| Re: 2008 Red Wings Playoffs
Sorry Red Wings fans. Poor Al...where would he come up with that kind of cash?  Quote:
Yin and yang..Abbott and Costello…hot chocolate and those tiny marshmallows…Dick Cheney and the dark side of The Force…Red Wings hockey and octopus twirling – some things just belong together.
But NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman in his endless quest to suck every ounce of fun out of hockey has decreed to the Red Wings that their Zamboni driving guy, Al Sobotka, may no longer twirl over his head the octopi that fans toss onto the ice. From now on when fans chuck internal skeleton-free critters onto the rink, Sobotka will have to remove them sans the twirling or face a $10,000 fine.
