Unrest under the sea

Crazy Shanahanigans are afoot over the banning of octopus throwing at the Joe. So we here at Hockey Blogette sent our friend and special under-the-sea correspondent Aaron Downey to get the reaction from nineteen thousand leagues under the sea.



When Downs arrived under the sea he quickly discovered that the new ruling by the NHL had pissed off the entire cephalopod community.


Gertude was so stunned that she refused to allow her children to hear the news.

After searching for a long time we finally got someone to give a statement on what it really means to the octopoda community to be hurled onto the ice.


But the Octopus that we really wanted to get a comment from was no where to be found. After hours of searching and a tip from someone named Molin Smampbell we finally found our guy.


Al the Octopus was visibly upset when we caught up to him while he was putting the squeeze to deputy NHL commissioner Bill Daly in an effort to find Gary Bettman. When asked for comment on why he was looking for the NHL commissioner the famous octopus had this to say.

"I just want to... have a nice chat with Gary Bettman before game two. That's it... a chat"

After hours of pressure, Daly finally gave up the location of Bettman's super secret super cool fun fort. As soon as Al hit the road for Sidney Crosby's backyard in Pittsburgh, warnings began to appear by authority of Bill Daly.



So while we here at Hockey Blogette wait to see the fall out of Octogate 2011 our eight armed friends under the sea are wishing they could be part of our world.




But in all seriousness...

DON'T MESS WITH TRADITION!
