skolozsy2 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Next time I go to a game, I am going to do exactly this while wearing a jersey for the opposing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckmonk3y Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I agree that it would be cool but it would just never happen here. In Europe the songs they sing are pretty much a part of the culture, everyone knows them, everyone expects to sing them. Here you could try to introduce a song but no one is going to join in and chances are someone will call security on you for "ruining their experience" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skolozsy2 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'll wait for a Chicago game, get a pedophile haircut and do a jerky spaz like in that guy's signature GIF on the forum here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutesi Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Love the idea and wish we could have a unique cheering chant whether it would be a song like you mentioned or anything else. Unfortunately we live in North America where we don't have a majority of crazy passionate sports fans at the games that are willing to do this.

Rusty_Element Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 That was funny. I gave you a plus. Call me old school but I go to the game to watch hockey and have a few beers and really don't need, singing, chanting, contrived contests, cheerleaders, or pleas for being loud.

Grapefruits Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 This isn't soccer where you have countless time of nothing but boring where you need to fill up time and entertain yourself... so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_fo_life Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I brought this up years ago, and then thought to myself it would never work in Vancouver cause our fans are stuck up and snooty, especially those who sit in the lower bowl and are season ticket holders that show up in clothes to go to an opera. I once told this old geaser off at a playoff game vs St.Louis in 2003 when I was sitting lower bowl row 5. Bertuzzi knocked Macinnis into next year with a hit on the boards and the crowd went nuts, but I stood up and started yelling and waving my towel, the old dude behind me told me to sit down and that he's been a season ticket holder for a million years, I said "I dont know you and I dont care, call someone and kick me out, I dare you". He got scared and shut up the rest of the game. You think with people like this that we can emulate soccer fans in Europe?? Haha yeah right, this type of filth fills up like 3/4 of our arena, and then people bring their kids too, so good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Biestra Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Also, bear in mind, this is the market where fans at games: - throw salmon on the ice - women lift up their shirts and flash their breasts - men dress up in green unitards and do handstands - women throw bras on the ice - invented towel waving We aren't exactly that confined in a narrow comfort zone...

pimpcurtly Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I don't know about you but while the play is going on I actually like to...you know..WATCH the game, not do something that people do at baseball games. When something happens (big hit, goal, big save etc.) then I cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawn.3x Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 the advantage to singing would be it would really annoy the crap out of the businessman next to you on his blackberry. I say its worth it. Maybe then they won't come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section116 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Love this idea and also I've been saying since they moved from the PacCol that we need an organ in ROgers Arena. No amount of sound system technology can replace the sound of an organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tm085 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 A couple of posters in this thread is a awful reminder of why we are known to have the worst crowds in hockey. Half the crowd at a Nashville home game can make more noise than a full capacity Rogers Library crowd. Yea, it must suck doing the wave during play, 'oh heavens I'd have to left my fat arms up and it might rip my suit, my company only gives me 10 games a year to attend and this is what i have to put up with, sigh.'

Hank Moody Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Know what would be absolutely hilarious? What if we sang: and replaced "Jackson" with the last name of the opposing goaltender during playoff series? Imagine, after we're up 3-0 in the second period of a playoff game against Chicago, you have 20,000 people singing "I'm sorry Ms. Crawford! Hoooooooooo! I am for reaaaaal! Never meant to make your daughter cry, I apologize a trillion times!" Ok, maybe a little overboard, but i'm getting my creative juices flowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwnuck Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 there was a bunch of us talked about this last year... i think singing is a good idea!! i hate it when the crowd is silent... they sing nursery rhymes in england and change the words.
