Oh, pardon me then. What's with all the snark? It sounds like Luongo is sleeping with your wife.
Your rant about the Luuu chant is a little over the top, but even so, I see absolutely no problem with making a booing sound as part of a player's name. If you're old enough (I have no idea how old you are) you might remember a certain player back in the 1980's named Hakan Loob. I seem to remember a chant of "Loooooob" going up around the dome whenever he would get a decent scoring chance, let alone a goal. That sounds eerily like a booing sound, don't ya think? So if it was ok back then, and if we ignore your irrational hatred of Luongo for a second, don't you think it's just fine to make a little atmosphere at the Dome other than a good 'ol Go Flames Go chant?
I mean for one, it helps the players know that the fans are paying attention and are supporting them. Secondly, it creates a unique experience for fans, which is what you want in a home building. All of this goes into the experience: the chants, the music, the lights, the interstitial programming, the intermission segments, the aesthetics of the arena, etc. etc. etc. I guess I'm not sure why people don't want more things to do with their team that make it unique. And before you say it, I know that Moose would sound a lot like Luuu, but so what.
I say do more things at the game. Make a choo choo sound after a Ferland hit. Bawk like a chicken after a scrum. I don't care, what it is, just do something. It's one thing that I wish was better at the Flames rink.
Oh and BTW, I have no idea what I said to you way back when, but it's kinda silly to hold a grudge over it, no? It couldn't have been that bad.
