As previously pointed out, Detroit’s octopus represents the 8 games needed to win the cup.

But what has recently chafed my balls is, why the hell is everyone interjecting their “something “ into the national anthem?
For instance, I’m a Golden Knights fan. During the anthem, the entire crowd screams KNIGHTS. “ gave proof through the KNIGHTS that our flag was still there”.
I feel like a freaking Hanson’s brother when I just want to listen to the freaking song!!

From the article:  "Fast forward to 2002, when the Wings came to Nashville, and some inspired Preds lover decided that the team needed its own twist on the toss, this time using a staple of local cuisine."

Local Cuisine?

 Hockey uses a puck not a ball. But do feel superior anyway.

It goes further than that.  Mellanby killed the rat before the game, and then went on to score two goals in the game.  Two goals, plus one rat, equals a hat trick - err.... rat trick.  Hence the rubber rats thrown onto the ice.

First of all that's an Atlanta tradition. We've been doing that here for a loooooong time. Even for non hockey games.

Second of all, the other Atlanta tradition is losing your hockey teams to other markets. 3x now.

I’m salty that they didn’t retain Joe Louis Arena for the name.

I know, corporate sponsorships and all… but it was a nice throwback. Didn’t even name it “Little Caesars’ Joe Louis Arena” or anything.

The easier to smuggle it in with, ba-duy.

Random thought: You’d think more of our size XXXXXL membership would warmly embrace the idea of hockey jerseys… Even the skinnier guys, you can hide a large gun under a hockey jersey (not to the game, just around town). Things that make you go hmm. 🤔

Aha! Thanks for the assist. I read the account in a Rinkside magazine years ago, and forgot those details.

Damn, y’all bitching about hockey being boring must be watching women’s FIELD hockey or something.

1. Find a town with a professional hockey team
2. Travel to that town
3. Purchase tickets
4. Watch game
5. Come back to this thread and offer your most sincere apologies (because your current opinion is incorrect).
6. Bonus if it’s a playoff or rivalry game.

People want to feel like they belong to a tribe, we're wired for it. With the breakdown of community and family, people are increasingly isolated and searching for something to belong to. This is also behind the rise of identity politics - people want to belong to a group.

Not by the people who have to clean them up.


edit: I guess, technically, getting paid to clean up octopus (octopii?) could be considered good fortune.

I miss the Detroit - Colorado games back in the '90s.
