you can't argue with science, gary bettman

Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the NHL, recently issued a league rule intended to stop the twirling of octopi at Red Wings games. While popular conspiracy theory holds that this was a crap stunt instigated by the crybabies over at the Anaheim Ducks, Bettman attempted to justify the garbage rule by claiming that bits of octopus might fly off of any twirling cephalopod and muck up the surface of the ice.

While many Red Wings fans reacted to the news with shock, horror, and google searches for Bettman's office address so we might fed ex him some stanky octopus in protest, other intrepid souls strapped on their scientist hats and broke out the empirical evidence.

Eat this Bettman. And this.

Now give us our danged octopus-twirling back and go do something useful in that fancy office of yours.

Bettman's an idiot. Why do they keep his dumb ass around?

This stinks of a crap stunt meant to preserve some sort of coastal franchise on major league sporting event trophies. You can't keep the Midwest down, Bettman!
