Wow, the lack of traffic in this thread is amazing with the playoffs underway....

Did anyone read the article about the fan at JLA that was fined $500, ejected from the game and has a court date for throwing an octipi on the ice? What a bunch of bs.

The Wings put out a statement to the effect that the NHL prohibits throwing things on the ice and proscribes penalties similar to those levied on the fan. You think it's bs, but if Datsyuk sticks on a rough patch of ice where an octopus has been and breaks an ankle, you won't think it's bs. They asked Babcock about it and he basically said he'd like the ice to be smooth. Throw the octopi after the game, not during it.

F that.. Its tradition and I dont ever remember anyone getting hurt from it.. And what the hell is Babcock gonna say? "Throw as many as you want guys!!" cmon

[Fraquar]

For as many years as they have had flying octupi why is this even an issue? It' not like they are throwing beer bottles like they did in the 70's.

Octopus Garden -The tradition of throwing an octopus on the ice began in 1952. I think there would be evidence after 60 years if throwing the octipi on the ice is dangerous to the players. Bettman has been trying to stop this for years - Yes, he hates the Red Wings.

I think way too much is made of the octopus thing, both as a tradition and the people who want it prohibited. It's not something that should be a big deal to keep, nor should it be something to go up in arms about if it's stopped.

It was all over the radio today jaadam.

Bettman's an ASS and he uses the Wings for his WCS to keep attendance up. The Wings are just pawns to him and he hates the Wings fans. He's suck a FUCKING ass!!!

GO LIONS "11" !

[gjdodger]

Moo-hah-hah-hah-hah! They are just SLAVES to Bettman's EVIL desires! He keeps them like CHATTEL for his DIABOLICAL pleasures! He is indeed a SLAVEMASTER most FOUL! I SPIT on his GRAVE! Moo-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!

[WingsFan]

Nice post DanO, right on!

[FCRhodes]

Wings fans are taking the shit. Reality is that the tossing of the "pi" in itself is harmless. Problem is that they need to stop the secondary market. Do we really need plastic rats?

[WingsFan]

Yeah! And do we really need the tossing of hats onto the ice following a hat trick gjdodger? Seems a little silly to me, delays the game and they might miss one (?) OMG! A player could trip over the hat and blow his knee out!! Bettman take charge!
