I went to half a dozen regular season games this season, have gone to a similar number of games for the past several years and grew up going to the old Chicago Stadium, and I haven't detected any problems with the crowd.

Brits say different things than Americans? WEIRD! It's like we're two different countries or something.

What does that consist of? Denim and poutine?

I love how that's your response to everyone not giving you what you want to hear.

I can't believe you're like "Hey guys! Hey guys! I turned this whole thing into a punchline! Lookit meeeeee!"
