Watch out below Dive Fans. Detroit residents and Wing fans are aware of the company, Superior Fish. Kind of a “tradition” around Hockeytown parts. Well, guess what SF’s shipped out the last few days, destination Denver?
Cases of octopus. Several cases of octopus.
Giddy up.

Um… how original. Maybe someday Detroit fans will get one of those whatchamacallits ... oh, yeah: a life.
Enjoy the semis, guys. Think the finals are gonna hurt. A lot.

Unfortunately, the smell of the typical RW fan entering the Can will probably mask the octopus smell sufficiently. And the typical RW fan girth will give them a chance at hiding even the largest octopi beneath their nacho stained jersey. This is a sad state of affairs.

Oh Jesus, here we go, a Dallas fan shows up early. Just make sure your boys take care of their own business, and we’ll make sure we do to Turco what we always do to him once we’re done with the Dive.

Here’s to hoping that Bob gets hit in the head with an octopus. CHEERS!!

Sadly I won’t be at the game. But here’s hoping that some transplanted Detroit fool spends his last unemployment check on a ticket to tonight’s game and an octopus, and never gets a chance to throw the damn thing because the Wings get slaughtered.

In Detroit we throw octopi to inspire the team.
In Colorado, they throw Paris Hilton at their goaltender.
You tell me which smells worse….
Suck it haters.

Mother gets her sponge baths on Tuesday nights, huh Boob?

Um… how original.
actually, it’s extremely original. it has been a Detroit tradition, originating in Detroit, for decades. if there’s anything more original than that, I’d like to know what it is.
wtf, I just got a text from Yahoo saying the game is 1-0 Detroit with 5:28 left in the first period. Did they start early?
Yahoo appears confused.

you do know that if Dallas and Detroit play, it’s in the semis, right?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 06:42 PM ET
Wow, ignorant comments by multiple haters already!
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 04/29/08 at 06:45 PM ET
Just goes to show you how sharp Dallas fan are, eh, Paul?
Posted by Chris from Columbia, Tennessee on 04/29/08 at 06:46 PM ET
“sharp Dallas fan are”
Classic. (not that I like Dallas fans either)
Posted by Bob from Boulder on 04/29/08 at 06:49 PM ET
I believe the Stool fan was referring to the conference semis, gents.
Sometimes you “accidentally forget” to bring the sponge, don’t you Boob?
Does Mummy enjoy her foamy, Boob?

I believe the troll is saying Western Conference Final. Cause, you know, they have forgotten what a Stanley Cup final is. Or maybe he was saying we’ll lose in the Stanley Cup final. How nice of you.
Yahoo appears confused
No, there just trying to jock my prognosticationary powers.
because the Wings get slaughtered.
Seriously? Are you delusional? When was the last time the Wings got “slaughtered”?
Talk shit tomorrow Bob; Joe and Shane had some sportsmanship in them and came by after.
MMM mmm mm… I feel me some hatred. Thank your lovely wife chief (see previous posts if you misunderstand that comment)

O-Joe, I knew what he meant by “semis” but my previous entry still applies.
Posted by Chris from Columbia, Tennessee on 04/29/08 at 07:09 PM ET
You can just forget about this series. I think it’ll be a huge accomplishment if the Avs don’t get swept. This is Nuggets-Lakers, the hockey version.

I know. it just shows that he considers the Conference Finals the “final”. not at all how Red Wings fans think, and that’s the point.

I wonder if there’s any way that the MANY transplants that will be in attendance tonight could possibly throw enough octopi on the ice at The Can to get a delay of game penalty called on the Dive. I’d laugh my ass off.
