Because in Detroit we throw octopi (in playoff season), and we ban assholes. I hope they caught that asshole and banned them from NHL games, what the fuck even.
Good on Simmonds for being professional even when the fans were not.

But I hope your trip to Vancouver runs like a dream and that your fears will turn out to be unneeded over there.
Sure! The 8-legged octopus thing was from back when it took 8 wins to win the Stanley Cup (instead of the 16 it does today - double octopus! all the way across the sky!). I think some fish market people started it a couple decades ago. You generally throw it in anticipation of those wins like at the beginning of a game, or near the end if you're winning, and to keep the mess down it's good to boil it first.

Oh, so kinda like when people bring brooms to baseball games for the last game of a possible sweep. I gotcha!
So I'mma guess the 8 wins were back before expansion, when it was just an Eastern and Western Conference, no divisions, and the top two played each other before facing the winner of the other Conference, or something like that?
