Yeah, I like the “Hey!” But I’d much rather say “We Rule” or something like that rather than “You Suck”

I’d hope to be able to do a little better than that, suggestions?

I’m surprised more sports don’t do something similar to that.

Well If you yell “Jay” after a the rare Pando goal, please don’t follow it up with “you suck”

You see my conflict…

Yeah, but I feel like when we yell “You Suck” after a Devils goal, we’re not celebrating our team. Yelling “You suck” would be more appropriate after a sucessful PK then a Devils goal. I do agree with Fischer though, I think the only way it would end is if Rock and Roll Part II is replaced. Anyone know great sports anthems that won’t require royalty fees?

While I do not yell “you suck” during the celebrating a goal, I feel it is still celebrating your team. It is like a gift from the goal scorer to the fans in attendance, the ability to be juvenile for 30 seconds while full of excitement. The only issue is potentially contextual, late goal with the game out of reach, empty netter etc.

how about going to the old standby “Hey! Rangers Suck” or Avery Sucks or when they score on Lundquist “The King Sucks” lol…i dont know i feel the same i feel like a dirtbag flyers fan when yelling you suck its kind of classless and belongs in philly

Well I like proving everyone wrong about their dumb notions about New Jersey. I read an article saying we’re dull and have struggled against the Caps all year. (Last I check, we’re up 3 games to 1 on the series this year). Lets not enforce dumb stereotypes about our state. Our hockey team is world class, I want the fans to be as well. I say leave the childish stuff for Philly fans.

Personally, I’m gonna try this, when it comes to say “you suck” im going with either “De-vils” “We Rule” or the goal scorers name. (Sadly, I can’t make a good 2 syllable version of Parises name, which, would be a problem)

The “you suck” chant is embarassing and classless. Just becuase other teams do it does not make it okay. There are plenty of songs with “hey’s” and what not the Devils can use to celebrate a goal. Saying “Rangers Suck” is just as bad. Makes no sense. I hate them too but we are the dominant franchise of the two not the Rangers.

I say we chant “DE-VILS” rather than you suck. Not too original, I realize, but I’m open to hear other suggestions. Personally, thats what I’m going to chant from now on.

you are absolutely correct, the you suck chant is childish and an embarassment. You raise a very cogent point by noting that we actually in a back handed way disrespect the acomplishment of our own team by collectively implying the goal was scored due to the opponents inability rather than our own team’s strength. It has to go, its truly a disgrace.
