Caps Players' Individual Goal Songs

[tenken00]

So on the way to work I was listening to Lars Eller on the Sports Junkies, and heard from Eller that each and every Caps players had to name a song to the Caps marketing department to be played in the arena whenever they scored a goal. Kind of like a batter's walk-up song (I'm so sick of baby shark) or pitcher's entrance song. Which is kind of cool since unlike baseball, I don't remember a hockey team doing this.

I do remember random songs being played at Capital One Arena, but cannot for the life of me remember specifically exactly what songs or which player they belonged to through the TV.

I still haven't been to a Caps game physically yet this year (I know I know), but can you guys point to specific goal songs for each player?

Even Eller says he still doesn't know all of them and still will be surprised by some. Probably Panik's.

How do they always know who scored the goal. Still cool attempt IMO

I guess when they figure it out right after replay? I'm not sure either.

I DO now remember hearing "Country Roads" once, and someone mentioned in a GDT how odd it was that it was being played at Cap One. I wonder which player that was.

I hope they have the players or someone in the know pick out the best part of the songs.... I am fine with the idea but to be honest am fine with trainhorn.wav

My first inclination was Oshie, and unfortunately, I was right. Thought it might be a poke at his former team, but apparently the general public likes singing this song about West Virginia??

Other player songs are mentioned...

I used to have an app on my phone that had every team's goal horn. I used the Caps siren as the ring tone for my dad. Both dad and app now defunct. Boo.

Until recently I thought Nick Jensen's goal song was the sound of silence.
