Please tell me I’m not the only fan who does these weird things when watching hockey

I’ve been watching hockey for roughly four decades now, and I can’t shake the feeling that I’m doing it wrong.

Well, not wrong, necessarily. But weird. Whenever I’m watching a hockey game, especially one I’m emotionally invested in, I find myself doing some odd stuff. And I’ve always wondered how much of it might be going on with other fans too.

For the record, I’m not talking about all the stuff I do that’s I know is pretty much unique to me. I’m well aware that most of you aren’t buying a good luck bag of chips for the playoffs or having your kids construct small shrines for international tournaments.
