Montreal Canadiens: Surviving Friday the 13th (Habs Style)
Today is the day where people think bad things happen. Here’s a Montreal Canadiens style guide to survive this day of bad luck.
Friday the 13th. The day where most don’t really bat an eye at where others are cautious about. There was a time where I didn’t believe in the power of the unlucky day and then I fell down the stairs after saying it. If you’re a Montreal Canadiens fan, I share with you a guide for the team to dodge the bad luck on this day.
1. The Number 13
Thumbs up because there are no players on the team who wear 13. The last two were Mike Brown and Alexander Semin in the 2015-2016 season. Sorry for the mini flashback there.
2. Itchy Palm
Apparently if you need to scratch your palm it implies that you are greedy. If any Habs players on the team get that feeling than they should probably wash their gloves. If it is tied to greed than it might be Phillip Danault who gets that itch, but it shouldn’t last long, he’ll get his money soon.

3. Don’t Skate over the Center Logo
You know how people say walking underneath a ladder is bad, this is worse. Perhaps this is why the struggles have hit the Montreal Canadiens so much. Just think about how many times they’ve skated over it.
4. Breaking the Glass Behind the Net
The Habs have to make sure that they place their slap shots well at practice. They can’t have any glass being broken, especially the glass behind the net. Alex Galchenyuk and Shea Weber, I’m looking at you two.
5. Lifting Your Stick Over Your Head

Well for one that’s a bad habit. Secondly, with all the penalties that have been called lately, that could get you two minutes in the box. Then you have to take into consideration that having your stick above you blocks the power of the hockey gods.
6. Stay Away From Debrin-cats
This has to be the most important one. Alex DeBrincat‘s are the worst kind of cats to be around on Friday the 13th. Bad luck is absolutley guaranteed if any player on the Montreal Canadiens get close. Keep your distance!
Even if any of the players decide to take part in any of these, there is a way to reverse the effect. Tapping your stick on the ice two times will take care of anything. It’s a one time use though so hopefully they don’t abuse it.
For the fans, keep your Habs gear close by. Jerseys, blankets, shirts, whatever. Anything will help.
