Pre-Game Talk: Crawford Chant

[TwineTickler]

All of us who are attending games 3 (and game 4 for that matter), lets get a Crawford chant going early. This building can be such an advantage and even if we can get into Crawfords head the slightest bit it can only yield positive results. Bottom line, let's make as much of an impact as fans possibly can in these couple of games, and give our boys a true home ice advantage.

Beyond stoked for tomorrow. Leaving work at 2pm and headed to the greatest city in the world.

This may be a little wordy...but how about something like this:

Might be hard to get that going though unless you have a good dozen guys going with you.

I think we'll just stick with the usual CRAAAWWFFOORRD, but hey, I appreciate your originality big fella.

A couple of early Bruins goals will do wonders for Crawford's psyche. He's a top notch goaltender in this league. I don't really see how "chants" are going to rattle him. But have fun with it if that's your thing.

My chant would rattle him to his core...make no mistake about that.

Tuukkas better

I'd do it if I could remember it. I'm better with humuhumunukunukuapuaa!

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Am I the only one who hates that chant? It was great back in 86 when it was Daryl, but I hate it in general, and half the time it sounds like you are cheering for the guy

 

[Salem13]

Screw all that, keep up with the Tuukka cheers!

Hence the need for creativity and from that comes the Corey references.

"Crawford left his coffee maker on! Crawford left his coffee maker on!"

That'll get in his head.

 

[Bruinator]

All I can tell you is I used to play goal and if and when opposing fans would try to do chants, it only motivated me to play even better to shut them up and usually I did. Completely stupid thing to do IMO.

a dozen guys, each a dozen beers deep. well at least the math works anyway.

I'm guessing you would definitely have a bunch of people in the crowd and watching on TV wondering what the hell those guys are chanting.

Hated how the LA fans did this after every goal they scored. I'm all for it if the game is blown open or if it was a situation like Luongo in '11 where he was coming off a blowout and the first goal in the next game obviously shook his confidence, but I don't get doing the chant just to do it. Especially the way Crawford's been playing in this series, which has been pretty well.

I'm all for it if this game gets to like 3-1 or 4-1, but just starting this chant for fun seems like more enjoyment for the fans than actually "getting in his head".

Last time when i was watching a game in hall (cheering for my only huge favourite ILVES, where Tuukka played his games in main league of Finland), I was psyching the opponents goaltender with real passion. I started with something like:

yelling the name and "the first will go over the glove"...and it did. Then i continued eith "next will go between pads"...and it did.

Next 4 i think didn't go exactly where i pointed them, but you get the point.

You have to get really inside the head of the goaltender and make him subconciously scare certain things.

With Corey, you should start to yell him already during the warming up that "remember how weak your gloce hand is". "every second shot on the glove hadn goes in corey" etc.

And in the game after every easy cherry picked up by glove, huge sighing and clapping the hands "good corey, you got it".

Actually i don't know how this matches the culture in NHL audience, cause i've never been there, but that's what i would do if i was there today unitl the guards would drag me out

Anyway, good luck Tuukka and Boston! Just remember at least keep huge noise the whole game. I've never managed to get much voice out of my mouth after ice hockey game and neither should you who go there today!

I will predict I have no voice left by the end of the first.

Damn.

I only clicked on the thread because I expected you to say that fans should start an "I'm scared" chant

I'll give it a shot.

 

[Kate08]

I'll give it a shot.

If you're sitting near me I got your back dude.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

"Coreeeeeeey" strikes me as 10 times more patronizing

 

[ODAAT]

How bout this, how bout the B`s pop a bunch of goals.....THAT, not a chant may be enough to get into his head
