Excellent points all. It was no doubt fun at the beginning, but with
everyone doing it at every goal its just meaningless, now. What gets me
is a goalie that has been standing on his head stopping everything
finally lets a good rebound shot in and the crowd shouts "Sieve,
sieve..." Dumb. Interestingly, in a few games where the goalie was
really off and it was a rout, the crowd starts to lose interest in the
sieve chant.
How about a Hockey-L contest to come up with a new chant?

When SLU played UNH earlier this month the in-between the period games
were very entertaining. After the first period there was a game of
young players. I don' know the age of peewee players but these players
did seem quite young. After the second period we watched a game of
hockey between players who do not have the use of their legs. They use
sleds. It was very interesting and something I hadn't seen before. I
like it when schools have contests or games in between the periods.
As for the sieve chant. I hate it. and always have. I don't recall the
first time I heard it. I have always thought it was stupid for sever
reasons:
1. You should be rooting for your own team and not against the other
team.
2. What does it say about your player who just scored if the goalie
is a sieve?
3. Why hasn't your team scored more if the the goalie is so bad?
Just my opinion.
