Obviously the man should not have "powered through" the security in order to throw his Octopus, but a lifetime ban seems absolutely ridiculous given the tradition.

Maybe we can. PETA started making a big push against the tradition right as the final season at the Joe was finishing, and also now as the first season at the LCA is beginning. How much Red Wings PR pays attention to that I don't know, but they've certainly heard the message if we have.

It's alarming that the organization went from looking the other way for years, to all of the sudden new building new rules, and started issuing lifetime bans. Pretty big shift in attitude at the drop of one octopus if you ask me.

well, if that's the case, then it means we have a bunch beta males running the organization.

There's a reason PETA and BETA are only separated by one letter

In today's day and age, I can see why they'd ban him for life.

Good ban that Canadian.

Stupid. Lets just put seatbelts in the seats so nobody can even get up and enjoy themselves. NO CLAPPING EITHER!

I just thought of something interesting.  Will they ban fans who throw hats on the ice after a hat trick?

Hats don't have feelings like dead sea creatures do

Is it any more dangerous for one fan to throw a dead octopus than a hundred fans throwing hats? 

It's easier to stick a bomb inside of a hat.

I'm not sure they're worried about that. Either way you'd have to wait for a hat trick. Also if you were going to throw a bomb on the ice I'm not sure you'd be worried you might be banned for life lol

My point is they likely don't want people throwing anything on the ice.

What are the hats made of? I say throw out hats made of leather or maybe coonskin. What if the hats are actually made of octopus? Take that PETA!
