The weird thing is, I have being playing for several years and this has never been a problem before. I just sort of fell into it lately. During a shinny game today I made a concious effort to not do it but still did it!

I think that it's pre-occupying my brain on the ice and actually causing me to do it even if the thoughts are those of trying to eliminate the rut. Maybe It's time to start bidding on that mind-erasing machine I saw on Ebay!

I will overcome.
