  • Everyone's just trying to bother the Red Wings, they're just upset because Detroit is the best team in the NHL.

  • This is a sport that averages a few more in attendance than the NBA... a so called popular sport in america. granted the NBA has much more access on television the NHL draws more to the games themselves... As far as the octopus being ridiculous it might be but the octopi are from a fish market so no matter what they were doomed to die.

  • Love the headline: MAPLE LEAFS FIRE HEAD COACH, PAUL MAURICE/

  • Some fag Detroit fan threw one at Chicago last year after a bad call....he obviously knew nothing of the tradition.

  • *sigh* Okay. We can agree to disagree on a tradition. The only tradition I personally believe in keeping is Christmas gift giving, and sometimes Trick-or-Treating. It's a matter of taste and what you personally think is acceptable, I guess. And yes, I hate garden burgers, so we can agree on that at least! :)

  • Good point, Octopi are already dead when bought at fish market and we have a choice to buy them in our country and toss at a game..EXcellent point..

  • Talking about keeping Cephalopod tradition. Veggies are killed when you immerse them in boiling water. Are you disrespecting the lowly carrot? Glad you agree about the WAR on garden burgers..Keep the tradition.

  • Okay- what are you talking about? How did carrots appear in this discussion? And garden burgers? (Which are nasty, by the way. Never eat one!) I'd love to discuss this with you, but I honestly have no clue what you're talking about.

  • Are you respecting those living and breathing carrots!! Is it too much to ask to leave those crucifers and curcubits alone!? WAR on garden burgers...keep the Cephalopod (ˈse-fə-lə-ˌpäd)tradition ..

  • I'm not anthropomorphosizing anything. I believe all life is equal, and I'm paying my respects. Is it too much to ask for?

  • do you always anthropomorphize all insects, sponges and animals? geeze louise ...

  • hehehe...Oh okay Jack..sounds like a plan...
