I have always hated it. The wave is like a blowout win thing. Like almost no other crowd ever does it in a close game like this. It’s such fuckin bad juju
thinlyslicednuts
Man I said to my wife, “the Saddledome is doing the wave. Watch Dallas score right here” and two seconds later they did. It’s like clockwork. STOP FUCKING DOING THE WAVE UGHHH

Ten thousand percent. I live in Montana and watch the games on ESPN+. Does local radio or news ever talk about how this inexplicably rear ends the Flames on the regular? Word needs to get out on this.

Fuck the wave. Ban it

They have to be the only fan base that still does this cheesy shit in the league. Holy crap it’s irritating, are you that bored you have to stand up and wave your arms in the air like an idiot.

I fucking hate the wave, I’ll never do it. Doing it when losing or winning a close game is a fucking crime. You should do the wave in a blowout game in the Playoffs.
Dirtsniffee
If you started the wave when they are pressing for an equalizer you’re a fucking piece of shit. If you were doing the wave when they scored, I hope you feel as dumb as you looked.
Due-Drummer-3434
I was fucking screaming not to do the wave. They wouldn’t listen
Due-Drummer-3434
Gotta get a sign up at the gates, no waves allowed
Due-Drummer-3434
Half the people there are first timers, they have no clue how bad this fucks us
BeerLeagueSpode
Fuck the arena employee who dictates this shit. Get a clue you shit.
Due-Drummer-3434
Just a bunch of drunks get it going every time, it almost didn’t catch on but these idiots kept doing it and doing it. Fucking assholes

People that do the wave drink White Claw.

If the Flames get so distracted or upset by the wave that they get scored on they never deserved the win in the first place.

Some of you guys need help if this genuinely bothers you

It’s not like this team would make it out of the 1st round even if they did make the playoffs. Let’s wave them into a better draft position and they can get their shit together next year.

Yep sitting in the section with the dude bros that started it. Wife and i both knew it was inevitable
Nessie2212
Literally as soon as it started, I turned to my friends and said: “yep, that wave is gonna fuck the lead”. 30 seconds later? Wave fucked the lead
NoseyButcher
8-0 Flames (hard to believe this season),3rd period with 2:00 left on the clock…… Country Road and wave till your heart’s content.
When the game is close. Be engaged as a fan.
Personally I hate the fucking wave but it gives the casual fan something to do

Why do people hate it so much? Who cares?

Hockey fans sometimes have the biggest sticks up their asses. You don’t like something, fine, but stop acting like it affects the game and maybe take some deep breaths

I never thought I’d agree with him. But god damn it Pinder was right..

So people are trying to have fun on their $400 night out? Did they forget that they’re in a library and they have to behave like hockey experts, critiquing every moment? Oh right, why would you spend money to do that for a fun night out…
Wayz6430
Yep. I told my row to keep their butts in seats – this is NOT the time. We didn’t learn anything from last playoffs?!?
stinkybunger
Fuck whoever did that wave
TGDallow
How dare people have a good time at a sporting venue they paid good money for. They should be more like how you want them to be

the only reason you guys are even close to a playoff spot is your free 15 over time loss points lol.

I was watching along after my Leafs game ended and was pulling for you guys (you really deserved that W and I always want more Canadian teams in the playoffs), but the second I saw the wave I started yelling at my TV. Don’t you know what that does? Have you ever been to a game where that has worked out? The game was over the second that wave started…
elcapitainesports
I (a fully grown adult) was losing my mind at an inanimate object (TV) because of this.
ChabbaEz
I was holding on for dear life hoping we’d get a whistle an get a TV time out to stop the wave but sure enough didn’t get a whistle, wave goes on an they score.

Fans were doing the wave in a playoff game. Losing by 1. To Edmonton. We have all had to endure a lot as Flames fans. But that was the first time I really questioned who I was cheering for.
End the wave forever.
Wayz6430
Joke guys, seriously… but the wave was ill-timed.
nothingtoholdonto
It must really distract our team when it happens. Almost always leads to a goal against. That and when we score and they SHOUT out the goal info while play is going on, we often have a high danger attack from the opposition when this happens.

I think our team just startles easily.
