DEV1LDR1VER Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I love the "Rangers Suck!" chant as much as anyone. It is fun, especially when see Rag jerseys at The Rock while the Blueskirts have an important game of their own going on. Real fans. But people were singing the chant on the way out after the loss to Carolina last week. Of course the Rags have sucked, still suck, and will suck. But is it not the right time to have them on the mind when the Devs lose after being 6:55 away from a shutout? Should house rules be: No Rags chant after loss?

metallidevils Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 house rules should be no 'rangers suck' chant unless we win/are winning against the rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantaRay Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 yeah, it makes it worse that we pretty much copied them. What would you expect from the people who chant this at non-Ranger games. They are greatly insecure Devil fans who see the Rangers as something bigger than they actually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overtime98 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 It's kind of become "our thing". I mean, Ranger fans still chant "Potvin sucks" and the guy has been retired for over 20 years. Not to mention they do it every game- not just when they're playing the Islanders. It's "their thing". "Rangers suck" has become "our thing". agreed We should chant every game, few times a game. We as Devils fans HATE the rangers and we need to show it every game! RANGERS SUCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Let's get creative and use whatever team is playing against the Devils that night.(ie tonight: Light ning suck!) Then we can really go crazy and sometimes insert the Devils! (ie shutout loss to Atlanta this year.) On second thought lets not go that far. With some of our fanbase the Devils Suck chants would start if the Devils lose the opening face-off.) Edited April 3, 2009 by Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 yeah, it makes it worse that we pretty much copied them. I used to get annoyed by the chant when it would be done at non-Ranger games, but I'm resigned to it now... no point in complaining. As I said- it's become "our thing" to do during games.

metallidevils Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Honestly, I applaud the people that feel obligated to get the rest of the crowd loud and crazy. At football games, I'm as loud as anyone else when my team is on defense. However, most people aren't like that at hockey games...those games are more like a chess match, and I sometimes find myself too engrossed in the game to sing or yell along with other people. That being said, the fact that the majority of the noise comes from upper deck whistling is pretty embarrassing. I'd imagine the team doesn't get pumped up by that, or any 'Rangers Suck' chant. I find myself every game sneaking down from the upper deck to the lower bowl because I'd rather sit with the people who only go to a few games a season and are actually enjoying the play on ice, than the guys who find themselves at every game and feel that it is their duty to whistle during half the damn game.

Devils731 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Not all Devils fans are that insecure about our team. or they're doing what they enjoy and it's insecure to worry about what people on the outside will feel about it. Just another possible perspective, I never do the chant myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEV1LDR1VER Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 At non Ranger games there are always a few blue sweaters in the barn. So I don't mind it. It's our thing. But you gotta get your head in the game when you're losing. Go Big Red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsfan26 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I think this chant is overused, but I can't stand the people who call other Devils fans insecure for worrying about the Rangers. Do you people think Rangers fans are insecure when they do the "MARTYYYYY" chant after every single friggin goal he gives up? This is just another case of Devils fans trying to prove that they are better Devils fans than other Devils fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If New York and Philadelphia sports fans were slightly more insecure or aware of their actions, maybe the rest of the country wouldn't hate them so much.

cj241 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If this chant was only done at Rangers games, not a problem. When it's done 30 times when we're down 4-0 it's the most annoying thing you've ever heard. I'm so done with that chant and think it's time for others to move on as well!

95Crash Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 But people were singing the chant on the way out after the loss to Carolina last week.Should house rules be: No Rags chant after loss? Where was this taking place? In the corridors? On the stairwells after the game? If so, it was probably just pissed-off Devils fans blowing off steam after a loss. They needed to vent. But if it was happening in the closing minutes of the game -- when what we really needed most were some pro-Devils chants -- then I would agree with you.

Biggie B Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Considering that there is always one Rangers fan at any devils game I go to. And that one fan is usually rocking a Rangers jersey. I give people the benefit of the doubt when I hear the chant. Not to mention it usually makes me giggle. lol Edited April 3, 2009 by Biggie B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You chant that when a goalie gives up a soft goal or a large amount of goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
