It is playoff hockey in Detroit, and that means octopus being thrown on the ice at Joe Louis Arena during Red Wings games. The picture above is from last year, but it looks like the same man, Al Sobotka, was back at it picking octopus up off the ice and spinning it around his head like Petey Pablo instructed him too.

He wasn’t the only one on octopus clean up detail either, though he might have been the more enthusiastic.
