[Hockeyfan2390]

I can’t be the only one who hates this, right?

Yeah not sure what to make of it to be honest. Kinda like it, but kinda hate it.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Once the Wings scored, honestly I just assumed it was because the world was ending.

 

[Ezekial]

I don't mind it either way, I just think it's a terrible time to start doing it if it's something they want to start doing regularly.

 

[turkleton85]

hopefully noone gets injured

 

[MBH]

hard-hitting article. Yeesh.
I'll tell you who wasn't consulted on this decision.
Photographers.

Between this and the "Woo"-ing LCA is having a rough time.

I like it it stands out

The woo and the guy screaming let’s go red wings is not cool we’re an original 6 team so we should not do these wacky gimmicky things that belong in the AHL or expansion teams but I like the lights

 

[Black Kevin]

Actually, I kinda love it. Pretty cool.

The woo thing would be fine if you are the one and only team doing it. However there are a billion different teams fans doing this at games after goals and whatnot.

 

[Go Wings]

Well relax it is not like they score often enough for it to matter

 

[lhsgolf19]

I think it’s Sick.... Looks sweet

 

[ricky0034]

good way to sell more tickets

if people wanna see it they'll probably have to see more than one game

 

[raymond23]

I miss everything about the Joe. I don’t give a shit if it was a dump. It was the best place in the world to watch a hockey game. The LCA is kinda boring

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

It’s honestly good

 

[GBFP]

Gimmicky. But not turrible. They put the spotlight on the goal scorer and wash things out in red.

I'd probably pass, but it's not the end of the world.

As was mentioned though what if there is a scrum after the goal - I guess they'd just have to watch for it and put the light back on quickly. A good time to suckerpunch somebody though.

Another thing - it will look pretty ridiculous when we're getting blown out and put one on the board to make it like 6-2 or something. Like when WR's posture and showboat a first down when the team is getting blown out.

I'd save it for go ahead or game tying goals.

 

[MBH]

Seriously, photographers are gonna be pissed. You want that reaction shot. And now they turned off the lights.

 

[Retire91]

Anything is better than playing "Whoop there it is..." when someone scores

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Well the good news is it won't be happening that often with this group....

 

[Sadekuuro]

Not a fan, but it bothers me a lot less than the neutered goal horn.

The woo-ing is so f***ing bad and annoying both on TV and in person.

But that's what LCA gets for constantly playing Ric Flair promos during the game.

I'd say the exact same thing about the Olympia

As someone from Ric Flair's home state, and growing up in his heyday, I'm pretty done with it.

I like the lights out goal celebration. It's different and dramatic. Adds some theatrics to a thing that hasn't happened all that often this season.

I just hope the electrical system can handle the cycling... it would suck to have the lights not come back on, I guess.

 

[waltdetroit]

What happens if the goal judge makes a mistake, the lights go out and then we score?
