Heard this morning on NHL Network on Sirius that the San Jose Sharks are going to introduce personalized player goal songs for each roster player when they score a goal. Sliding away from the customary generic team goal song and going to a Player's Choice individual goal song for each goal scored. I think it could work and would add a lot to the fan experience. Kind of a play on the "walk up songs" MLB uses

Thoughts if the Knights were to adopt this?

I really never viewed stranges as a first rounder. Truth the kid would only report to London and maybe the thought of that like wow this kid must he special. Honestly besides his fancy skating, kid has no grit, no 200 foot game. I'd prefer perreaullt in sarnia, perfetti or jean luc foudy.

Any forward who doesn't play a 200ft game isn't playing in the NHL anytime soon.

I really like the song and the goofy dancing that comes with it right now even though its not uniquely Londons.
That said individual songs would be a fun twist. I liked a few years ago when they had unique videos for each players.

Have to admit I'm a sucker for the current "song and dance". Plus kids today actually like country music, and I don't (with the exception of Johnny Cash). I couldn't bear to hear country songs all game.

I didn't consider the country thing that is a good point I m with Nelli keep the song and dance.

What about scrums in front of the net or tip ins? Not all goals are clean and obvious who scored, how does whoever cues the music going to deal with that? Having a delay for the goal song kinda takes the air out of it.

Woulda kinda add some humour to it. The cued up song would be whoever the play by play guy says scored....or in that type of scenario..just cue up the current goal song

 

[aresknights]

Sure, let the kids pick there own goal song

I’ve been hearing more ‘country’ at wolves’ games too! Apparently not a fan, it takes away a significant amount of my overall enjoyment.

I like the idea...I think it would also get the boys going and exchanging barbs back and forth...team building

Well it’s the first time I’ve seen the Evangelista and Stranges line out in the second period. Looks like they are the so called “4th line” tonight. Only seen them out for 2-3 shifts in the second.

Take it a step further... let the players pick each others songs.....

 

[zman77]

Stranges and Evangelista look very good!!

My jaw is on the floor. Shocked!

If I can chime in (a bit late) to the Stranges commentary...I’m glad the scouts woke up and he’s fallen in the rankings (yes they can be way off at times), but here is the thing: his game will NOT translate!!!! Watch him for a full game. I haven’t seen somebody avoid contact this much, maybe ever. You think that will fly in the NHL? Come on. He also quits on plays more often than Jason Spezza did in the OHL. Yes #40 has some good wheels (hasn’t figured out to put away his in/out ‘move’)...yes he has a very good shot. But if you know any NHL scouts who don’t highly value compete level and physicality, and I’ll show you a team who is in for a disappointment.
It’s not personal, I don’t know the kid. And it’s not about harping on him just for the sake of doing it. It’s frustrating as a fan and former player watching a kid with the talent, but something that is controllable, not changing. You can’t tell a kid “hey be a great skater with a heavy shot”. But compete level....cooooome ooooooonnnnnn.

 

[aresknights]

OK, why didn't Branch step in here? Thought London had em in their back pocket.

 

[Knights77]

Sarcasm?

Sorry no...i am really floored. Rarely hear about this happening....especially a goalie. And in Hunters world this is not going to be good...I guess it could be recreational (pot), or PED’s...right?

 

[Drop the Puck]

What? For real? What did Singer get two years ago, not 8.

 

[ReLyT]

Let's wait on Myskiw judgement until we hear what it actually is... if it's weed or PED's those are two very different violations. With it only being 8 games, I'm assuming it's something minor that they have no tolerance for.
