Gordie Howe hat trick and 4 others reacted to thedisappearer for a post in a topic
Their tradition shouldn't be "we took the tradition of the team we were playing, twisted it to fit our geographic area, and acted like it made us cool". Develop your own tradition, don't steal it. -

I might be more receptive if they were playing someone else and still planning something. But you know if they were playing the Kings or Preds, the idea never would have been born. It's blatant immitation predicated entirely on the fact that we already do it. It borders on mockery. -

Early Penalty Watch For Game 1
Doc Holliday and one other reacted to SDavis35 for a post in a topic
This. There has never been a conspiracy against the Wings or for another team, regardless of how much one would want to believe it. If anything, it's a psychological thing - we as fans see brutal calls and missed calls that appear as though we've been destined to lose by the refs; the refs may like the story and start looking (subconciously) for the favourite's penalties more than the underdog. Good teams find a way to win. No Fear, No Excuses, No Mercy. -

All those wannabes in other cities need to realize you can't just make up a tradition because you'er bored, it takes time and has to stand for something. -

If they had any clue what the octopus toss originally stood for, perhaps they'd change their minds about using an animal that looks like a one. I don't even want them to win that many, but hey, if tossing a snake gets them their one playoff victory and a bunch of their fans kicked out of the arena Wednesday, well I guess they've proved their point. -

From the comments: Of course not. Why would all those Wings fans be throwing snakes? Oh, they meant the 250 Coyotes fans. My mistake. -

How about Danny Cleary?
Namingway and one other reacted to cmonster for a post in a topic
Danny boy is a heart and soul guy. A blue collar lunch pail kinda guy. Teams don't succeed w/o guys like him. You could just as easily see him going to work the assembly line at Ford. He adds some grit to all the skilled euro's. Simply, he is a blue collar guy who endears himself to a town like Detroit. -

If we have to play the Crosbyburgh Crosbys AGAIN in the Cup Finals, I might hang myself. -

Quick question regarding possible Cup Final "Rubber Match"
Drake_Marcus reacted to toby91_ca for a post in a topic
It's only happend once....54 years ago when there were only 6 teams in the league. Montreal and Detroit made the finals from 1954-1956. -
1 pointIt's not 'thier own tradition' or 'thier idea'. It's ours, that they are trying to copy and modify. At least the rat-trick thing had some backing behind it. This is just lame mimicry. How about they come up with something that doesn't involve throwing some kind of animal on the ice. How about they howl at the moon, or chase a roadrunner, or encroach on to suburban areas and kidnap small dogs from the backyards of elderly ladies. (Ok, that last one is a bad idea, but you get my point.) (Side note, an elderly lady in my neghborhood did recently lose a small dog, and a coyote has been seen in the area several times. It is really getting out of hand.)

Gordie Howe hat trick reacted to SouthernWingsFan for a post in a topic
Gotcha, that's cool. They got to start somewhere though, whether in the grand scheme of things or ideas don't work out in the end. When you start from pretty much scratch, there are very rarely any bad ideas. And some of your best money makers or ideas is just simply doing something similar that another person/group does, and just slightly altering it to whom you are trying to promote to. Nothing wrong with that. I know it's hate Phoenix for the next 2 weeks but I'm all for fan bases trying to have fun and encourage participation as long as they do it without being degrading or hurting people or whatever. Don't see a problem in them doing this. -

I think tradition has to come about naturally, and not just be made up because fans want to throw junk on the ice. -

As a python breeder I'm just happy they plan on using plastic snakes instead of dead ones. Oh, and it's funny that they think the issue is that they'd be thrown out. The NHL has had a rule for this since the crazy rat throwing incident in the Panthers-Aves finals and the result is that the home team would be assessed a minor penalty for delay of game. -

Drake_Marcus reacted to Lidstrom for life for a post in a topic
Bring signs to the game. It doesn't matter what they say because they aren't to show support, but just in case you have Wing fans behind you you can totally ruin their game experience and discourage them from coming to future games. Wow. Just wow. -

You Wings fans in Phoenix will have to look out! Now that the Coyote faithful have taken to the internet to spread the word, all 250 fans might be at every game trying to drown out the 20,000 of you. -

The Hart Trophy
Free_Candy reacted to crotty99 for a post in a topic
Yes two games against the Islanders disqualify Sid from Hart contention. If you didn't notice the pens only just managed to win that game in OT. Pens might not even be in the playoffs if it weren't for Sid's play. He definitely deserves it.
