I agree that the fans are there, but they aren't saying anything. They
aren't hyped up and even at the end of the game they aren't still hyped
up. The few times (if you hear the fans) is when the ref makes a bad
call or doesn't make a call that the fans think he should. Let's face
it, you can't change the ref's calls, but you can help a team get back
what they are missing. If they are loosing, show thaem that you are
still behind them. If they are winning, show them that you are excited
and happy for them. If the players are playing very well, then show
them that you are happy even if they aren't winning. If they could be
playing better, support them and show them that you want them to play
better and win the game.
FANS are there to support the team, thats why they are called fans. An
observer is someone who watches, but doesn't interfere, not a FAN. A
FAN gets down and rowdy to get the team hyped up to win the game.
 
As for the Walsh thing, I have my own opinions, but the issue has been
decided. He's here. He's the coach. Let him coach. Obsviously he's
getting the team hyped more than Cronin, so be it. (Yes, I don't like
the fact that he is back, but like I said, it's over, and there isn't
anything I can do about it).
