OK... remember I AM female:D

What is the meaning behind the octopus/squid in these playoff games? Is it a Red Wing thing? Does it happen at games through the regular season too?
Curious minds want to know!:confused:

In Ice Hockey, why do Detroit Redwings fans throw squid onto the ice? I knew the answer but I've forgotten! - Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers

Thanks... but I just don't get it. The 8 tentacles have no meaning these days?? It's obviously a guy thing :)

Yea, it's a different playoff format now, with so many more teams the playoffs last much longer than just two series.

Someone just randomly decided to throw one on the ice... Guess it just carried over, haha.
