Players making one of the hardest hits in the season shouldn't have to be the way for the crowd to finally wake up. And it's not like they don't want to be loud. After the hit, overtime last game, and obviously playoffs, the crowd is at it's best.
If Nashville can have one of the best crowds for just a routine regular season game, with less people in the crowd, surely Calgary's could be a bit louder. They need initiation to however.

Plus, there's some irony in suggesting chants are stupid and mean fans aren't paying attention to the actual excitement of the game, while the fans are quiet because there's not much action going on for entire periods at a time.
Hockey has lots of room for chanting and crowd participation during the games. It's got it's moments, but it's certainly not non-stop action that you have to be prepared for.
