holy fuck was a sick atmosphere at the game today. got pretty buzzed and had a great time. fans were all heckling eachother but it was in good fun. leafs fans were so loud and obnoxious in the beginning of the game, and then after the 1st they just stayed quiet. sick game

The salmon has been a tradition with the Canucks - well since 1994 playoffs.
Ever since Detroit Red Wings fans started the octopus thing in the 1950's, fans from other rinks have been doing all kinds of other shit. Florida Panthers threw rats onto the ice because a player killed a rat in the dressing room before a game they won - it spurred them on to many a wins. The Detroit thing with the Octopus was because back then, it took 8 wins to take the cup (8 tentacles of the octopus).
The salmon signifies the west coast, the legendary struggles of the Pacific Salmon, etc. I remember the salmon being thrown during game 6 of the 1994 Stanley Cup finals (Pacific Coliseum.
I just hope today's salmon was not a fricken farmed Atlantic Salmon, but the real thing.
Well he is pretty much a proven 20goal scorer. playing with Malkin, he will continue to be pretty easily. I think the pens are banking on the fact that he will probaby be a 40 goal scorer in this league and at 5mil a season that would be a bargain. Posted via RS Mobile

The Panthers player was Scott Mellanby. I don't remember specifically but I think he had a monster game, scoring a hatty? and then went on some crazy scoring streak. Played his best hockey there
