Leprechauns wouldn’t exist without this holiday, so of course St. Patty’s Day deserves its own edition of “Off the Post.”

The days of hunting for lucky four-leaf clovers in the elementary school grass field may long be over, but it’s not unheard of for people to keep items they believe bring them luck.

Many fans think that professional athletes are superstitious, but are they? Kings players divulge their ‘lucky’ possessions, and spill the beans about which of their teammates they feel always has the luck o’ the Irish!

The Shot: Do you have a ‘lucky’ object?

The Pass: Which of your teammates generally has the most luck?

 
Matt Greene
Shot: (Thinking…) No – if I have to think that hard, probably not, huh?
Pass: Justin Williams

 
Jarret Stoll

Pass: Drew Doughty

Colin Fraser

Davis Drewiske
Shot: Not really.
Pass: Brad Richardson or Justin Williams – it’s a tie!

Dwight King

Justin Williams
Shot: No
