You could make the argument that the enforcement of that rule is a violation of your first amendment rights. The throwing of an octopus is a symbolic expression of you wishing to motivate your team. The same way flag burning is protected under free speech.

The officer who apprehended and ticketed the thrower just called into the Vallenti and Foster program. He said that "We don't want to write the tickets because quite frankly we are fans too" and said that "We were forced to write it by the NHL" Note those aren't exact quotes, slight paraphrasing but still accurate.

Reported via 97.1 Franzen would help anyone pay the fine if caught. What a trooper.

I was thinking about this last night. I don't think the story is true because even if Bettman passes some stupid rule, I don't think he can have people arrested and taken to court unless it's against a city ordinance. The most he could do is have you thrown out and have to pay a fine if you ever want to attend a game again. If they take you to jail and court and make you pay a city fine then there has to be an ordinance or law against throwing an octopus on the ice. So let's blame city council. WAIT CONSPIRACY THEORY Bettman is working with city council to hurt the city of Detroit even more!

Let's all pitch in together and buy them! I'll throw in 20 bucks

Go Habs go!

Just because Salei doesn't do much on offense doesn't mean he's bad. He's a good defender which is at the end of the day what we pay him to do right? Sure he's no Lidstrom, but hey he's still good. And dirt cheap.

Your wish is my command

Just got back from the game. It was amazing. When we killed that 5 on 3 the whole crowd exploded in to cheers louder than I've ever heard in a long long time. And from that moment on it was just crazy. Only drawback was that I was looking for a phoenix fan to taunt, but then I remembered that there aren't any Also I'm not a fan of Jimmy Howard, but I have to give him huge props. He played his heart out tonight and it was great to see him not give up a bad rebound. *edit* Oh and props to our defense too, especially the PK. Our PK was simply amazing and I think our defense as a whole played solid. A much refreshing change from the past few weeks.

Lost post before I'm off to the Joe. GO WINGS

Also there better be those venom girls passing out venom after the game. I want free energy drinks damnit

The Coyotes have to do this kind of stuff. They have to pump themselves up somehow so they can at least be in contention. I don't know if anyone listened to 97.1 yesterday but Karsch and Anderson read a statement Doan gave in an interview saying something along the lines of "We should have won last year"

I second that notion, Wings in 5. And Pavel will not only be Ridiculous in April, but in May and into June as well.

Ancient Navajo legends tells of a fierce battle between the legendary warrior tribe and the evil coyotes. This is an artists rendition.

I foresee a lot of goalie interference calls, especially against us.

Great poem, just one question. No love for Ken Cal? What about people who might be driving home during the game?

Just out of curiosity, is anyone going to use the chatroom for the games this year? Last year there were quite a few people in there and it made the games very enjoyable. I at least prefer the chatroom over the game day thread because I don't have to hit refresh every two minutes.
