Dragon Flames Keep Detroit Hockey Fans Stoked

PLSN: "The number 8, a vertical symbol of infinity, is also an emblem of good luck in sports, from Beijing to Detroit. Hence the 08/08/08 start date for the Summer Games, and the tradition among Detroit Red Wings fans for heaving an octopus out onto the ice. (That tradition is so strong that fish mongers in Pittsburgh refused to sell octopi to anyone wearing a Red Wings logo before the Stanley Cup finals began at the Penguins’ home arena on May 24.)"
