Al The Octopus

The Zamboni game will never be the same after The Zammoth debut tonight 🔥🦣

@m_bultman @HockeytownRD @jprutherford @reporterchris @m_bultman from Wings official Twitter, Buchelnikov included in the deal

Factoring in role, profile and cost, I felt Justin Faulk was the best fit on the market for the Red Wings. They got him. Early story with @jprutherford and @reporterchris: nytimes.com/athletic/70212…

@pbr300 @woodwardsports It definitely looks like it

@woodwardsports Is he carrying Eruzione?

Dylan Larkin is unstoppable 😂

Kaner getting it done while in the Winged wheel is a treat, but Wings fans were robbed of having Ken Daniels to call the moment…88 would agree

@m_bultman Was the highlight of my night so far. The Wings did a great job, let’s get this W

Oh wow, how about this one: Tonight's anthem is being performed by Karen Newman

@m_bultman Will get a pop as soon as Wings start motoring here

Man, I can't express just how flat it is in this building

@m_bultman Great video

Trying out some video content to start this season. Here’s a little behind the scenes look at Red Wings training camp, and the set up in Traverse City instagram.com/reel/DOwppTkjF…

@WingedWheelPod Agreed, it’s great vibes kind of day….them scheduling it while hosting CAR was chef’s kiss

Feeling pumped up about Fedorov's jersey retirement, might mess around and get the gang together for a "Retire 91" emergency episode tonight. 👀🎙️

Kerby Joseph eating Purdy up

@BradGalli Is he celebrating the touchdown or fact he’s still getting paid a million a year? All the best to the Spartan Dawg and homegrown Wing

That’s former Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader in between Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s touchdown leap! Front page of the Detroit News coverage

Welcome back Fish!

@PierreVLeBrun Another year of Showtime in Detroit 👀 twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/sta…

Lucas Raymond is very good and this coming out party is nothing short of a warning shot across the bow of the rest of the league that dude is about to go off next season and perhaps later in this one should they qualify.

Nice moves and a great finish by Raymond to open scoring. 🚨 #LGRW

Unbelievable play by 88

Raymond! This guy keeps looking the part of guy who will be a star in the league #LGRW

Another day, another huge Red Wings game. Compher/Copp/Fischer line going to have a game #LGRW

@warrenrood @m_bultman Nice! Your work inspired the first one in Chicago #LGRW

@m_bultman I made sure one flew in Seattle

The Red Wings are in a playoff hunt for the first time in a long time. And that return to relevance has meant the resurgence of a beloved, eight-tentacled tradition. Story on the return of the octopus to Detroit, from the fans to the fish markets: theathletic.com/5365173

The Red Wings’ octopus-throwing dates back to April 1952. Detroit won the Stanley Cup that year, and the tradition was born. Now, in the thick of the playoff race, fans hope It keeps happening. @m_bultman on the oceanic origins of the practice and its return.

Awesome article as always by @m_bultman, must read for Wings fans interested in becoming part of the “Octopi Tossing circle”. It will be something I’ll remember forever. Thank you to Max for making the experience that much cooler #LGRW
