Hey since you have experience and a loud voice, do you have any interest in leading the way on friday with starting the chants?

great article btw, I love it.

thanks about the article

i have a few ideas for chants, i'll make another blog so we can keep them organized and let people print from home and such. also, doing it in a blog or something like that will help keep out the useless bickering that forces genuinely good ideas to get lost

and, mark my words right now, i plan using the "is that the score board" and "i believe" chants for when we BEAT nashville on friday.

i'd be honored to start chants/songs, but will need help from others cause 60 minutes of doing it will DESTROY my voice. at UB we had about 5-6 guys to rotate between, but me and two other guys took the lead 90% of the time.

Maybe link them to this thread and inform them of the ticket discount...otherwise great article!

and i'm an idiot cause i forgot that, lol.

Awesome, we definitely have a few people who can help lead the way, the more with strong voices the better. Adam85491 and myself are going to print up some chant sheets as well to bring to the game once we get that list finalized.

I think the main thing we need to do is have a good amount of "Lets go Devils!" chants as possible. That's the chant that is going to make the biggest difference as the whole arena will do it.

We kinda want to keep it simple for the first game but this is what has come up so far chant/song wise...

1 - Lets go Devils!
2 - The Kill, Kill, Kill chant
3 - the 1- nothingggggg new jersey chant
4 - apparently in 208 they do something after a goal like this "SAY YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, WOOOOHHHH" but we need to confirm that and how it sounds
5 - also after we score and they announce who scored over the pa we should do a "Patrick" *clap clap clap* chant for whoever scores the goal
6 - The I believe we will win chant
7 - the winning team/losing team chant
8 - the we love ya chant/song

I don't think we should go too much more crazy then that for our first game. I think the simpler the better for our first crack at this but any more suggestions are more then welcome.

exactly, those were my thoughts exactly, lol. maybe another chant or two taken from college, but other than that, its the jist of it.

i'll make that post tomorrow, but i fixed the one about the section.

my main change i'd add, is the "you are my Devils" one

How does that one go? I don't know it.

[jagknife]

its to the tune of "you are my sunshine"

you are my devils
my only devils
you make me happy when skies are gray
you'll never know just how much we love you
so dont take my devils away



kinda like that, but change sunshine to "devils"

Anyone want to do ole or no?

I will lead the KILL chants with my horn, and occasionally the LGD chants, by the way.

i vote no to OLE, leave that to the Habs fans, we'll find our own unique chant Friday and throughout the season. I have a few others [i just need to actually remember them] that we can dry run as well.

also, i just sent the link to my article to the puckdaddy blog.

and thanks for the support, a horn will be critical, or a cowbell or a drum. it'll help set pace definitely.

[adam85491]

I always have a red KOVALCHUK ARMY one I bring, so no worries there.

Would anyone want to do Bauman's chant or should we save that to him, and hope he shows up and does it as some point during the game?

Also, the say yeah yeah yeah woooh is usually started by tony goomba in 208, so I'd love to follow it but we probably should let him start it...about 20 people usually do it in 208.

Edit: Also...I believe should be done when? Right after the puck drops? They always do that crappy opening chant right before.

I also vote no to ole, mainly cause that's what the habs fans are known for. The only time I think we should do it is when we play montreal again to mock them(hopefully they don't kill us again game wise lol)

I know we use drums over at the Red Bulls games but I think we can do without them at the Devils games. I think the horn should be enough. I think the drum might annoy to many people.

fair enough, maybe if the horn doesnt catch, we fill a prescription for more cowbell though lol


i have a list together of how the chants work, about to post it, i just don't now 100% on how a few of the 8 listed go.

[adam85491]

When we get some ideas down in here, I'll type one up with the whole thing (I'm not just gonna write I believe chant) and when to do it...I'll post it here for everyone to print if they want, and I'll bring some to the game as well.

Official 209 Chant List

this is a working copy

i also need help with a few of the chants [obviously] as i have no details for them.

If I see Baumann tomorrow I'll ask him if it's ok if we borrow his chant, I personally don't think he will care if we do.

Let me know which ones you dont know.

Write out the lyrics for we love ya,

We Love ya, We love ya, We love ya
And anywhere you skate we'll follow, we'll follow, we'll follow
'Cause we support the Devils, the Devils, the Devils,
And that's the way we like it, we like it, we like it.
Oh woahhhh oh woahhhh oh woahhhhh (repeat line)

Something like this, I believe.

I also urge everyone to participate in the clapping stuff that is induced by the arena, and to participate in all chants and be as loud as possible.

someone posted a youtube video to this chant earlier, i don't have the time to find it but i believe it's in this thread. it could be a really cool chant.

[adam85491]

Here is we love ya



Also, I like I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN.

[Satans Hockey]

*edit* I think for we love ya that "and where you skate we'll follow" flows a little bit better.

Obviously I won't be there since I live in a different country, but some advice if you want it.

- Keep the chants positive. No team x or player y sucks chants. Please no chants towards firing a coach. Try to get a new tradition with "HEY! You Suck!" Chant. It was dumb last year but could not look any dumber now that the Devils are the 2nd worst team in the NHL. Please don't be part of it. If Kovy scores (big if)...maybe try the "Hey! Koval-Chuck!" instead.

- Don't be shy or stop chanting. These things always sound good in theory, but a lot of the time people get shy or don't want to be the one starting the chants. This is what you guys are there for. You are the cheerleaders. If people don't join in at first. Who cares. The idea is to keep chanting all night. The bigger the thing gets, the more people will follow. But remember you guys are the trendsetters. Even if there are only a few of you there Friday, start it off strong so more people want to join.

- Give Marty some respect. The man has been doing it for years and rarely gets the appreciation from the fans in games like dare I say that Lundqvist gets. Moose comes in and within two games the entire arena is screaming "Moose" after every save. Now I know it is fun to scream "Moose", but how the Marty clap clap chants after saves.

Lastly, come up with something visually that separates you from the rest of the fans. Maybe a title for the group and t-shirts?
