I Am The Octopus

You Can Be The Walrus
The Red Wings acknowledge their Fans at Joe Louis Arena
following their record-breaking 21st straight home win.
I don't think the Beatles saw this one coming.

Though sports writers who favor opposing teams are going to try and discredit this achievment as best they can - they can be the Walrus -  we'll just be happy enough being the Octopus.

Rules have indeed changed since the 1929 Boston Bruins.  A whole lot of rules.  But not every rule change has made it easier to match or break an amazing win-streak on home ice or it would be happening more often than three times a century.

We here in SE Michigan are going to celebrate and respect this accomplishment no matter what you Penguins, Flyers and Rangers say.

Congratulations Red Wings
