When attending a game, do you participate to the sing alongs or other stuff meant to entertain the crowd?

[Le Barron de HF]

Title says it all

[WaitingForThatCab]

No. I will heckle the officials 100% of the time, though.

 

[DJN21]

Rochester Amerks always play "I put on" by young jeezy during playoff games and....yeah it goes down....

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I drink $120 worth of Coors Light and yell “shoot the puck!” when my team is on the powerplay till I’m hoarse

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

If a banger is playing I might partake in some buffoonery but the serious pants go back on when puck drops

 

[Stive Morgan]

I usually go to games as a neutral fan due to location so yes, I usually participate in the crowd festivities.

My all-time favourite moment though is when I forgot I was wearing the away team's jersey and Marty the Marmot rejected my high-five.

Marty the marmot can go f*** himself you deserved that high-five

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Sometimes. I'm not falling for the "everybody clap your hands" song, though. You're not the boss of me, loudspeaker.

Also, I wish Sweet Caroline got cancelled already.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

If my team is getting blown out 5-1 in the 3rd period, I find it hard to be in a good mood and sing or dance or whatever.

I'll never sing Sweet Caroline, winning or losing.

I'm there to be entertained. I'm going to participate in the entertainment. The plan is to have fun, and the gimmicks can sometimes be fun. I'll chant, I'll sing along, I'll watch and laugh at the look-alike cam, I'll cheer whatever goalie they tell me to in the goalie race.

But I still voted that it depends on mood, because reasons.

 

[Brodeur]

Depends on the game/atmosphere. One of my best experiences was going to a Michigan college game and I (poorly) tried to keep up with the coordinated dance and chants.

But for a pro game, maybe I'm just cynical and can do without the "make noise" prompts. Years ago I brought some friends for their first NHL game and instead of taking anything away from the actual game, all they talked about were the t-shirt cannons and intermission games.

 

[Sheppy]

I'm usually going to make a down payment, and a bi-weekly finance on a beer when this stuff happens.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Yes, I'm there to have a good time and be entertained, as are the thousands in attendance with me. Participating and having a good time just contributes to that atmosphere, especially for the kids (won't somebody think of the children?).

When you stop taking everything, including yourself, so serious and just enjoy things, life gets way better.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Love when we do this:



I've also been to plenty of arena's that sounded like a library. Absolute vibe-killer.

I remember Toronto's barn was like that a while ago. Only people who could afford seats were ultra-rich people who couldn't name anyone on the roster and spent half the game on their phones.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Depends on how I'm feeling.

Pfft, lightweight. Only 2 beers?

 

[Machinehead]

Hard no, because none of it has anything to do with the team. Except for the goal song, which I obviously participate in.

The NHL has no culture. The fan participation stuff is just to make sure the casuals get turnt.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

The Rangers goal song of course .

And Potvin sucks.

And yelling homophobic slurs at Dancing Larry.

 

[ViD]

I mean how can you not sing Blink 182

That was my reaction to the stupid Potvin sucks chant.

I couldn’t care less about Dancing Larry.

 

[Machinehead]

It was more so the homophobic slurs part. And yeah, f*** the Potvin Sucks chant.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just the Rangers who have no culture.

 

[Kane One]

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just the Rangers who have no culture.

I think it’s more so that the tickets are expensive so there’s not many kids, who are usually the ones to participate in that stuff more often.

The tickets are so expensive at MSG that I'm too worried about crippling debt to get into the game.

and you say the NHL has no culture smh

Oh yeah who doesn't love to listen to a bunch of npcs sing along to Take me Home Country Road or My Own Worst Enemy.

Original, team specific chants/songs are cool, not arena wide karaoke
