True enough. Well if they sing it before the games instead the pump up song like thunderstruck (whcih I have found gets ZERO reaction some nights) they'll get more people on board. Something simple but catchy. I write a lot and I'm curious of you opinion of how something like this sounds as a chorus. We of course let the professionals handle this but remember how Tim Taylor (at least I think I twas him) said if they won a cup they'd walk together forever? I always found that to be a magnificent quote and I think its something you can use.
And we will walk on together.
Bound by glory forever.
Proudly by your side.
We all wear the Lightning crest with pride.
I'm not gonna compose a whole song here but if done correctly I think the idea could be a hit.
I'm just glad you don't think I'm crazy for thinking of this, just overly ambitious with no real plan lol.
As I've mentioned, I've given this idea quite a bit of thought in the past but couldn't quite crack it in a way that felt satisfactory.
The thing with me is to understand how the culture starts. Too many hockey fans jump to the Arbitrary Six era as the starting point of the NHL, and it absolutely wasn't. That was decades in. It's the boring, early years where the foundation was laid that needs to be examined. NYC wasn't a hockey town. The Canadiens didn't initially connect to Montrealers, Toronto named their team the St. Pats in order to attract the Irish, etc. Things that are taken for granted or just assumed to have always been that way.
What I don't know about soccer is it's history. I sort of get, or know where to find, how hockey and it's traditions caught on, but I don't know anything about European soccer, and I feel jumping to 1963 Liverpool for instance is too late in history. I'd want to see from the beginnings of association football and where the culture to support it came from. Without understanding the circumstances surrounding it's genesis, I don't see a way to replicate the outcome without dumb luck.
