    what's the chant they keep doing in ottawa? the one where they count down and then chant something. can't make it out on tv and I've never heard it before this year's playoffs

    Concerned that captain Daniel Alfredsson may be playing out his final NHL season, a group of fans came up with a chant earlier this month to honour the team's long-time captain at every home game. When the game clock reaches 11:11 each period — Alfredsson wears No. 11 — the fans count down before repeatedly chanting "Alfie! Alfie! Alfie!" once it hits 11:00.

    Ah, thanks. Never would have figured that one out

    Blackhawks are out.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I figured out that it had to do with Alfie last night but never would've guessed the 11:11 thing. That's really cool. Hope to hear that again this spring. 8-)

    Kind of like the "INCOMPLETE" chant at Denver Broncos games that you'd never figure out until you go to a game there.

    The west has been crazy this year. I can't believe none of the staples made it past the first round.

    The west is very competive...and those teams that advanced in the west all have great goaltending.

    Chicago and San Jose really need to get better goaltending for next season.

    maybe the NHL doesn't want New York in the playoffs considering how small a market they are :roll:

    I like King Henry but that was a dumb comment.

    I do know that the NHL is reviewing the play but i have a feeling it might just be a fine and nothing else to be honest.

    from watching the game last night, the refs missed some mistakes such as the non-call on the delay of game inthe 3rd period. Trust me the NHL would be very happy having you in the finals.

    Probably the worst chant I have ever heard in sports.

    Nothing happened to Christian Laettner when he stomped on a UK kid in the greatest basketball game ever. Shanahan should use that precedent or a magic 8 ball.
