Makes me wonder how it all started in 04 in the first place. Were there originally some flashers that got the crowds going and put the idea in everyones heads and horny guys made up the chants to encourage others? Or was it chauvanists who started it up?

For some reason I think it's the first. By saying that though I am not excusing any bad behavior or harrassment, then or now. Nor am I putting any blame on women. Just that it was a weird thing to just start happening out of the blue and I'm trying to remember how it all started and thus understand it better.

I was at a few of the nights, as I had season tickets and was there as it grew organically from just a walk from the Dome down 17th. I don't remember around what game it became a thing. I do remember near the end there were a lot (well small relative to the crowd size, but noticable) of people there with cameras to capture an image which totally disgusted me. You could tell they weren't even there for the hockey or even the party. Just lonely creepy pervs. I didn't see any bullying or people trying to cop a feel but I have no doubt it happened. To be honest I didn't see mich nudity at all, it wasn't the reason I was there and except for one instance, didn't really hang around groups like that.

The new crowds expecting it or trying to recreate it this year bugs me too. Total bullying (and worse) from the get go. Which is why I'm trying to remember how it all began last time. I do believe that it didn't start out so predatory or abusive or pervy (though it no doubt ended that way for some). But I don't know for sure. Kinda doing a chicken and egg loop in my head.
