I don't love the chants, just because they seem....IDK. Inorganic? But they have a fantastic crowd

Their crowd is amazing. IMO the issue with the chants is just that they seem locked into doing a “bit”. I’ve seen this happen with rock bands before. When they’ve been touring for a long time, what started as a spontaneous crowd interaction gets replicated over and over by the traveling superfans, and eventually it gets to a point where there’s almost a scripted crowd interaction for each song. Some people really enjoy the insider feel of knowing all the cues... personally I find it cheesy and a lot less moving than a genuine, spontaneous crowd response.

The Rammstein concerts have gone into this. They have MASSIVE structures built for a tour, with various sorts of bells and whistles and pyrotechnics to be utilised, but the supposed rock concert is very literally become a scripted show that repeats itself as is from city to city.

I get what you are saying and don’t completely disagree. Still, if the fans love doing the chants, then to me, it doesn’t matter if it’s rehearsed or nonorganic.

first time I went to a baseball game in Japan was the Tokyo (Yomiuri) Giants vs the Hiroshima Carp. The game was so much fun as fans of the team at bat would chant, blow horns, etc. the entire time their team was at bat, and it was clearly rehearsed and organized, but man were they into it. Then the opposing team would do the same when their team was at bat. There were songs after every run or home run.

it was all rehearsed, but incredible and you could see the fans were into it. Was really cool

Canes Twitter team has really lost their way. The last few have felt less “memey” and more kicking a team while they’re down. Like, I don’t think they even put up a “Thanks for a great series” tweet that most teams do when they move on.


They did compliment them, and hit the note of southern hockey.

I think this tweet pushed Nashville to block Carolina:



While that must pour salt in the wound for Nashville, I couldn't help but find it funny myself. As I was reading that meme, I realized that among other reasons, there is great potential for a rivalry between Carolina and Nashville (if we ever are in the same division permanently) with arguing over who has the loudest arena in the NHL.

I generally agree with this, but will note that they did post this before the other stuff:



Edit: Ah, Sigurd beat me go it.

Here’s how it works in these parts.

HOME TEAM USUALLY OCCUPIES SIDES AND THE PLACE BEHIND AWAY TEAM’S GOAL (IN ODD PERIODS).

SPACE BEHIND THE NET IS CALLED “POT” (AS IN MELTING POT, NO WEED JOKES INTENDED)

Pot has both stands and seats. Stands are occupied by folks with drums and shiet and (usually) hardcore fans who are the chanting center. So yeah, stuff being organised? STANDARD PROTOCOL.

+1..I've been to several Japanese BB games too....organized structure plays into their society of course.

given the complimentary tweet- that is a bad reason to block them. I mean if you have a "cock-rock" band from literally 20 years ago playing during intermission, then you are f***ed up like a football bat

I'm happy that the Predators fans have their thing going on. Remember it wasn't that long ago that the Blackberry guy wanted to relocate them to Ontario, right when they were on the cusp of competing for the first time. Losing that market would have eventually been a huge blow for the league.

Totally agree. I think they have a great atmosphere both live and on TV, and I’m SUPER glad they’re around to be this cool unique thing instead of the Hamilton Redundants being the 3rd most popular team in Ontario.

Preds fan coming in peace...

Great series and a tip of the cap to you guys. That series was super close, probably closer than it shouldve been, but you guys have a very solid team and a great coach. Usually I despise whoever eliminates us but consider me on the bandwagon cause I want you guys to demolish Tampa :laugh:

Im also glad we were able to really show off our crowds even moreso, easily the loudest series so far.

Their live performance actually made headlines many years back. It was the on-stage oral sex that caused some agitation.
