​Hockey is a game full of superstitions. It's not uncommon for even the greatest of players to partake in silly activities that supposedly give them an unforeseen edge over their upcoming opponent.





But the ​Vegas Golden Knights are playing with house money. If the hockey gods were real, surely they would've finished near the bottom of the Western Conference, as is the custom for most expansion teams.





Instead, Vegas is on their way to the Stanley Cup Final after clinching their spot in Winnipeg. In celebration, ​Marc-Andre Fleury dared to touch the conference championship trophy--a deadly sin among those who choose to believe in curses. The Knights had an epic clap-back in response to this utter nonsense.

btw... for all you jinx theorists...

​​I think we're done here.





The Knights will await the winner of Tampa Bay-Washington, in which the Lightning currently hold a three games to two lead. The task ahead surely won't be easy, but enjoying the moment and hoisting the conference championship trophy will have no effect on a man who's been through this sort of thing three times prior.





Good luck getting in Marc-Andre Fleury's head. It's going to take more effort than that.
