Avalanche playoff superstitions: From electrolyte flavors to driving in the same lane to Ball Arena, the Stanley Cup champs are ritualistic

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:22:36 GMT

SEATTLE — On the drive to Game 1, Bo Byram found himself auto-piloting into his old ways.At some point early in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs — he doesn’t exactly recall when or how — the young defenseman developed a habit during his drive to the rink. Approaching Ball Arena from the south on Speer Blvd., Byram convinced himself he needed to stay in the second lane from the left for the entire drive. “A bit ridiculous,” he called it.But the Avs were winning, so he couldn’t abandon the plan. He would wait until almost the last second to get over two lanes, into the left-turn lane off Speer to Ball Arena.Superstitions run rampant in the NHL, but they tend to become amplified during the playoffs when the stakes are higher and the attention to daily life details is too. “It gets a little haywire,” Byram said. “Just a lot of stuff that you do one night, and you think it works, so you keep doing it.” He and several Avalanche teammates had el...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:22:36 GMT

Shedeur Sanders’ status as the Big Man On Campus was assumed from the moment he arrived in Boulder with his dad. But on Saturday at Folsom Field, the quarterback went out and cemented that title heading into the 2023 season.Playing with confidence and showing off his big arm, Sanders completed 16 of 19 passes for 219 yards and two TDs, and also ran for a seven-yard TD.It was just the spring game — one in which he was wearing a gold “hands off” jersey — against the Buffs’ second-team defense. But the performance emphasized Sanders’ primary role in the Buffs’ potential turnaround under head coach Deion Sanders. And after a 23-3 record as the Jackson State starter over the past two years, the younger Sanders is ready for the spotlight.“Now I’ve got a couple years under my belt, so I know how to get the best out of guys,” Sanders said. “I know exactly what I want and I’m able to step up and lead us in the right direction....

‘Draymond rules?’ Warriors star thinks it’s good that NBA treats him differently

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:22:36 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Don’t expect Draymond Green to change his ways in the wake of his Game 3 suspension.“They created Draymond rules before, them sh–s don’t work. Here I am, still sitting here, still winning,” Green said proudly from the podium after Saturday’s practice.“They created those rules before, they didn’t work, they still don’t work. Maybe they did. Draymond won’t be moved by no Draymond rules. I will continue to play the game, I love playing the game. Operate how I operate, be exactly who I am because that leads to winning. If I was losing, they wouldn’t be creating Draymond rules. As long as they’re creating Draymond rules, that means we’re winning, and that’s great.”Green believes Doc Rivers said it best when the 76ers coach shared his thoughts on Green’s punishment.Speaking to reporters Friday, Rivers said he disagreed with the league’s decision to suspend Green.
