Attention Devils fans?

Question

ok now i love the devils and i hate the rangers just as much as the next devils fan but i would like to know if it is really necesary to have a rangers suck chant when we are not even playing the rangers. just a thought i never really understood that

Answer 1

well its more tradition than anything else....if someone is going to whistle the tune that loud then you better beleive i'll be yelling it too......we don't need a reason....why not let other teams hear how much we hate them also

Answer 2

y not?

Answer 3

You aren't a true Devils fan if you need to ask this question.

Answer 4

It happens in philly and come on who likes the rangers.

Answer 5

since when has a fan had reasoning? when you walk into that rink, you give up and good decision making ability you have. you are basically drunk with spirit (and maybe a few beers).

plus, its the rangers. come on.

Answer 6

Firstly, not everyone hates Emery.  I am sure Emery loves himself enough for everyone else.

Not being a Devils fan (still bitter about 95) I think it is totally necessary for you guys to prove how much you hate New York even if they are playing over in Vancouver that night.  Just think, Brooklyn is stealing the NJ Nets in a couple years so that is even more inspiration to hate NYC.

Answer 7

I guess when the Rags play the Devils and the fans chant "Devils Suck,Flyers swallow",I should be upset or something being a Flyers fan?You should be happy that the Devils fans are chanting anything.Take the Thrashers for instance,they think they are there to watch golf or something.

Ask Red Sox fans how they feel aboot going to church and starting a "Yankees suck" chant.

Here's an idea...When I'm at a Flyers game and an opposing player goes down do I cheer?No..Do I boo when he gets up?No..Free to use my own mind on how I deal with being a Flyers fan.

Answer 8

GASP! how DARE you try to exercise free thought! common sense and logic is irrelevant. blindly follow the bandwagon.

it works for a lot of fans.

actually, congrats to you for questioning the status quo. besides, i haven't seen "too" many bandwagon devils fans.

speed racer, some people thumbs down for a lack of class or maturity. not because it's true. everyone should caveat their opinion w/ "thumbs down for truth". it's like saying, "today is .... Show Your Support for Pedophiles by Breathing ... DAY".

here's a thumbs up to being classless!

add - emery, if you would've told me that the "come on!, EVERYONE's doing it" line would work, i would've changed my comment. sigh.

question: how many people can fit on the bandwagon?

answer: always one more.

Answer 9

They don't not suck just cause we are not playing them.....do they?

It is not only necessary it is expected!!!!

Scotty D while your at it come take the Giants and Jets back too..lol!@!

Answer 10

it's because when the rangers actually come to New Jersey, the blue shirts fans usually outnumber the Devils fans, which makes them scared.  They have to wait for when the Rangers aren't there to chant it.

Answer 11

Of COURSE it's necessary!!  Just because we're not playing the Rangers, it doesn't stop them from sucking.  It is not always necessary to chant "Flyers swallow" but "Rangers Suck" is a complete necessity.  You are not a true Devils fan if you don't say it!!

Rangers still chant "Potvin sucks".  We chant "Rangers suck"
