This webpage is about octopuses and how they connect with the NHL.

=who started it= There is only one team who still dose this. That team is the Detroit Red Wings. The person who started it was John Rederwel. The coches friend was John and he worked across the street and sold octopuses. Then in the playoffs at Joe Louis arena in Detroit, John threw a octopuse on the ice to represent how many wins you need to win the Stanly Cup. Once he did it everyone has kept it going.

=The Legend of the octopus= The legend of the octopuse is how many wins you need to win the Stanly Cup. Since there was or used to have 8 wins to win the Stanly Cup. There are 8 tenticoles on a octopuses arm. Then every home game of the playoffs, one of the fans would come down the steps and through a octopuse on the ice to think they would win the Stanly Cup. Thanks to John Rederwel this legend has come a far way and it is still going. Also, the Red Wings are really good so it actully looks like the legend of the octopus is real or is the legend real. = = = =

= = =The Tradition of the Legend= = = = = The tradition of the legend is that every home game is that they will throw a octopuse on the ice so that they will win the game. The percent of them winning the game is high. The percent of them winning the Stanly Cup is in the middle. No other team has done this tradition and will never do this ever. Now if you did this tradition it would mean something else.

= = = = =How is it Today= Today, it is the same. The same old tradition. It hasn't gotten old yet. Even if the tradition dosn't mean what it ment before it is still going on. Now you need 16 wins to win the Stanly Cup. Double the tenticles now to win win or just two tenticles. It might be different but it dosn't get old. The same old tradition is the best good luck charm to the Detroit people and it has helped a lot.
