OT: 40-Minute game delay due to flying bears
 

What's the longest game delay you've ever had?

Hopefully not as long as this:

Thank God they don't throw that many octopuses onto the ice at Detroit Red Wing games.

That would mean there were a lot of hot moms there then ;)

I saw the article and wondered if anyone would post this on the Hockey Forum.

NOPE, here it is! ;)

Maybe someone can move it over there. (he said hopefully)

Hence why I marked it first as OT, also I figured more responses would happen here compared to it posted on the Hockey Forum

Oldie, But Goodie ...
 

Good point; no one cares about hockey.

Unless of course you actually play.

I also started this thread with a question as to what's the longest delay anyone has ever been through.

I'm not sure all those who play hockey even care about the NHL. I play billiards now and then but couldn't care less about whatever professional league they have.

Hockey is just soccre for Canadians.

As for the longest delay I've had; just a few minutes for lights, injuries, blood on the floor, or me tying my shoes.

I know not all that play in the Western Hockey League care about playing in the NHL. Some are playing to be able to get into college. (WHL has a scholarship program for the players)

To some of the WHL players, it's a bonus to be able to play in the NHL.

Majority of the delays I've seen/heard about in basketball have been for injuries, lights, or other technical difficulties.

Ok this has GOT to be Padgett under a pseudonym.

Disagree
 

I haven't seen a "T," a HOT mom. or "competitive 3rd graders" mentioned once. It simply can't be him.

Padgett generally uses proper grammar; eagle does not.

Yet somehow all the US television networks play re-runs of The Miracle On Ice time and time again.
