Crowds are back, best crowd?

[Kevin27NYI]

Isles>anyone else

poll was done too early

 

[CanadianCoyote]

Isles and Florida have easily been the loudest in the postseason so far. Carolina's not far behind.

 

[Svechhammer]

PNC Arena will increase to >15,000 fans for the next game, be it Game 7 against Nashville or Game 1 against Tampa.

yeah pretty much. And the Isles got trolled on here for years for “not having any fans” lol.

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

How ‘bout Game 6 at the Old Barn, ehh?

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Oh and hurricanes hit Long Island too, just in case the ole Miss guy was wondering.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

The Isles and Hurricanes have had great crowds.

Honestly, they’ve all been pretty good. Denver sounded pretty damn loud on TV for only having 7,500.

Amazing what happens when fans don’t feel like they’re wasting their money on a bad, or poorly run, organization. Refusal to spend that money is their only real way to voice their dissatisfaction.

 

[LMFAO]

Meanwhile gyms are closed until mid August in Ontario lol

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Didn't see it on the list, but Nashville looked awesome.

The Coli was really freaking loud too for being limited.

The Bolts are not even close to keeping it at 50% or less capacity. Both games I've been to have been 75% at least, but crowd was decent.

 

[Roboturner913]

Look, everybody is loud.

Differences in decibel level have way more to do with A) how many fans are being allowed in the stands in the first place and B) the acoustic properties of the arena.

There are no geographical or cultural disparities that would explain why fans would be louder at place A versus place B. The only thing I can think of that might temper enthusiasm and/or "loudness" is average age, but I can't imagine there are major difference in that from one city to the next either.

 

[Ondrej The Giant]

Best crowd? Still Winnipeg:

 

[These Are The Days]

Lol at the purposeful exclusion of Tampa. Even HF fans how how freaking bad we are. You'll have 19,000 people and it's as quiet as a library in there

 

[Super Hans]

Best crowd? Still Winnipeg:

Sorry, I can't endorse an entity that contributes to inflating the hard seltzer market and making the beer selection at the package store smaller and smaller.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Islanders
Nashville
Carolina


Everyone else.

I mean, seats sold are seats sold. It probably looks closer to 75% capacity than it actually is because people help cover up the empty seats very nicely. I also would wonder just how many of the seats in the 300 sections are being sold, the areas you never see from television (I'm well aware you have season tickets so you'd have been at the games in person).

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Gonna miss the Nashville crowd, but Islanders fans will be going nuts.

 

[Hasbro]

Since the North Division will need a Neutral site for the semis, get the, the boost of a Mississippi crowd!

 

[SeanConn]

Now that is some dedication to crowd control! WOW! Amazing job!

 

[SeanConn]

Definitely the Tampa Bay Lightning. You didn't see anyone wearing any jerseys but the home team in that arena, I'll tell you that much! What a classy atmosphere.

The Habs WILL have the best crowd though, it'll be amazing to see how much of a difference that will make in the series. Perhaps the crowd will be the game changer needed to turn that series around.

Will be amazing to watch that crowd of hockey fanatics back in the Mecca of hockey, Montreal!

I heard only 2,500 will be allowed (Idk if that’s accurate). So that’s like 12% capacity? It’s a start, at least.
It’s a shame that this series has been played in empty buildings.

2,500 fanatical fans in Hockey's Mecca... There's no hockey fans louder or more die hard in the world than the Montreal Canadiens, and they have been denied live hockey for well over a year now. It will be cataclysmic. The Leafs better bring their ear plugs.

 

[The S5]

I've been to quite a few arenas, both regular season and playoffs. PNC is the loudest barn in the league.
National broadcast is muting the crowd.

 

[Rebels57]

Isles crowd was loudest I have heard so far in the 3rd period of their last game.

In winnipeg it is still a major lockdown and major restrictions.

USA is all good.

Wtf.
