Can someone explain the Canes celebration?

[naruto]

Yeah, come on people, ‘real hockey markets’ do things like throw dead cephalopods on the ice during playoff games.

I assume your talking about Detroit? Detroit is not a real hockey city either. They can't even fill up their arena. They are cringey as well with thier "hockeytown" name and the octopus nonsense. Atleast it has some background (8 wins to win the Stanley cup or something like that back in the day)

What I find cringing is crediting this stuff to Iceland fans when this stuff has been going over all over European ultras for years. It is a fun chant, yes. Many times, there people are actually chanting something else than HU! And no, it's not from the Vikings.

That being said, I like this type of stuff landing into hockey and into NA.

How is that cringe? I didn’t say they started it, but that the teams copying them clearly adopted it from them when that soccer team had that magical run and made it mainstream in the western part of the world.

It's fun.

Some people on here treat hockey like it's a literal warzone. It is a game.

 

[SenzZen]

Won't someone think of the Tortorellas?!?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

This thread is perfect for weeding out the get off my lawns.

Let them have fun.

What was the big bang like?

The big bang was responsible for a ridiculous dilution of the universes talent. We kept telling the commissioner to stop expanding so fast but he wouldnt listen.

Well, what's with all the news about thier arena being empty? Didn't they have to change the seat colours to hide the empty seats?

The seats were sold....they were STH's not going. Thing is, the tickets were sold and that is what they go by.....not necessarily asses in the seats.

Also, they were saying in the new building the large concourse and large TVs people aren't rushing back to their seats with food and drink...so of course that give certain TV optics as well

Wow so Detroit "hockey" fans bought tickets and didn't even show up to watch hockey? Wow what a passionate bunch of hockey fans.

With the amount of effort this team is putting in on and off the ice, if they weren’t having fun, it wouldn’t be sustainable.

Can't believe the few seconds I want hasn't been giffed yet

I never watched that movie so i dont get that reference explain it to me.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

It looks so cringey... yikes. Like looking for attention.

I'm not trying to be rude, but a real hockey market wouldn't do that. It reminds of the cringey Las Vegas stuff. Yuck. Trying too hard.

Maybe they should try it.

With the amount of "suits" that tend to fill the seats in "real" hockey markets, having fun and loosening up can only improve the situation.

All the people buying tickets and not going to the game.....

I’ve never cared about the Canes in any way shape or form but maaan what a cool team. Fun team, great fans, and absolute stud Sebastian Aho. Brings joy to my heart

...did you like just totally miss the late 90’s? And most of this century? The Stevie Y and Nick Lidstrom eras? Or let’s take it back farther to the Gordie Howe days. Detroit’s legit, slow current time or not.

AND YOU SUCK FOR MAKING ME DEFEND DETROIT

 

[SML2]

I think I'm okay with it as long as the whole team is reciting the standard "they've got a great team and we got some lucky bounces tonight" while they are fake rowing their fake canoe.

 

[Braunbaer]

I think this is where teams like the Canes and Vikings got it from.

And they got it from Scotland.

 

[Stigma]

Canes have just significantly climbed up on my teams-that-I-like-outside-of-my-own list. Love this!

 

[bdub24]

Looks like players having some fun with fans. Oh deary me, whateva shall become of this hallowed contest if we allow such shenanigans to continue!

True colors are showing now that times are tough. Easy to show up to games when your winning. E.g.. Pittsburgh.

As I stated before there will always be shenanigans...

 

[Negan4Coach]

The team and the fans are understandably elated now that it seems the past decade of failure has finally come to an end. That is why.

Any other obvious answers I can provide you folks?

Professional hockey is a ritualistic form of war. Grown men train year-round, paying attention to minute detail, to gain an edge on, to vanquish, the other, to win the triumph. No one's killing, but no one's letting up on the physicality either. The sport has a stoic and manic aura about it, whether the happy-go-luckies like it or not. Contrived celebrations are worthless detritus.
