How do we go about getting the MSG crowd to sing a Sean Avery song the way the british soccer fans do? Someone needs to make this happen. We can take the Ricky Hatton (boxer) song which the crowd sings during his fights, to the tune of the popular Christmas song "Winter Wonderland", and just change the lyrics/words around to Sean Avery. Below is how the song would go and if sang by 20k people it would actually completly change the atmosphere at the games:
There's only one Sean Avery,
One Sean Avery,
Walking along,
Singing this song,
Walking in a Ranger wonderland.
Anybody that watches british soccer or any of Ricky Hatton's fights will understand how great this would be but for those who dont know, here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=875QHPQXcIc
how do we make this happen? we can sing it every time he gets into a fight, or scores a goal or if we just want to get the team going.
I would love to encorporate this kind of thing into games. although I dont see it happening. Too hard to get a crowd singing something they all dont know and too hard to teach them. not like in soccer where these songs are traditions passed down through generations. Its just not in the culture unfortunately.
No way in hell that would ever happen. Half the crowd only gets tickets from their office twice a year and wouldn't have any idea what you're doing. And most of the rest probably wouldn't care to join in.
I'm absolutely shocked that this suggestion hasn't been met with the appropriate amount of ridicule, and even more shocked that even like three people seem to support it. No offense, really, but that is a truly, truly, truly terrible idea.
Folks sign "When the Saints go marching in" at Appleton, and there was the "Sweet Caroline" at the garden, but making up songs is something more for Soccer.
If you're going to do this then come up with something better than the corny lyrics to a corny song that you posted. Especially for Sean ****ing Avery.
"Walking along. Singing this song. Walking in a Ranger wonderland."
I can picture the Devils and Islanders fans laughing their ***** off when they hear that ****.

im so confused. is the garden experience considered awesome or terrible? I always have a good time but i know what to expect going in. Its definitely way worse from an atmosphere pov than most other sporting events.
As a 20 year season ticket holder, the day we start emulating soccer fans will be the last time I set foot in the garden.
yea totally agree. nothing says home ice advantage and great fans like saying potvin sucks 13 times a game!
and please. i much rather hear zombie nation pumped through the speakers then do something somewhat creative. because that's only for soccer fans. us hockey folks like to keep it simple.

up until 8-10 years ago was very good. 70s was epic (according to pops, wasn't around then). 90s was also awesome. the 00s have been weak. but you could say that for pretty much every team. the more corporate teams/arenas get, the less diehards and average joes which means less rowdiness/noise.
honestly i'd say 70% of the time garden's kinda weak now. it's still special on certain nights, obviously crunch games on a playoff run, playoffs themselves, etc. otherwise hit-or-miss.
i really don't want to see what it will be like after the renovations. IMO i think it will be awful atmosphere wise. higher ticket prices plus obscuring the blues/400s? totally stupid. but at least there will be bridges!!!
The fans will be too occupied with the Potvin Sucks chant 5x a game to handle to anything this complicated....
Tell me about it. I don't see how this makes anyone look like pansies or anything. I guess some of you don't like having a great atmosphere at the garden.
The place is dead right now. What do fans do at MSG anymore? Where are the blue collar fans.....We have these businessmen buying tickets and all they do is talk on their phones during the game. It's a damn shame... Yet, we have fans frowning at the idea of creating a nice atmosphere at the garden. Pathetic.
I love how he suggests doing it after a fight too.
"Sean Avery just pounded the **** out of Darcy Tucker. Quick, get the Winter Wonderland chant going!"
I could come up with something 100X better in 10 minutes.
Let's see what you can come up with...in 10 mins. Maybe "Potvin Sucks" is ideal since it really rocks the garden....boy does it generate a great atmosphere. One of these days the roofs going to come off the building

Hahahaha!
Seriously, let's not give them anymore reasons to laugh at us. Especially the one year we may get to legitimately laugh at the Devils.
