I'm going to post something off topic here as it certainly does not warrant a new thread but did not know where else to post it,so I'll sneak it in here. :D

Interesting to note that the league is trying out something new with camera angles on the ice...they have small cameras installed on the top of the goalies helmet & also the players helmets....different.

Other cities have tried to steal our hey hey hey goodbye, but it'll always be ours. ^_^

It was started in baseball and we actually ripped it off :)

As for the Ole song, I love hearing it at away rinks mostly. But I also think the Ole song was also ripped off by us as I'm pretty sure it was used in soccer WAY before it was used in hockey.

So I have learned. Read post #9. I had been told that it was Montreal's thing. Guess not.....

My 2nd favorite cheer is the Mets "Larry" chant :P

Actually, mine too. I usually start to drool when I hear it, it's weird but I guess I've been conditioned like one of Pavlov's dogs because I know a home run is coming.

That's true, prior to the Habs singing it I don't think a lot of people would have recognized it. I also read that it was used in bull fighting before soccer even.

Ole is technically stolen from Europeans, whether it be soccer, bull fighting, or anything else. However, Montreal is top-two most European cities in North America (The other being Quebec City). Montreal was easily the first – by a long shot – to sing it on this continent.

Habs fans are the only fans in North American major sports who sing at games and it's AWESOME. The same song is sang in every building in the NHL when the Habs roll in; I know because I go horse every time they come to Alberta as us Habs fans pack both buildings every year!! Incidentally, we also had fun in the past in Edmonton singing ABBA whenever Fernando Pisani was on the ice, and Baby Baluga when Raffi Torres was out there, but that's beside the point....

OLE, OLE, OLE is most definitely a HABS song!!!!

Try telling that to the Mexican soccer fans ;)
