I’d need to see proof that Dallas started that trend. It’s been done at the Dome for decades. And who’s to say Dallas started it anyway? I’ve heard many many such insertions during the anthem, in different sports.
Now “True North” in Winnipeg is dumb. Cheering for the ownership group?
Original sometimes sucks as well. Especially if it’s contrived. I laughed the first time I heard the Preds fans do their goalie chant. Then it got tiresome.
For me True North also represents our identity, my identity as a Winnipegger. A harsh climate and adversity breed comradery and kinship. It's not just about the ownership group, it's about being in a group. I love it. Every time I hear it I smile.
My wife and I were at the game and we were marveling at how many people had those on, and I literally said this to her "Wow, someone must have been giving those away somewhere as part of a promo or something. I don't imagine anyone would pay money for that"
And now I'm the idiot
i thought door freebie as well. $35 for a plastic chain is more Canadian robbery
I'm sensing a lot of pent up aggression. Perhaps a beer is in order!
No. I have to start out with two beers first. Then comes the pocket dawg. Then it's one more beer. Then bag o peanuts. Then two more beers for the third.
If I don't do this, the Flames WILL lose. Do you want the Flames to LOSE???
I understand superstition, I personally don't participate the wave unless we are up by 3 or more and it's 1 minute left in the game. However, I would not ban people who are not superstitious and think doing wave is fun. They paid good money to go to the game and it's their right to have harmless fun.
I don't like the wave as I am short and already have trouble seeing the half the ice when everyone is sitting, once everyone stands up, I am screwed!

It's not harmless. It actively alters the destiny of the universe, to the detriment of our preferred team.
Don't be the two women that sat behind me at the last game. Real high pitched, nails down a chock board voices that carried a mile despite how loud the Dome was. Nattered the entire game about everything from getting there eyebrows done to what shoes they were going to wear tomorrow. Not quite sure if they realized they were at a hockey game.
The wave is bad. Do NOT say shutout unless it’s against the other team. TRUE NORTH is lame. C and RED are cool. Wear red, preferably a jersey. If it’s a different jersey it better be for the other team or you are just a goof.
