It appears you are unsure of what "ska" is.

There was a nice article on the Athletic about Hall. I loved this quote from Lovejoy...

"I think that he is the tone-setter in our locker room at all times. He’s the guy you want to follow, you want to keep up with. You can see how motivated he is. He had an amazing year last year, and he threw us on his back and willed us to the playoffs. You can see he’s not satisfied. He wants more. He wants more playoffs games, and I think everybody in here wants that for everybody in here.”

Youtube wants to help you.

I am an avid Gaslight Anthem fan and even I can admit 'Howl' is not a good song. It's definitely the worst song on Handwritten and might be near the top of the worst in their catalog.

I wish they used Rammstein's 'Engel' as the goal song.

If you add the letters "ta" after that, it is the Greek Word for Sh*t.

 

[Tretyak 20]

Barclays.... I believe its televised with the isles broadcast

So we're gonna get two hours' televised broadcast of a close-up of a concrete column?

 

[Better Call Sal]

I must be the only one that likes Howl

I only knew that cause I was driving around with my Greek friend and we saw a license that said "Fae Skata"

Gaslight anthem are good but that song is pretty awful as far as goal songs go.

Not as bad as that other one we used to have with the “let’s go devils” at the end. Woof.

Gaslight anthem is awesome you shut your hole sir

They are okay, but our goal song sucks.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Nothing will ever beat Rock and Roll Pt. 2. f*** you Gary Glitter.

 

[OmNomNom]

i'm in the neutral camp. but i do realize that i don't actually sing along to the goal song. i must be getting old

hot take that'll prob get me mod warninged: i actually like the rangers goal song

 

[Nubmer6]

Nothing will ever beat Rock and Roll Pt. 2. **** you Gary Glitter.

The sad part is that it's a tradition this franchise started. As far as I know, we're the first team in any sport to start using that song when we were the Colorado Rockies.

Wow. That's a neat little nugget I wasn't aware of...

From Wikipedia:
Part 2 of the song has become a standard at sporting events, particularly in North America. It was played first in a sport setting in 1974 at games for the Kalamazoo Wings of the high-minor International Hockey League by Kevin O'Brien, the team's public relations and marketing director.[5] When he went to work for the NHL's Colorado Rockies in 1976, he brought the song with him. After the Rockies moved to New Jersey as the New Jersey Devils in 1982, the Denver Nuggets and Denver Broncos picked up the tradition and were the first NBA and NFLteams to play the song during games.[5]

Plenty of kids here to step in for him, Miles not really doing himself any favors

 

[johnny pierogi]

Miles Wood is aware that there are not many roster spots up for grabs, right?

 

[Setec Astronomy]

Here goes:

Tor: Miles Wood, Damon Severson, John Quenneville
NJ: Nylander, Nathan Horton, Ron Hainsey

You can perhaps do them an even bigger solid and replace Hainsey with Zaitsev if the latter is not a total traffic cone.

I base Toronto's willingness to do this on the fact they are going to be in an extremely tough cap position next year if they sign Nylander for close to what you would expect him to be asking for. I didn't feel like getting flamed by Leafs fans by posting this on the main board.

We are replacing Severson with 37 year old Hainsey?

 

[Nocashstyle]

I generally side with the player by default...but come on Miles, you and your agent aren't doing yourselves any favors.

 

[Setec Astronomy]

I mean, I figure Hainsey's a stop gap that you can throw in there for bottom pairing duty along with Lovejoy/Santini. I edited my post to say Toronto could send us Zaitsev if they want. I have no idea what he is except that Leafs fans seem to complain about him all the time and I get the sense he was a Lou guy, but maybe I'm wrong.

Getting rid of Severson is a risk, but Nylander is really good.
