Cern 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Has an online petition ever, EVER worked? You wanna target this issue properly, do it at the Joe itself. Swing the octopus over your own head before throwing it onto the ice. Get a plush octopus and swing it over your head during the game. Add a fake 10 000$ cheque to Bettman tied to the octopus when you throw it. If one guy isn't allowed to follow tradition, have several thousand take his place.

Vincanni 1 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Can't see any real fan not signing that. How do you like that Fence-sitters, I'm questioning your dedication to the team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 I for one am in for signing the petition. Also, we should get a donation going to help Al pay the fine if it comes to that. It is typical NHL and Bettman to impose suck a rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Has an online petition ever, EVER worked? No, probably not. However, it does make us feel better. And, who's to say this won't be THE petition to work? You wanna target this issue properly, do it at the Joe itself. Swing the octopus over your own head before throwing it onto the ice. Get a plush octopus and swing it over your head during the game. Add a fake 10 000$ cheque to Bettman tied to the octopus when you throw it. If one guy isn't allowed to follow tradition, have several thousand take his place. Believe me, I would LOVE to. Geographically and budget-arily however, I cannot. The fake check/sign idea is great and I hope we can see 1000 of them per game for the rest of the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 I say we just do something better. We need to steal his cell phone, just for a day or so. Txt message some sexual messages to some male underling at the NHL office, then replace the phone. Out him and make him resign. Either that or we could just pay whatever stupid fine there is. BTW WTF So you can hire Mascots and cheerleaders to incite fans but not a rink manager???? Problem solved, just give Al another paycheck for being a mascot. GO TO HELL GARY. Side story, when the lock out ended I was at the joe with a Fire Bettman Sign. The ushers tore it down.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Signed it with my real name. Didn't know we had an option not to I would encourage all who leave comments to leave ones that will reflect well on the Wings and show that we are a solid group of fans, and not sound like immature teenagers. I realize that right now we are probably interested in swearing at Bettman, but that sort of thing gets nothing done as far as getting through to the stuffed shirt type. Not telling anyone what to say, just asking people to think about it before they go off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EuroTwinLove40 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Just wondering, but is there any way to edit the grammar mistakes? It doesn't really matter, but it just might make it sound a little more credible, ya know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

savaking72 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Bettman is an ass, and I would proudly love to shove my size 11 boot right up it. I really wish he would go back to hell where he came from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 You knwo what will work... If we get their numbers and call them. Anyone in the league, numbers lets get them. I have done this before with NFL officals and such. Not great results but at least they get annoyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
