Throwing a dead animal on the ice is the stupidest tradition in sports. It's not even relevant to the current playoff structure. I agree with the fine and hope it helps this "tradition" go away.

@mao2meow Can we just throw you onto the ice instead?

Now I want the Red Wings organization to pass out and octopus to every fan to walk in. After the first goal, throw them all and scream, "FUCK YOU BETTMAN!!!".

@mao2meow your an idiot when the wings first started throwing octopi on the ice you only needed 8 wins to win the stanley cup and it became a tradition so why would we change tradition you fuck

@mao2meow

lol what an agenda based opinion...im not a wings fan, but that tradition is no worse than any other one...its unique and has historical meaning. but yeah lets extend our arms and clap our hands together like a "shark"...now thats a stupid tradition.

@mao2meow Why would u want to ruin a tradition that has been going on for years? I bet if you were a Wings fan you wouldnt want it to end. With any team that has a tradition of any sort, it should not be fined.

They used to throw wet pennies-Prefer Teddy Bears-
