If you watch other teams, the fans are much louder. I feel even if the team doesn't come out to play, the fans energy can wake them up. I never see the fans stand up at Consol, the blue jackets fans were standing up for almost half the game, that's how excited they were and it sure helped their team play better. I think the fans in Pittsburgh need to be called out, not sure why they haven't yet. I hope the CEC is all fired up for game 7 and the rest of the playoffs.

The old arena, as has been noted, was designed specifically as a concert venue. It was perfect for conducting noise. Add to that the seats being closer to the ice, and that place could get loud.

/Begin rant. CEC is a friggen dump. It was rushed to get done because of the excitement of the team sticking around. There's no room between seats or in front of them and God forbid, if someone ever has a major medical emergency their family might as well start making funeral arrangements because no one's getting to them. Additionally, the stairs are so deep that some drunk is going to slip and fall and break his neck one day and we will be hearing about a massive lawsuit. In short, my seven year old nephew could build a better arena and I really wish that they would have contracted him for his services because he could have done a whole lot better. Stupid *** lazy architects. They were more concerned in being "green" than designing a space designed for sound to travel and echo. Finally, I am not an exceptionally huge guy. I would reckon there a lot of plus sized individuals, fat tall or otherwise that avoid it because they cannot fit. /End rant.

And when they were losing, the fans were quiet.
