Five for Reading - There's no hockey again edition

PrintI'm starting to have some hockey withdrawls. I rewatched part of the Red WIngs game I recorded the other day to help get me through. Hopefully this All-Star stuff is at least somewhat entertaining.
NBC actually has something power rankings like. Hey. we're 12th in their poll, so i'm not gonna knock it.
ESPN has some good information from everyone's favorite commissioner Gary Bettman. Not a huge fan, but at least he mentions all the other teams that have made it through similar problems.
NY Times reports about Wayne Gretzky searching for and meeting with potential investors. That's another good sign. Wayne has to be the face of the franchise right now.
Coyotes Hip Check finally got her thoughts about the Red WIngs game up. Hey! I been waiting for like... 2 days! :-P
Also, the Diva writes about the WIngs game and about Red WIngs fans throwing Octopi onto the ice with 5 seconds left. Seriously? I'd have gotten that thing out of wherever it was hidden right at the beginning. You can't bring much into the games, so it beats me how they actually smuggled that in. Is that an octopus in your pants sir?

Octopus smuggling...
There is a certain “octopus etiquette” that is supposed to be followed. (The moronic Phoenix Red Wings fans did not follow it….) Here’s how its supposed to go: first, they are supposed to boil the octopus for at least 20 minutes on high heat with a little lemon juice and white wine. This will mask it’s odor and reduce the amount of slime. A raw, dead thrown octopus would result in a smelly ball that would stick to the ice upon impact and possibly leave an inky stain. A well-boiled octopus however, will bounce and roll across the surface of the ice.
Then, the octopus has to be smuggled into the arena. They place the octopus in a plastic bag and tape it to their belly, to give the appearance of a beer belly. The only appropriate time to throw the octopus out onto the ice is immediately following the singing of the National Anthem or after the Red Wings have scored a goal (Danny’s octopus was thrown after Enver’s goal).
So there ya have it…
