the Detroit Red Wings have one of the longest and most storied histories in all of Hockey. Their dominance in the 1952 Playoffs, spawned one of the ODDEST traditions in sports, Throwing Octopus onto the ice. The story includes TWO brothers with the last name Cusimano, who thought the eight tentacled Octopus, would be a great symbol for the eight straight wins the Red Wings needed to win a Stanley Cup!

Islanders fans throw beer
certified Detroit classic😂
Okay ludwig
I love turning throwing a lifeless sea creature onto ice into a tradition.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU- Some guy
It was cold 😂
The salmon is a nod to pike place market and the the fish throwers there
So all we need to win is just octopussy now
Most ignorant and archaic tradition in hockey, and I’m a big Wings fan. It’s 2023, folks. We don’t need to be wresting creatures from their habitats only to hurl them onto ice. Stop and think about how stupid and barbaric that is.
Apparently it's antisemitic…. kek smfh
Shout out to the eastern market and shout out to the mafia 😂
Of course, this weird tradition originated in Detroit.
OCTO ZOMBİE İN OHİO
Lets goo
So it’s okay and funny for these people to throw octopus like this but when an Asian person eats it, it’s gross and everybody automatically hates/ talk down on Asian/ Asian food lol
We seriously need to make an Al jersey, with that purple and red color
And the panthers throw rats onto the ice after each win. Lightning throw bolts onto the ice.
Catfish?🤣🤣
We need an official Octopus Franchise…
The rats
So dumb…
You'd think since octopus having multiple brains they'd be smart enough not to get caught.
