Relax. It was an octopus and not panties.

The dead octopus probably smelt better than the panties from a Detroit Redwings fan anyway.

FarhanLaljiTSN: Kronwall missed practice because his wife is in labor. Zetterberg took part in the full practice today. Still no timeline for his return.

Also, Datsyuk and Alfie missed Wings practice today. Dats still doesn't look right to me, when you get beaten down by the ice by Iggy (who isn't the fastest guy in the league), there's something wrong.

FarhanLaljiTSN: Babcock, "The stanley cup playoffs are for men... It takes you awhile as a young player to figure it out" #RedWings

Lol, hell of a way to shit on your up-and-comers. That'd really instill some confidence in me if I was a Red Wing.

I think they need a fresh coat of paint in the Wings dressing room at the Joe, Sly...

Datsyuk is definitely nowhere close to 100%.

apparently datsyuk and his wife just had a kid. same with kronwall, which is why they weren't at practice today

Pav's wife is in labor too, that's why he missed practice

yep I agree. its clear that Babcock has come to the end with this team, he has lost them. He needs to be FIRED immediately and given a one way ticket to Vancouver which is the ultimate punishment (and sign a 6 year deal)

Babs needs to bring out the McGill red tie on Thursday night.

List of NHL mascots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Al the Octopus is the eight legged mascot of the Detroit Red Wings. It is also the only mascot that is not costumed. In 1952, when east side fish merchants Pete and Jerry Cusimano threw a real octopus onto the Olympia arena ice, the eight legs represented the eight victories needed to secure a Stanley Cup in those six-team days. Since then, fans throw an octopus onto the ice for good luck. In one game in the 1995 Playoffs, fans threw forty-five onto the ice. Arena Manager and Zamboni driver Al Sobotka ceremoniously scoops them up and whirls them over his head, and play continues. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman forbade Sobotka from doing so during the 2008 playoffs, claiming that debris flew off the octopuses and onto the ice. Sobotka and the Red Wings have denied that this occurs, but even so Sobotka acquiesced and now twirls the octopuses once he departs the ice. In 2011 the NHL forbade fans from throwing any octopuses on the ice, penalizing all violators with a $500 fine. This has led to local outcry at the seemingly intentional destruction of a classic tradition. Red Wing's forward Johan Franzen has pledged to pay any and all fines as an attempt to continue the tradition.

That is awesome.
