GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Rockaway Beach" By Ramones

[The Rage Kage]

Hopefully G can exploit the awful defense for a 5 point night.

 

[Domino666]

Great tune by a great band!!!!
I second G having a 5 point night

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Great choice mse Chris Cornell is burried next to john ramone and Mel Blanc the Looney tunes guy with That's all folks on his tombstone

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Flyers have a chance to clinch if this happens

Magic number is 3 .

IF FLA looses in reg magic number would be 1

So flyers could clinch with a pt at islanders

Or if FLA gets 1pt flyers need 2 in anyway.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Great choice mse Chris Cornell is hurried next to john ramone and Mel Blanc the Looney tunes guy with That's all folks on his tombstone

Just wait until the Islanders move to Belmont. The fun with GDT songs will be limitless.

"The Bottom Line" by Big Audio Dynamite is more likely.

"The horses are on the track."

 

[Cootsfanclub]

I'll be at this game repping the only non game worn Bryzgalov jersey

 

[patrick kitchin]

Well looks like the Caps are gonna help tonight. Home ice still in sight. We just can't afford a 1 point Hak special.

 

[Jtown]

"The Bottom Line" by Big Audio Dynamite is more likely.

Was that bad 1 or bad 2?

e=mc2 and medicine show are my go to's

 

[patrick kitchin]

We need all 6 points this week

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

"The Bottom Line" was from their first album.

 

[Jtown]

"The Bottom Line" was from their first album.

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I saw the Clash live after Mick Jones departed the band. It wasn't the same.

I never understood why Strummer got all the love and praise. Not much of a career after the Clash.

Attention lavished to vocalists has caused friction among many a band.

amen. That is why Brian eno has had such a long and fruitful relationship with robert fripp

The song "How Long" by Ace in which Paul Carrack does lead vocals is about a member of the band having private discussions to join another group. It has often been misidentified as a love-gone-bad song.

i see it was heavily covered interesting.

I love when songs are misunderstood and get covered. Probably not a better example of this than Hallelujah

 

[TheKingPin]

I’m interested to see what simmer does this game. The old simmer would be pissed the f*** off and go on a 5 game rampage of scoring. If we limit them to 3 we can win.

 

[boxcar65]

Hagg back in the lineup?

 

[Alex91]

Hagg back in the lineup?

Hopefully Raffl

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

I never understood why Strummer got all the love and praise. Not much of a career after the Clash.

Jones and Headon were total aces. I have nothing against Simonon or Strummer, though. Amazing band.

The Flyers really should win here. We want to stay in the Metro bracket. The Isles are a disaster.
