Family of 4 you lay down a grand for tickets, a beverage and a dog x4, and parking ? You want to sing ole ole ? Knock yourself out. Being superstitions I suggest in the last minute, but 5 if it's 2 goals plus if you must.

I hate it ; it sounds like a chant you would hear in a soccer stadium in south America.
But I would realy enjoy having custom made insult songs for every other team .

It's fun if we're good.

If we're good it adds an extra layer of toxicity to our club which I love. Imagine a good Habs team that scores goals, dominates possession, plays with sandpaper and throws bone crushing hits all night long with OLE OLE in the background. So much troll

As some others explained, I feel it is a way to express satisfaction about the show on the ice.
As someone who attends 7-8 games a season, I will cheers good plays, I'll boo when I'm unsatisfied, but when it's great showing by the team leading by a few goals (usually 3+), I usually like to start the chant and people do like to follow up when it happens.
It's fun, as a fanbase, to have a little something unique, that we can use to express satisfaction about the performance "on-site", and easy enough so the entire fanbase can participate in.

I mean, it is not mandatory to have one, or it could be something else, but man it feels more enjoyable that way...
Granted, lately, I don't sing it as often... 😣
 

the valiant effort

I enjoy it, but I’ve also always been a tad perplexed it became a thing as it’s just so engrained in Spanish culture. Are there no Québecois words or slang to chant?
