- widebhoy, on 11/28/2007, -0/+92I didn't get it a first but after looking at this wikipedia page it all makes sense. Good on 'em. "The toys are then gathered up to be donated as Christmas presents to hospitals and charities"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_bear_toss - benjaminbr, on 11/28/2007, -5/+91and they were all named mohammed?
- nblsavage, on 11/28/2007, -1/+65A world record? You mean there was an actual world record for number of stuffed animals thrown on to a hockey rink?
- mrASSMAN, on 11/28/2007, -2/+43haha someone threw a giant spiderman..
- Sabakkyu, on 11/28/2007, -1/+31Finally my nagging question of what 20,372 teddy bears shoved into a truck would look like has been answered.
- swiftekho, on 11/28/2007, -0/+26I'd hate to be one of the kids that gets one of the .2 teddy bears
- brizzad2, on 11/28/2007, -3/+25I hate crazy fox
- Torx, on 11/28/2007, -2/+16Did anyone else get a laugh when Venom got grappled and shook? That just didnt look right.. lol
- PaulPi3rce, on 11/28/2007, -2/+14Sweet Venom
- TomRemixed, on 11/28/2007, -0/+11I read this title thinking some fans threw a $20000 teddy bear onto an ice flow.
- chummel, on 11/28/2007, -0/+11I'm there for that game every year. Not only is it a wonderful thing to do for kids around the holidays, but you get to wip stuffed animals onto the ice (and at random people if you feel like it).
Last year some bank had donated 1 bear per seat (and they didn't score till overtime). This year there were 2 bears per seat. - l33tspam, on 11/28/2007, -1/+10OH GOD, HOW DID IT ESCAPE G4?!
- carpespasm, on 11/28/2007, -1/+10there is now if there wasn't before.
- Hoxie, on 11/28/2007, -0/+9and so it shall be
- chronichyjinx, on 11/28/2007, -0/+9Thats awesome, hopefully the kids that get them enjoy them (esp Spidey).
- agentmedia, on 11/28/2007, -2/+10there was an actual guy in that costume who later died of suffocation while at the bottom of the bear pile
- Hoxie, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8thats like 80 grand of teddy bears
jesus - Slashriffs, on 11/28/2007, -2/+93.2 teddy bears per person!
I'd hate to be the guy that had to count them all.. - spoodigity, on 11/28/2007, -1/+7The point was disallowed. Shortly thereafter all donated bears were destroyed in a horrific teddy bonfire due to inappropriate timing.
- princessToBe, on 11/28/2007, -3/+8television personality Stephen Colbert won a bet with the mayor of Oshawa, Ontario after claiming that a teddy bear toss during an Oshawa Generals game was held just to taunt Colbert about his fear of bears. As a result of the bet, March 20, 2007 was declared as Stephen Colbert day in the city.
- centran, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5Well it's better then throwing octopus! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_Octopus
Weird people those Detroit people. - WNW3, on 11/28/2007, -1/+6Bravo sir, Bra-Vo :)
- phunlee, on 11/28/2007, -1/+4Where is Stephen Colbert when we need him???!!!!

- inactive, on 11/28/2007, -1/+4W I N T E R H A W K S for teh win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Battleloser, on 11/28/2007, -1/+4LEAVE STEPHEN ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- charlie55, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO RUN A BUSINESS OF YOUR OWN
*****. i hate that *****. - bruenig, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Yeah they should have thrown copies of gm's quarterly earnings report.
- moskaudancer, on 11/28/2007, -2/+5"Mohammed", actually.
- blesbok, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3The funny thing is that you can see the ref wave off the goal right before all the bears start getting thrown, so the "later disallowed" part is just a cover up for "fans don't know hand signals".
But that is still really cool and for a great cause. :) - ieataquacrayons, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2I was wondering if they donated all the bears, I am happy to hear that they did. I really want to go to one of these games, has to be quite a sight.
- chronichyjinx, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2ahhhhhh hockey.... 8)
- NeoPoe, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Coolest Fans Ever.
- bencefeher, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2I thought they threw $20,000 teddy bears at Vanilla Ice.
- inactive, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Good ol' Portland. I should have gone to that game =P
- ch0pst1cks, on 11/28/2007, -3/+5I was impressed until I saw the goal was disallowed.
- LorenG123, on 11/28/2007, -1/+3i only counted 20,371
- blesbok, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Because if everyone did it at once there would probably be a lot of people whacking other people in the heads.
And I don't think everyone has the strength to throw a teddy bear from the nosebleeds to the ice, so there was probably a lot of rethrows. - oMeSSiaHo, on 11/28/2007, -3/+5They do that at Hershey Bears games, get it bears...
Its a strange mix after watching a group of people beat the ***** out of each other. - inactive, on 11/28/2007, -2/+4Then you counted WRONG you worthless pile of trash.
- jmpeagle, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2because there were more than 3 bears per person also, the people in the back could really only throw towards the ice but not necessarily over given the size of the bears. It might take multiple throws before it made it.
- Ocelot13, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2spiderman isnt a teddy bear!! blasphemy
- jmpeagle, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2someone beat you to the joke so you are being buried ...sorry...still buried
- centran, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2All the fans care about is hearing a goal buzzer. The bears start flying that very instant.
However, why was the goal disallowed. It looks like the shooter hit and budged the net with his follow threw... I am betting that is why. - 3th0s, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2They do this every year, its a pretty fun game to go to.
Funny seeing little 6 year old girls hauling gigantic teddy bears around all game and then finally try to heave them onto the ice unsuccessfully. - Calcularius, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1They were all named "Mohammed" except for two or three of them named "Jebus"
- psykiv, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1Poor Teddy Bears :( Being thrown like that :(
- amishjim, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1Good Stuff!
- Calcularius, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1BOBO!
