The Octopus and the Orange

We all know that there will be somebody in the arena tonight that will be smuggling octopuses in there pants in hopes of them lobbing them to the ice after a Ducks loss. I must say I cannot wait for those avid Wings transplants to have to sit through a whole game with a smelly octopus's under the chairs wondering when they will be able to get rid of it after of which I predict will be a “sucky” loss.

Tradition, ah yes, more specifically hockey tradition lends it self to such idiosyncrasies of a fans imagination. The "Legend of the Octopus" is one of the most famous legends in hockey history. Red Wings fan’s thing it brings good luck.

The eight legs were purportedly symbolic of the eight wins it took to win the Stanley Cup at the time. The Red Wings went on to sweep both of their opponents that year en route to a Stanley Cup championship. The NHL has, at various times, tried to eliminate this tradition but it continues to this day.

So what about us? What do you think of tossing oranges to the ice. I mean as far as weight goes I think it’s about the same than some blubbery octopus? Anyone want to google it. The oranges on the ice could be easily smuggled by men, possibly some women.(front butts). Oranges Hmm? I don’t know. Okay if somebody wants to try it I swear I will love you forever. I would do it myself but I have no tickets to the game - I have my own hockey game I have to play in tonight.

So if anybody wants to get a little creative with this thought let me know. Anaheim needs it’s own traditions now. We are making history, we have made history, we are becoming one of the best teams in the NHL and are building a better team everyday. So good luck Ducks and I’m out.
