cmoosego Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Welcome TO Hockeytown...... need I say more? There are few traditions in sports that compare to those in the game of hockey. One such tradition is the throwing of octopi onto the ice at Red Wings games. Ever wonder how it started? The octopus first made its appearance on April 15, 1952, during the Red Wings' Stanley Cup playoff run. Two Detroit brothers, Pete and Jerry Cusimano - storeowner's in Detroit's Eastern Market - threw the eight-legged cephalopod on the ice at Olympia Stadium. Each tentacle of the octopus was symbolic of a win in the playoffs. Back then, the NHL boasted only six teams, and eight wins (two best-of-seven series) were needed to win the Stanley Cup. The Red Wings swept the series that year, and the Octopus has come to be the good luck charm ever since. The tradition carried over to Joe Louis Arena on opening night in 1979 when several found their way onto the ice. During the 1995 playoffs, Bob Dubisky and Larry Shotwell, co-workers at a meat and seafood retail company near Detroit, tossed a 38-pound octopus onto the ice during the National Anthem prior to Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. The year after, the duo struck again with a 50-pounder in the Conference Finals. Although the feat received no airtime on the nationally broadcast game, the octopus was proudly displayed on the hood of the Zamboni between periods.

CbrGirl Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Don't worry.. if you guys lose tonight I heard the 'Wings are gonna' let you keep the Cup for a while why they try to find room in the trophy case for it. Your a real pain in the ass! I don't think the Pens are going to lay down and give the game away tonight. I have faith in my team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
