Classic Whistle Chant Poll - Should it stay, go, change, or be used for specific games?

**"Rangers suck, Flyers Swallow, Crosby/Pittsburgh Watches"** is an original Devil fan made chant that played off of the Rags Potvin Sucks chant.

​

I think this chant goes back decades & should stay but I do feel it's dumb to do at every game as it is only targeted towards 3 Teams.

​

I'm interested to see where the majority of fans stand. As I always experienced 3 different views on this chant from Devil fans:

- It's tradition so it should be chanted every game

- Some hate it & want it completely gone

- Others like it but feel that it's dumb to chant when not playing any of the teams in the actual chant.

​

There is a simple fix in the middle to satisfy the majority of Devils fans.

**Altering the Whistle Chant between 2 Options:**

​

¹ Only do that Chant for Home Games against the Rags, Philly, & Penguins.

-Since PIT is not that big of a rival team the end of the chant can be changed.

² "[**insert Opponents Location here**] watches" is the best choice if most fans feel the Whistle Chant is a tradition that must continue for every Home Game.

​

This way keeps a tradition while making it not feel valueless or corny to chant teams who NJ isn't even playing. Having the last line of the chant change according to who the Devils play gives it relevance to while making the 1st & 2nd lines hold value as fan camaraderie by trashing 2 of NJ's most hated teams which all Devils fans relate.

​

Those who want it gone completely obviously won't be satisfied with the 2nd Option which is 1 reason I am interested in the poll results.
