Wow, Norfolk hockey fans are BRILLIANT!?

My god, I swear this is the worst hockey city in the world. I thought Colombus was bad, but these guys have them beat. Let me go over what they've done:

1. They are EXTREMELY unoriginal with their goal chants. First it's "Hey, You Suck". Then, immediately after, they chant "Ole, Ole Ole Ole" Copying Jersey and Montreal I see.

Also these people know none of the rules. When Jerry D'Amigo got blatantly hit in the head, it's a "Yay, huzzah!". But whenever a Toronto player comes close to an Admiral, it's "Boo, go back to Vancouver hosers".

Oh and then, here's the best part. Midway through the third period they start "USA" chants. I wish I could be there right now and scream "dammit you idiots, 21 PLAYERS ON YOUR TEAM ARE CANADIAN!".

They also start fights in the crowd with any Leaf/Marlie fan out there. And they have no understanding for the game of hockey.

IDIOTS.

I'm not a troll, I just really had to point this out. These people should be kept in a room, where they can talk to themselves about how original they are and how much they know about hockey.

My nominee for worst hockey city in North America. Who's yours?

    Someone should tell them that the "ole" chant is ferruhn...it's what the Europeans do!

    I wouldn't bother mentioning that D'Amigo (and that spectacular beard) is American and that the Marlies have more Americans in their lineup than Norfolk. You'll just confuse them.

    Unrelated...I'm pretty sure that I could find three drunks who could make better ice than whatever that was that they called an ice surface last night. It looked bad on TV; Dallas Eakins said it was the worst he'd ever seen.

    Didn't help the Marlies to go 0-for-10 on the PP (can't help but think a healthy Frattin, Kadri, or even Zigomanis doesn't help a bit).

    Hopefully the Marlies can get a split, go home and run the table.

    My nominee for worst hockey city in North America is actually a toss-up between Uniondale, NY and Newark, NJ. Fans of these teams are too lazy to drive to Manhattan for a game so they have teams 10 and 30 miles away. Actually, Anaheim can be thrown in there too. They're 30 miles from the Staples Center. Why does the NHL need teams so close together?

    Had a bit of a laugh when they started on the USA chant. There are more Americans on the Marlies than on the Admirals.

    One of those Americans that they were cheering for was D'Amigo who they were cheering for when he got hit from behind to the head. Norfolk play old time AHL hockey of the Don Cherry era. Try to beat them into submission. I think that in game 2 tonight Orr and Rosehill might get a little more ice time. Teach Labrie and Picard a little more respect.

    Most of these fans in cities like Norfolk think that Slapshot is a real hockey story.

    Still pale in comparison to Ottawa. They don't even chant anything..... they just boo. Maybe throw in a Leafs suck, even if they aren't playing the Leafs. But if they are, watch out, there will be extra boos tonight. I have watched lots of games from lots of teams, and most fans will kind of lightly boo a penalty call on their team, maybe a close offside call, but Ottawa boos everything. Even at the ASG they were obnoxious and disrespectful.

    So they get my vote

    We're talking Virginia here. My opinion of a lot of the people I have met in Virginia is, they over react.

    At least the fans showed up. At least they reacted. You don't have to sign a paper saying you understand hockey to go to a game. Apparently you don't recall the early days in Nashville.

    Rioting and destroying your own city because you lost still take the "worst" city title for me.

    The worst of the Montreal fans (read: not all) are the worst.

    Check into the Maurice Richard suspension during the Stanley Cup playoffs to see what I mean.
