OT: Music being played at Leaf games

[ACC1224]

Nah, MLSE with Leaf games seem to be completely inept and off the mark with how they present entertainment to the masses. Go look at how Montreal, Boston and Nashville present their games, and how incorporate the ENTIRE package of entertainment to their fans in arena AND at home, then come back and tell me it's the same thing.

If you don't think the crowd energy (or a lack there of ) doesn't have an effect on opposing teams and the outcome of games, then I have a bridge to sell you in the Sahara Desert.

Atmophere and presentation is no different than any I've been to in other cities. (Buffalo, Montreal, Ottawa, Columbus)
I haven't been to Nashville but I could see how the non traditional markets would need more gimmicks to hold peoples attention.
People go to be entertained by what happens on the ice, not what happens during stoppages.

Crowd energy was great last night.

Popcorn is a poor food. Concessions are now only serving caviar and Dom Perignon.

Awesome. But let me ask, can you dip popcorn in caviar?

Awesome. But let me ask, can you dip popcorn in caviar?

Nope. Only allowed to dump the caviar in the champagne.

I can't stand the goal song. I'm sure they could have chosen a better one.
Almost as annoying as Hughson's voice.

But hey, I'm glad I'm here bitching only about songs today lol.

That’s too bloody bad.

I’m going to a Preds game next week and for 125 bucks I get a ticket in the lower bowl and access to the Lexus lounge with free beer before the game and between periods and a buffet with wings and other fine finger foods.

I love Hall & Oates as a goal song. Best goal song in the league. But I'm also not a 45 year old from Keswick.

I could have sworn they were playing good vibrations marky mark but that was only my imagination, it was playing in my head when leafs scored.

I love listening to millennials complain about Boomers. Make me giggle.

it's becoming one of the best things on this board... endless entertainment.

The season opener intro, and introduction of JT as our new Captain last night.....Horrible. When will MLSE stop placating the old fuddy duddy's in the platinums, who wouldn't know a good time if it came up and bit their asses, and make moves to increase the overall entertainment value of their brand?....

They've obviously notice the effect it has on Raptors fans at home games. So why aren't they copying their model?... Other than the "Auston Matthews" chant, last night's crowd was ****ing bland and boring. The overplayed top 40's crap they play on the regular has alot to do with the pathetic levels of crowd energy at Leaf games imo, and will continue to be as quiet as a library unless the higher up's at MLSE grow a set, overhaul their crappy music selections, and change with the times.

Quoted for brilliance.

I was fortunate to be at the game last night. First live game for me in a few years. I noticed a distinct difference in the in game production. The music was much louder, the arena host was better than I've ever seen at a leaf game and thought overall was a more lively atmosphere.
As an aside, the arena would have exploded if 34 was named C. Not arguing for or against, just sharing the tone in the building

 

[Canadian Finn]

I'll be at the game this Saturday.

Can't wait to get down to some boomer rock and watch the habs collapse.

Will be great entertainment.

I'm not a huge fan of the artist but I feel like Feathers by Coheed and Cambria would be a great song to play in an arena and I don't really know why

It's like if you've ever seen Walter Mitty, the scene where he's skateboarding down the mountain should be backed by Welcome Home, Son by Radical Face. Why? I don't know, it just should

Nahh, "you make my dreams" by Hall & Oats

Kind of a strange gasp when the announced Matthews was an 'A'. I convinced a few around me it was Marner when they skipped him after Kerfoot. lol.

I find the Arena Host terrible but he must be doing something right, it's now his 3rd or 4th season.
He seemed a little calmer than previous years which was nice.

Ok here's my take on the goal song. As a musician I recognize that it's a solid pop rock song. But it's not a good goal song. It's not very energetic or aggressive. . Something I think a good goal song should be.

It should take the energy of the crowd and multiply it with its energy which in turn should pump up the home team.

That's something I don't feel hall and oates does. Of course music like all art is subjective but that's my take.

I doubt the players even notice it.
One thing I noticed Wednesday, when they scored I noticed every girl around me was singing along.
