I love an electric crowd and although I hate the fact it takes the Leafs fans trying to take over or barn, I do wish we would bring that energy to more games.
It might be more of a Canadian thing. It is like we go to the game and treat the experience like a visit to the museum. We watch, we appreciate, we sit on our hands unless we score a goal, there is a big hit or a fight. I was at Madison Square Gardens a few years back and the crowd involvement was much better, and it had nothing to do with the in-house presentation. The fans all had their goal chants and songs. Carolina stands for large chunks of a game (god forbid someone leans forward in their seats at Rogers). Nashville has a fan site that creates some of their jeers and 'Paul' plays a large part of the entertainment. Multiple teams have fans singing old rock/pop songs. We just do not know how to express ourselves when we are having fun.
Canada's lack of flamboyance is extremely impressive considering the copious amount of alcohol we consume during 3 periods of hockey.

I think our reserved approach makes it even more special when we go crazy over a late game goal or epic win.
I've experienced some pretty wild crowds at sporting events in other countries/cities and I gotta say....I would not be a fan of that full time. Playoffs, of course, but a January game? Meh.
I know I'm in the minority when it comes to that stuff though. Like with concerts, I absolutely can not stand listening to other people sing when I'm trying to enjoy a live performance. The standing too. I paid for this seat - sit down and and shut tf up.  I'm trying to enjoy listening to this live version of my favorite music!  It's the old man in me.

Jason Strudwick .... is that you?
Lol. I also would not want it crazy for a whole game either, but as a fan who who was lucky enough to experience a playoff game once in my life .... I'd like that feeling more often. For lots of fans going to a game is a rarity, and most likely thousands in attendance at each game will only see one live NHL game in their lifetime. I would love our barn to be more fun and less about the tshirt toss.
FYI .. I say this and yet I despise the wave.
