"no means no" chant begins in raleigh after carter hart plays the puck

[canesbian]

prev -- I appreciate your tags; these are also things I was thinking about when I saw canes fans talking about what to chant at Hart, and I do agree on the signs/jokes about "how does it feel" etc. being gross.

on the chant, specifically, though: the conclusion I ultimately came to was that it's already been trivialized and normalized. we've now had months of national broadcasts praising Hart relentlessly, framing him as a redemption arc; and months of vegas silencing and preventing any press from even asking questions.

obviously, chants are not where this should stop, but hockey media has done eveyrthing it can to prevent the conversation. and it was very moving to me now, during the most watched games of the year -- the literal finals -- every person watching that broadcast (and all those coward announcers) could clearly hear the crowd chanting the most well known anti-rape slogan there is.

So even if not everyone is chanting with proper motives, it still forces it out of the darkness, and it is also a sign to those few in hockey media who have challenged the narrative that despite how few of them there are, there is a much larger group in the fanbase that still gives a shit and appreciates their continued stand.

Thanks for tuning in tonight, y’all - and for those of y’all who don’t pay close attention to the team, know that while our Canes aren’t perfect, they do their best to play that swarming offense and two-way defense, which makes them fun to root for most of the time.

(That said, get your blood pressure checked before period 2 of every game because the Cardiac Canes experience is a trip, just hopefully not to your nearest emergency department)

[canesbian]

a good point

[attackingmidfielder]

BTW CANES LB LAST TIME ARSENAL WAS IN UCL FINAL AND LOST WAS IN ‘06. WHO WON THE *** THAT YEAR? YEAH THAT RIGHT. GUESS WHAT! ARENAL WAS IN UCL FINAL THIS YEAR AND ALSO LOST. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS DIVINE PROPHECY

[hockeysstorms]

okay but genuinely the good news is they wouldn’t have had that chance without the second period and we weren’t ourselves in the second period. this is winnable.

[attackingmidfielder]

it’s fine guys we played well. second was messy but fixable. remember take fucking m.arner and e.ichel out. neutralize them in any way you know and it’s fine. Vegas is literally nothing without everyone knows and everyone can see it

[mjuice]

Diamonds aren’t made in a minute WE HAVE AT LEAST THREE MORE GAMES TO PROVE OURSELVES

[storm-surges]

you know what it was a close game like we fell apart but it was nowhere NEAR as bad as our first game against the habs. believe y'all. we knew we weren't sweeping v*gas but it can literally only go up from here (<- girl who BELIEVES)
