I really hope I'm the only one who finds this completely inappropriate. I'm just waiting for PETA (or some other agency) to step in. You just don't do this to an animal, octopus or any other type. Common sense people!
@ the bold. I don't think that's what you met.

Also PETA kills puppies, and is too busy comparing pork to the holocaust or slavery to do more than write a strongly worded letter. Thing is, NHL already banned it so who are they going to write to, the fans?

Also, to my knowledge the octopus is already dead, not thrown on the ice live. Considering the fact that octopus is often eaten so fresh that the tentacles are still moving this is not necessarily a step down in humane treatment of the cephalopods that will rule the earth after they learn to walk the land. Considering how people treat live seafood anyway, i'm not sure this is a departure.
