“This is AL THE OCTOPUS from the Joe Louis Arena and the Detroit Red Wings. This is a piece of hockey history, the Red Wings Dynasty. Your chance to own a piece of hockey history. 30,000 OBO
This breaks my heart to sell but I know it could be put to good use somewhere at a sports bar or someone’s storage garage for cars or other things in Michigan or whoever is a big Detroit Red Wings fan.
Every piece is signed by Al Sobotka, the Zamboni driver for years at The Joe.
I planned on keeping it forever, but I had cancer years ago and permanently beat it, but some bill caught up with me and I want to be debt free in my new life. This would help.
I know this will be the ultimate bragging piece for a Detroit Red Wings fan.
The legs come off to get it through doors. apparently they use wood and glue and a little wrap to put it back together every year for the playoffs and you’d never know. This is how they stored it every offseason. off with the legs, and back on.
Feel free to reach me personally. If my finances chance soon I will remove this ad, but right now, I could use this to pay off some bills fast.
I know this will make someone really happy, and shoud be in a restaurant, sportsbar or huge fans hands.”
