How do you prepare yourself?

Hey there.

Do you guys have any special habbits before the game.

I myself:

1. I go Sauna before Finland games
2. After Sauna I take something cool to drink
3. I must have chips or popcorns during the game
4. At the second intermission I prepare myself 2 delicious breds.

nothing special, I just want everyone to leave me alone :D
well beer and food during the game

The thing I like most about Finland - the Saunas and the beer! :D

I don't have a sauna, but this is pretty much how it goes

1) Half hour before the game - browsing the web, looking at the line ups etc
2) Watching the first period
3) 1st intermission: eating dinner with my GF, putting a "snus" under my lip and checking in on the GDT at hfboards
4) Watching the second period
5) 2nd intermission: checking in on the GDT at hfboards, putting a "snus" under my lip
6) Watching the third period
7) Discussing the game at hfboards

It's become pretty much a habit :)

Remember to take the "snus" out or you'll be really bumbed after few games :)

Turn on the t.v.

Curse at the lack of coverage.

Turn off the t.v.

I don't really do much to prepare for a game. I do like to have the latest edition of the hockey news handy while watching a game.

The Saturday night game is the one I wait and wait for and never miss. As a sleepy teen I wake up on Saturday usualy fairly late in the morning. Then I heat have breakfast/lunch and then wait. Kill time, watch some Tv, surf the net, but really all it is is waiting for the Saturday night game. I tell my friends not to call me because I won't go out Saturdays. They just don't understand...

All in all Saturday is usualy a pretty lazy, pathetic and uneventful day until 630-7 PM.

I don't do too much. I have dinner before the game...go in my room and watch the game.

I usually try to get drunk before or during the game. I have been very succesfull in these games. Of course sauna is needed...I usually go after the game with possible drinking buddies...usually put the sauna on after 2 periods so it's ready after 3rd.

no pregame ritual for me, I just watch the game.. when the game is on, and the team I cheer for (either Russia or the Maple Leafs) is playing, I can't even eat or drink, I'm just way too tense for that unless it's a blowout..

I think I'm gonna go mental tomorrow during the quarter final game..

Can you tell me what a snus is? Sounds like some kind of drug.
