Supporter Section Cheers

[dumbdick]

This. Something like this would be amazing at CTC. Replace Spurs with Sens obviously.

Love the concept but this just seems a bit cheesy. Like doing a 20,000 person strong rendition of kumbaya....

 

[Laoghaire]

I almost want the Sens to lose so in the third we can start a "LET'S BEAT TRAFFIC" chant.

 

[NyQuil]

If you want 20,000 people, it's going to have to be easy and therefore cheesy.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" is the obvious exception to the rule.

Let's crawl before we run, shall we?



I always liked the "Let's pretend we scored a goal" in a game where you're getting blown out.

Haha alumnus ftw

'01 baby.

 

[Inf4mous0ne]

Thoughts on a "The Final Countdown" type chant, where everyone together start doing the "de de da da, de de de de da" in the final 30 seconds of a game with a "It's the final countdown" thrown in (where we are winning of course).

Easy catchy idea. The only thing I don't like about 'winning' chants is the ability for other teams to throw it back in your face. Kind of like Montreal's ole. Nothing makes me happier than chanting ole in CTC when we're beating the Habs. Tons of other fans do it too.

That's mostly because it started as a 'winning' chant... and then it started creeping into a 'we're winning with 15 minutes left in the third' chant... which makes it a lot easier to throw back in their face if the tables turn

Haha very true, hopefully we can hold on for the 30 seconds

Oh the year was nineteen ninety two
(how I wish I was in Ot'twa now)
A letter from Ziegler gave a team
To the prettiest city I've ever seen

God damn them all, we were told
We'd cruise the league for Stanley's gold.
We'd lose no games, shed no tears...
Now I'm a broken man counting all my scars, the last of Firestone's Senators.

Oh Brucie Firestone scoured the league
(how I wish I was in Ot'twa now)
For twenty brave men, all hockey-men who
could make for him the Senator's crew

God damn them all, we were told
We'd cruise the league for Stanley's gold.
We'd lose no games, shed no tears...
Now I'm a broken man counting all my scars, the last of Firestone's Senators.

The Senator's team was a sickening sight
(how I wish I was in Ot'twa now)
She'd score once a game and her blueline stunk
and the goalies with their stresses and their failures and funk.

God damn them all, we were told
We'd cruise the league for Stanley's gold.
We'd lose no games, shed no tears...
Now I'm a broken man counting all my scars, the last of Firestone's Senators.

On the league's first day, we played the Habs
(how I wish I was in Ot'twa now)
We won, and the fans had a glorious day
Pumping like madmen all the way

God damn them all, we were told
We'd cruise the league for Stanley's gold.
We'd lose no games, shed no tears...
Now I'm a broken man counting all my scars, the last of Firestone's Senators.

And so on...

Can't believe no one commented on this...very commendable work. Would never work obviously. I guess if we packed the section full of east coast sens fans then it would have a shot.

I support original chants. I understand that it's easier to just rehash something someone else has done because people already know it or it's easier to catch on but doing when the saints is kind of lame to me.

These are my suggestions of factors to consider.

1. It must be easy.
2. It must be something regular fans can join in.
3. Having a back and forth component is key.
4. It should be original, or innovative.

Not all of the points need to go in every chant, but there should be a few chants and they should each contain at the very least points 1 and 2.

the best chants/songs in ottawa since 92 have been blur song 2 which is by far the best, the hossa goal song, pageau chant.

some of the best goals song should serve as inspiration, the blackhawks have one of the best and hearing 20000 people all sing it is incredible. Same with the rangers i dont like it as much but it's effective.

if the Sens continue the terrible Avicii song after goals i will lose my mind.

with that said I don't really have any suggestions, and i don't expect it to be easy which is why we will most likely see rehashed chants from other supporters group.

maybe something as simple as Sena - Tors (back and forth) that cools off with a simple go sens go would work.

My personal opinion is any joke/insult chant towards your own team is stupid and counter-productive. Oh cool, it's fashionable to crap on Melnyk, I really don't need to hear about it through a chant at CTC.

You have definitely not been to a game at White Hart Lane then.

One of the most stirring renditions of a classic kinda kiddish songs. I hate the Spurs with all my heart as a Fulham fan but even I got goosebumps hearing them sing it.

These videos don't do it justice. You gotta hear it live.

 

[BonkTastic]

You have definitely not been to a game at White Hart Lane then.

Chances are that, with you as the possible lone exception, literally nobody that posts on HFSens has been to White Hart Lane.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Doesnt every english soccer team sing marching into wembley? Wembley being the national statium where most trophies are awarded. BTW bonk i love your song lol might be a little hard for every to remember though.

Everyone is the Senator section should do a little dance like the all blacks

I also have a funny song that my Hab/leafs friends always sing didnt variants
Here's a little story
About a hockey team
Who just may win the Stanley Cup
But only in their dreams

The team is from Ottawa
The Senators is their name
They're soon to be inducted in the golfing hall of fame

They think they'll take our Leafers
Now there's a funny joke
Cuz every year at playoff time
The Senators always choke

So three cheers for Ottawa
A real team they are nottawa
They can give all that they've gottawa
But the Stanley Cup will never go to Ottawa

Ottawa has the parliaments
And MPs in the news
And it's kind of like their hockey team
They talk a lot but don't produce

They're not the smartest either
I really have to say
When the capital of our country
Spells Canada with a K

Three cheers for Ottawa
They think they have a shottawa
But they must be smoking pottawa
Cuz the Stanley Cup will never go to Ottawa

You better press your plaid pants
It's that time once again
To hear that familiar Ottawa Senators saying
Tee off is at 10

So get ready for the crying
Take out your handkerchiefs
You're about to get your ass kicked by the Toronto Maple Leafs

Three cheers for Ottawa
A lesson they'll be taughttawa
Hossa and Havalattawa
Will soon be golfing a lottawa

What the hell else rhymes with Ottawa
Not a whole heck of a lottawa

They're the team we already forgottawa
Cuz the Stanley Cup will never go to Ottawa!

 

[Super Cake]

We all should just constantly yell "sign a extension Ryan"

That should be our supporting cheer.

 

[Quo]

Please don't.

 

[jules6565]

The Montreal Impact (MLS) have a great one with the Rock Lobster theme.

The ohohohoh part. Trying to find a youtube hooligans clip but I haven't.

 

[dumbdick]

A little something I've been working on. Got background music and everything. Just need to finish out the rest of the Canadian teams. Wouldn't mind some help if people got any good ideas.

Maple Leaf Nation,
Home to Frustration
They aint seen no cups in a generation,
except the kind you put your balls in, that is.

But from Kessel's ball, on to Montreal
Where the habs habn't hab a chance since the first of fall
Jacques Lemaire? Who the **** cares?
That **** was like forty years ago

Moving on to the west, well Vancouver's the best
But their best aint the best, can't rise to the test.
High diving, green suits, girls flashing their chest,
It's like a circus but they aint got three rings.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I just..

Possibly worse than seeing Bobby on the street and asking the guy "Hey when are you re-signing?"

These lengthy original songs are awesome. They won't work in practice (it seems drunk soccer fans can remember songs but hockey fans can't?), but hey, they're still cool.

 

[dumbdick]

I'm not a fan of copying soccer anyhow. The habs did it with their oles and they're generally seen as a laughing stock for doing so. We'd just be the laughing stock that copied the habs.

Well for one thing, alcohol is banned in the stands at all English football matches.

No one's stopping them from a good old fashioned predrink though In my experience, the traveling Tottenham boys in Milan knew how to execute it to perfection.

I've never been to soccer in England, but I'd imagine it's the same, no? Rugby, they let the booze flow, but I found the rugby crowd has less of a "let's kill one another" vibe.

Regardless, the lack of desire to learn unique chants in hockey is unfortunate.

It's bizarre. I am absolutely floored by the resistance even here on Hfboards to even the idea that we start up a vocal supporters section.

Everyone loves their mausoleum of an arena I guess.

 

[Jovian]

just a quick little ditty we could chant during the announcement of the visiting teams opening lineup. i know the tune in my head but its a bit complex to describe:

yo ho yo ho
gather ye round and ye will see
a team that is very great to we
THE SENS ARMY!

yo ho
Bobby Ryan came from Anaheim
Team USA didnt want him but
But murray said hes mine!

yo ho
Neiler better not get mad
or Neiler will make your face not glad but sad!

yo ho
Condra is a man who wins at games
Condra is a man who's not immune to fame

yo ho
Legwand, David Legwand!
Shake that leg on that ice pond!

yo ho
Clarkie M is fast and fierce
Just like Amanda Bearse

yo ho
Milan Michalek will answer his door
and he's BBQing LEAFS STEAKS,
yum i'd like some more

Then there's kind of a call and answer part here.. Where a leader would yell "LEAFS" and the fans would reply "SUCK" about 5 times..


yo ho
Pageau Pageau Pageau Pageau.. Pageau... (the chant)

yo ho
Greening, Greening the king of mean
Greening the big bad dude


yo ho
Smith the renaissance man
will beat you 5 different ways Stan

yo ho
(ho yo!)
Hoffman is a great skater
Who always says "See you later!" (I's the by who skate the ice!)

yo ho
Chiasson is a man who plays the game
Chiasson is a man who is not very lame

yo ho
Turris proved he's number 1
Scoring goals and backchecking too
(goal horn sound)

yo ho
Zibby Zibby Zibby can't you see
Sometimes your moves just hypnotize me

yo ho
Karlssson the Swede can skate like the breeze
Matt Cooke better watch his back
A hockey puck can hurt like that (Ouch!)
yo ho yo ho
Karlsson

that's all ive got for now... ill give it some more soon but you get the idea..

I would support a round of "Oil Thigh" after each goal.

Cha gheill!

Something like Oil Thigh would be perfect because:
-it's a tune everyone knows
-it's easy to sing
-it's not cheesy - it has history and character
-it's not too short and not too long - sweet spot of around 20-30 words
-it's easy to do inebriated
-there's an accompanying dance that is incredibly simple

All characteristics that a Sens supporter chant should embody (except maybe that last one).

Even though I went to McGill I am jealous of the Oil Thigh.

Thoughts on a "The Final Countdown" type chant, where everyone together start doing the "de de da da, de de de de da" in the final 30 seconds of a game with a "It's the final countdown" thrown in (where we are winning of course).

The thing about those kinds of final countdown chants - the "ole" is one of them - is that they motivate the opposing team to score and actually put a lot of pressure on the home team. Especially if there's an empty net.

Maybe it's just anecdotal, but I've seen the Sens score on the Habs many times very shortly after the "oles" begin, and then go on to win a game they were trailing.

And so on...

I like, but the last line of the refrain doesn't work... not sure how to fix it though.

Gotta love barretts privateers but other than the original there are no good renditions on youtube...
