  • The Octopus has eight legs and it used to take eight wins to win the cup.. So back in the day the owners of a fish market threw one on the ice for luck and its stuck ever since then...

    One of the best traditions in sports cause it's so unique.

    Go Wings

  • Answer to your question: the same place you can buy any dead seafood- a fish market, "Einstein".

  • @stephenspinato yea.. its not like your father wore one the night you were conceived... by accident, in a drunken slur (y)

  • way to wear a glove ... loser

  • @piratebri nah best time is to do it right after the national anthem.

  • @G0odf3lla At the beginning of the season a rat came on to the ice right before the game and 1 of the players one timed the live rat into the boards and killed it, and in that same game that player scored 3 goals, which they ccalled the rat trick so from then on they threw fake rats onto the ice every time they scored at home, it grew from around 30 every goal to over thousands in the playoffs, until the NHL eventually banned it the next year

  • @Julian24151 Yeah ? and what's the story about the rats tradition ?

    Let's throw tennis balls, keyboards, tires or whatever on the ice then...

    Octopus just rocks, can't deny it. Once again, i'm no wings fans

  • @G0odf3lla The tradition that florida did was way more epic than this, i mean fans threw thousands of fake rats on to the ice EVERY time they scored at home in 96' im not a panthers fans, but thousands of fake rats are way more epic than a fucking octopus

  • how do you get it into the stadium do they not care or do you have to sneak it in

  • @salliusgrode ROFL i'm not a wings fan, but comparing the panthers and the red wings ?? ahahah

  • Go Octopus !!

  • @salliusgrode TBL has more stanley cups than you. dipshit
