No way that happens. The confetti clean up would be ridiculous to deal with in the middle of the game.

It would probably require too much coordination seeing as most fans won't even know what it is. Would be awesome to see though if enough people got into it!

No it wouldn't come on now, unless you're that inebriated, it takes seconds to learn.

[Green Building]

As awesome as that would be, I'm not sure that an arena full of people that haven't heard of it before wouldn't be clapping entirely out of sync. I'd love to be proved wrong.

 

Prove me wrong on Friday Rogers Arena!

Seconds to learn if you've watched the video already, and aren't going blindly into it being led by a whale hitting a drum. I'd expect people to clap with the drum, and not around it. Or that a large percentage would get it, and the rest would muddle it up.

 

Is that being too negative? Maybe it is, I figured it's just being sadly realistic.

[Where'd Luongo?]

Can someone actually contact the canucks and make this happen?! They could hand out instructions at the door to help the lesser minds figure it out.

 

I wish I lived in Van, I'd love to be at this game.

[Green Building]

I'll cancel my plans on Friday and travel to Vancouver to do pre-game demos outside of Rogers Arena. I just need a giant attention grabbing sign that says "Learn it for Hank" or something, a loaner drum, and a pair of tickets to the game. 

 

edit: drum...

 

Couple booths like that should spread the word real quick to the people filtering in.

Put two "clappers" next to Fin on the jumbotron...as long as Fin does the correct beat everyone will follow. Damn this team has huge Swedish ties now anyways.

[Neko]

That would be really funny to see at a hockey game, hope it happens.

And also some cheerleaders with blue and green pompoms skating on the ice.

i absolutely love it!!!make it happen,i'm icelandic irish !!!both parents born in B.C.

[beni]

That would be a game worth going to.

[Dumb Nuck]

Well with ticket sales down and a sharp decline in suits at games there may just be enough fans to make it happen, I love the idea and hope it does happen, he deserves it, As for a tradition after every goal, you can't force it but we sure as heck could use an identity,

[TheOgRook]

As a direct descendant of Vikings, and one who bares a Viking name... I approve this message!  Might even have tickets for tomorrow fingers crossed

If I get an extra ticket you can come but it'll be a date night so no third wheel junk

Interesting idea, but if Henrik wants it then let it be done!

*Did anyone else get the "Russian Soldiers Sing Barbie Song, Funniest Video You Will See Today' pop up on the right?

Proof positive of this is the night we helped that actor gent (can't remember his name). Finish the anthem... It sounded like different songs being played seconds off of each other.  Acoustics can be a hell of a thing! And that's a song we know!

Or Edler and Loui with viking horned helmets on to come to center ice and lead the crowds clapping 

[cripplereh]
