Thought We Were Supposed To Be Better Than The Other Sports Fanbases…

This post came up on my feed scrolling today. We claim to be kinder, more sportsmanlike fanbases, then I read crap like this.

Expansion Team Goal Song Predictions

Let's have some fun! I've got some thoughts, but would love to chat hypotheticals! I was intentional on choosing artists with some kind of connection or relevance to the city or region - or the song is just a vibe and feels like sonically it connects with the city. IE: songs that have the city in the title or a band that is from the city or region. Also didn't choose songs that the NHL counterpart uses.

Detroit:

  • Lose Yourself - Eminem
  • Detroit Rock City - KISS
  • Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours - Stevie Wonder
  • Ain't To Proud to Beg - The Temptations
  • Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross
  • I'm Coming Out - Diana Ross
  • Respect - Aretha Franklin

Vegas:

  • Waking Up In Vegas - Katy Perry
  • Blinding Lights - The Weeknd
  • Mr. Brightside - The Killers
  • All These Things That I've Done - The Killers (I've got soul but I'm not a soldier!)
  • High Hopes - Panic! At the Disco
  • Victorious - Panic! At the Disco

Hamilton:

  • You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette
  • Barracuda - Heart
  • Working Man - Rush
  • Circle With Me - Spiritbox

How I'm Feeling...

That ending scene from S1 of Ted Lasso when they lose to Manchester City and Ted gives that speech in the locker room. No other way to describe how I'm feeling.

A Letter to the Montréal Fanbase - With Love, The Frost Fans

Dear Montréal Fans,

It's been a hell of a ride. A lot of stress, joy, heartbreak, nail biting insanity. We're looking forward to battle tonight and regardless of what happens, it will be epic.

Listen, we're a passionate group of fans. You are too, and like us, were raised in a community with hockey roots. There's a fire that collectively ignites us when we see our teams on the ice. Regardless of the opponents, we play hard, we lose our voices screaming our heads off, and ultimately, have fun surrounded by the respective fan communities we've built.

What we can control: Our reactions, how we respond to pressure and chaos.

What we can't control: The refs, players, ice conditions.

Tonight, let's have some fun. Let's fiercely cheer on our respective teams. Let's chirp and trash talk. At the end, let's shake hands, and bid each other a good game. Regardless of the outcome, we'll leave with the knowledge that both of our teams, and we as fans left everything on the ice, in our chats, and anywhere else we communicate.

Let's have a great game tonight.

With Admiration & Appreciation,
The Frost Fans

OTTAWA VS TBD FOR WALTER!

Ottawa’s facing either Montréal or Minnesota for the cup! Montréal advances, the cup is 100% going to a Canadian team. Minnesota advances, we have a rehash of last season’s finals!

… but just like how the league fans dislike BCS, I cannot stand Abby Roque. I honestly think she plays an equally aggressive game, and she’s praised for it. She, like BCS has major goon qualities about her, and the only difference between the two is that Roque’s politics are either aligned with a majority of the fanbase, or are simply unknown. I’m by no means defending BCS, just want to draw the comparison.

Hey Mods - proposing a megathread as I'm seeing a LOT of duplicate posts and questions about the playoffs. Hopefully you can use this space to chat postseason, and see if we can avoid cluttering the sub without repeating ourselves.

  • Games 3-4 are in Minnesota (Game 4 if necessary)

----------

FAQS:

  1. When is the Game 3 date? ANNOUNCED ON APR 29TH: THE GAME IS ON MAY 7TH - Schedule above is updated! We are at the mercy of the NHL playoff schedule, so the date is subject to change!
  2. What's the series? Best of 5. Team that hits 3/5 wins first advances to the Walter Cup finals.
  3. Who's injured/who's playing? Visit the Frost Website for this info! Also, the Master spreadsheet linked above has an up to date list.
  4. Who's hosting watch parties? Keep an eye on the MN Frost socials as they share this info regularly! A Bar of Their Own is a trusted partner of the Frost and typically host events. They'll share announcements for events on socials and their website!
  5. Any playoff rules I need to know about? In the event of a tie at the end of regulation, overtime is additional 20 min periods until a goal is scored. Overtime format is 5v5, sudden death. There are no shootouts in the playoffs.
  6. What are all these cheers and chants? There's a lot... check the Frost Discord server for a more comprehensive list. Some immediate ones I know of offhand:
  • "Brr! It's cold in here! There must be some Frost in the atmosphere!" (repeat as needed)
  • "Let's Go Fro-st!" OR "Minn-e-so-ta!" [ x5 Clap]
  • "You Can't Do That!" [x5 Clap] - when an opposing player gets sent to the penalty box.
  • Maddy (she rocks yellow mittens at every game - you can't miss her!) Leads: "GIVE HER THE BUSINESS!" Response: "YEAH! THE BUSINESS" - typically occurs during a rather spicy play or when Maddy feels it's appropriate.
  • [Goalie Name x3] "L-E-T I-T I-N! [Goalie Name] let the puck go in!" (to the tune of Hot To Go)
  • Be sure to yell "Thank you!" when the "1 minute left in the period!" announcement is made.
  • "Player Safety!" [x5 Clap] - Refs miss a potential major penalty that typically results in an injury (please keep me honest here on when this is used!)
  • "ROOOOOOOOOOOO-NEEEEEEEEEEEY!" - When Maddie Rooney makes a great save!

Aside from the rare "ref you suck!", our cheers and chants are pretty family friendly, not derogatory or intended to be demeaning. We're there for the game, the camaraderie, and the vibes.

EDIT (Apr 29): Game 3 Date announced and watch parties for game 1 announced!

So we've made playoffs - fantastic! But we've been losing... A LOT. We've been injured... A LOT. Klee's switching up the lines on a regular basis. I feel like the spark we had in the first two seasons is suddenly missing. We've lost quite a bit, and with the expansion draft on the horizon, MANY of our forwards are vulnerable.

To be frank, IDK if we're getting Walter this year. I'd love to, but the momentum we've had this season feels really off from what we've seen. I know playoffs haven't started yet, but with the trends I've been seeing, I'm not holding my breath.

How does our team recapture that fire that we were so known for?
