Was this from last night? Listen, I got my fingers crossed, but it’s too early for that.

Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to.

Quite a few years back at the Joe my two buddies went to a game. A worker at the Joe singled out my one buddy and asked if he would want to throw one on the ice (they would provide it).
They said that after he throws it they will “escort him out” but it was just out and back to another section. Not sure if they still do this, but that’s what happened at the Joe to my friend.

I thought they stopped doing this a long time ago.

Ew. I forgot about that bullshit. Let’s harvest a highly intelligent, threatened marine animal and throw it over the glass. Zero class.

Barbaric and disgusting

Ask a friend with a pace maker to stash it in his…. Pants…

Octopuses are extremely intelligent creatures. What an absolute waste to toss their carcass on the ice.

Florida doesn’t throw real rats. How would Wings fans feel about throwing Fake octopi? Imagine the LCA handing out purple soft whiffle balls with streamers and encouraging fans to throw from the nose bleeds between periods.

Stooooooppppppppp doing this. I know where the tradition comes from and what it “represents.” I’m from Detroit and I love the Wings. But this is stupid and such a waste of SUCH a cool creature. At LEAST if you’re eating octopus it’s being used for something worthwhile. This is so f**king dumb. Also it no longer takes 8 wins to win the Stanley Cup so knock it off.

Pretty sure the workers work with you on throwing it out there. They had an octopus on stand by at last nights game cause Larkin scored twice. Good to have him back just in time for the playoffs so if Washington can lose tonight that’d be great.

this octopus shit is whack. octopus are too amazing and intelligent to be reduced to being thrown onto the ice by brain dead hockey fans.

No way security would stop someone with an octopus for a Detroit home game

I’ll go ahead and say it. This tradition is fucking stupid. You know nobody is eating that after they’re thrown on the ice. Intelligent species being killed for food, I can live with that. I won’t eat them, but wasting them like this is fucked up.

Unpopular opinion: this tradition fucking sucks.
And no, I’m not some overly sensitive vegan.

At the risk of being called out by some fan of Mongolian goat archery, I’m gonna say this has to be one of the weirdest traditions in sports.

That’s pathetic. This is like throwing a dog or a cat onto the ice. I get we eat animals, but to desecrate an animal is primal, low IQ behavior from brain dead idiots.

Whats with detroit and octopuses
I’ve always hated this.
