

I love Rudo’s Avalache lip read from the ’22 WCFs where the players are all trying to decide if they shouldntouch it or not and Sakic tells them to “touch the damn thing.”
He looks like Indy staring down the gold idol in Raiders.

The only thing that suggests these weren’t taken within minutes of each other is the hat colour. Lol

“Just touch the damn thing” – Joe Sakic, 2022.

2023 is different than this year. Last year they barely made the playoffs and had an epic 3-1 first round come back. No one expected them to do anything but they won the east a damn hard accomplishment and thusly they celebrated that achievement.
This year they played to their potential all season and know what the real prize is this season.

He looks like he’s afraid to even think about the trophy too hard.
