New Chant

[mikee293]

This has been bugging me for a long time....

Cornell needs a penalty kill chant. Especially for big penalty kills late in the game. Any ideas?

D-fence?

[Ack]

D-CAF

I think if it would be good if everyone just boo them when they have the puck, cheer and scream really loudly and obnoxiously when we clear the zone.

I agree.  This probably won't go over well with people here, but I've heard some good penalty kill chants in other rinks.  While BU is killing a penalty, its fans chant an a capella tune.  It goes on and on for the entire penalty.  It shows support for the penalty unit and annoys the opposing team.  Plus, it sounds really cool.  I'm not recommending that we copy them exactly.  Just a general suggestion for a possible chant.      

[Ack]

maybe something you'd hear at a soccer stadium?

[proof of concept]

I have to say that I don't think Ole Ole would work for hockey... and most other soccer cheers that I am aware of are very club specific

[Montague]

Possibly, though I don't know.  It's somewhat hard to describe.

Soccer cheers?  eeeewwwwww!

[Ack]

I know, I know; I agree.  Maybe something along the lines of "Kill!,_____, Kill!" since it IS a PK....

When Cornell has a particularly effective shorthanded unit ('96, '05, '06) that's a threat to score, I've always liked the idea of a "power play" becoming a "power kill."  It chants well:  "Pow-er kill!  Pow-er kill!"  (Much better than, say, "Pe-nal-ty Play!" :-) )

And, of course, never forget the taunting for a goal:  "Short-hannn-ded!  Short-hannn-ded!"  No certain amount of times, just ad nauseum (for the opposition).

How about just "kill!....kill!....kill!..." droning on and on (about once per second).  Start slowly, then gradually get louder and faster the longer the puck remains in our zone.  When we clear, cheer like crazy, then start the drone again whenever it comes back in.

I like it.  "Gradually" will come a lot quicker than you hope, but it could be really cool.

I would say try anything and everything and see what sticks.

I definitely agree with the notion that something is needed during penalty kills.  Something loud and sustained, punctuated by even louder cheers when the puck is cleared would really add something to the atmosphere.

This seems like the best idea, something that results in sustained noise and cheer when the other guys have it.
