I thought it was weird when I first heard it the other night. It must be a sign of the times (sucking that is). That and the USA chant while playing a Canadian team I felt where strange. Don't the fans know most of our team are Canadian? Patriotism is one thing but as a tool to make someone else feel bad...??... I think that borders prejudice...

If they are going to say it anyway, then bring back our goal song from last year. The one they have now is terrible.

You had to know if there was a way to fit it in people would do it. I'm not going to blame it on "kids" cause there are clearly lots of adults doing it.

Its so annoying to hear that chant and the one about the goalie who is shutting us down sucks as well. Really funny....NOT :angrier:

At some point they are just going to have to take away any song cause people don't know how to just enjoy the positive of our team scoring!

I think if they had never changed the goal song, that chant would've eventually died out but since they had to come up with a new song as way to get the fans to stop it, then it will probably never disappear, which really does s**k.

I went to the Skins-Giants game yesterday....holy freaking cold...and the idiots at that game were doing it. Here is the worst part...

Over the PA it is announced "the skins would like to honor the soliders from Walter Reed hospital sitting in section ... as honored guest of the Washington Redskins . Let's give them a hand and thank them for defending our freedoms"

Well, as soon as that happnes they cue up the song and people start with the "you suck" chant. I'm thinking, "what a bunch of idiots to cue up that song at this time and even bigger idiots for chanting it when they should be applauding the soldiers."
I miss these :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: and want more of them

Personally, I think the "You Suck" is funny. Mostly cause it is US who sucks. Really now, people working in "You Suck" is harmless. I think it started in the WWE with Kurt Angle, and has spread to other sports.

As for the "USA!" chant, yeah. That is just plain stupid.

And why do we have a section in the 300's do the Habs' "Ole Ole Ole" crap every time we score a goal?

I don't like the you suc_ chant at all. I think it makes the fans look like idiots shouting that when something good has just happened for our team.

Unfortenly we have most of the slow ones in our stands.

But they can't be all bad, after all, they're Islander fans

Exactly.

I heard the Redskins fans chanting it yesterday during the Giants-Skins game.

It seems to me that no one here has a problem chanting that the rangers suck.

I haven't head "Ole" but in 329-330 we do "Doug Weight" to the tune of Ole

That stupid Wooooooo thing they have been doing after goals for years is one of the most bush things I have ever seen at professional sporting events. It is silly and bush and does nothing but pump up our opponents. It is a reflection on our organization and needs to go. Let's get back to being the class organization we once were. :isles:

Put the Cup Back in Our Lobby Where It Belongs

As an old Montreal Expos fan (1 of 10, collect 'em all), I love hearing the 'Ole chant. Brings back happy memories of games at the Big O.

As for the Doug Weight chant, man, that's priceless. Exactly the kind of brilliant chant that has been coming from 329 since the late '80s. :thumbsup:

But my question is this: Why do we need a goal song at all? It's not like anyone needs encouragement to cheer when the opposing goalie's sitting on his a** and a puck bearing the Islanders' logo is sitting ibehind him in the net.

When I'm runnin' the team, we'll just turn on the 'ol firehouse siren after every goal. And leave it on for 45 seconds or so. :D
