In case they remove it. here's the text: Bob Miller has been the voice of the Los Angeles Kings since 1973, which means he's seen it all: Losing, bad uniforms, Gretzky, good uniforms, Bruce McNall, losing, that creepy third jersey and, of course, losing. In a great new interview with Inside the Kings, Miller reviewed today's Los Angeles Kings while sharing some great memories -- like the most bizarre thing to happen in the arena while he was on the air: "On March 5, 1988, some fan threw a live chicken on the ice in the first period while the game was in progress at the Forum. The chicken had what looked like a blue napkin on his back and was so scared it sat motionless and soiled the ice. Play continued for about 30 seconds as Kings players skated and stickhandled around the chicken until the referee stopped play and the chicken was removed."
Gotta play around the chicken; don't wanna risk getting whistled for a stick fowl. My, how times have changed: Instead of just smelling it on the ice, now the Kings actually play like chickenshhhhh ... uh, poop.
I like how he highlights all the losing the Kings' history.....

Teams should toss stuff that's relevant to the team they supports' name when they approve of their performance...
Like The sharks should throw a shark on the ice
Montreal just tosses one of their fans
The panthers toss kittens
The capitals toss an eagle
And the Wild....they toss Bear Grylls on the ice
what if...............the kings fans threw a chicken on the ice during a Wild-Kings game and then the minnesota fans threw Bear Grylls on the ice....and Bear ate the chicken.
An Octopus was thrown in Detroit to signify, at the time the tradition started, the eight wins needed to win the Stanley Cup.
Octopus - eight tentacles, eight wins.
The chicken was thrown because the Kings, on average, win two games for every playoff round they've played.
Chicken - two legs, two wins.
It's true!
The Kings have won on average 1.91 (round it up to two) games per playoff round they've played in.
How do you sneak these live animals into big events? Chickens at Alice Cooper. Bats at Ozzy Osbourne. And again, Chickes, this time at a Kings game. A teenage Chris Osgood should have jumped on the ice and bit the head off of the chicken and everyone could chant: OZZY! OZZY!

I was at that game and the reason the Chicken was tossed on the ice because during that time the Kings were playing with no heart, getting pushed around, and played like well CHICKENS.

So 1988 was pretty much like every other Kings season.
