New goal song should have been Blinding Lights by the Weeknd
- AdamFrench

I can't support The Weekend, even if I don't mind a song or two of his.

He went to the same prom my brother went to because they were classmates, and every time I hear his name I just think of what my brother told me of that night.

The word was that they were going to have a few goal songs - different ones for original six matchups, the kids game, and so on. I believe the article I read suggested about 4 different songs. So while we will be unfortunately subjected to this a fair bit when we play Ottawa and Montreal, hopefully there's a better song for the other games (although if this was a winner, it doesn't bode well for the selection process).

Well, the good news is that's it's basically impossible for any of the other songs to be worse than it. Holy (frank).

Ehh, it's Game 1. Klingberg deserves some time to see if can adapt to the system.

A system, I might add, that the entire team needs to adapt to: the so-called "Hybrid" which could benefit players who are less skilled defensively.

It's absolutely only game one, and even in training camp you're more getting your legs under you and your timing down moreso than gelling with each other, so there's going to be ups and downs in this first month. I'm not passing firm judgement or writing an epitaph - I am merely stating that I have very serious misgivings about the structure of this defense because we have seen this structure before - and it should be noted that in 2019 we had Jake Muzzin, who is vastly superior to Jake McCabe. We didn't have Brodie, who despite his tumble yesterday, I still believe is a decent positional defenseman and a stabilizing presence. We'll see.

Yesterday felt like confirmation of those biases. Ultimately they have work to do.

Speaking of Canadian bands, Metric publishes a new album tomorrow.

The only time I noticed him was when he dove and the Refs bought it and gave Newhook a penalty.

Which helped the Leafs since they (frank)ing scored.

When next time Newhook shouldn't so obviously nearly hook him. He's not on Colorado anymore where they just ignore that nothing happened, Scabs.

Had to search this up in a private window so that I don't ruin my YouTube playlist with this abomination.

no my taste in music.
feel like you need to drop some acid or a molly for this type of music.

The song is (frank)ing garbage.
Brodie is (frank)ing garbage.
Lily is (frank)ing garbage.
Sammy was (frank)ing garbage.

I thought we signed Domi, did he play?


- .HOHO.

I still don't understand why Brodie fell. Liljegren was great, outside of one insanely bad play. While I want Samsonov to be a lot better, it wasn't really his fault on most goals. The one on the horrible Liljegren turnover, I feel like he should've stayed in his net and he would've stopped it, though.

Think Domi might've gotten benched after his turnover that resulted in a goal.

The new goal is a good pump up drop for a crowd, and it'll get annoying for other fans to hear it. It's not something I'm going to expend much oxygen on.

You should!

I'll text him about it.

Loved his game overall though.

Rush is the absolute worst.

Just be thankful you don't spend time around dudes who are permanently trapped in 90s radio rock timewarp, my god it's wearying. It's like...you have Spotify, you have literally all the music in the world to listen to. And you can't get enough of what 102.1 was playing in the 90s. Just those songs. I don't get it man.

Domi and Reaves hardly touched the ice in the 3rd period, so maybe.

Edit: My opinion: While Nylander was dealing with the puck, it should be noted that Tavares sort of flubbed the play before Domi flubbed it, but Tavares has immunity with the coaching staff. Creating a line of 3 players known to be defensively poor and then singling one of them out because the line was defensively poor is poopty coaching in my opinion.

Would also be a great pick band to choose a goal song from.

Yeah, I feel like we should've gotten the puck out the zone 3 or 4 times, minimum, on that one.

I'll be honest, though. I didn't know Tavares had 3 assists until I checked the stats after the game.

Brodie is (frank)ing garbage.

His most notable play was when he failed to get the puck out (it was an easy play) and the Habs kept it in and scored.

Metric is awesome.

They're playing in TO on Saturday too at a small venue, but the tix sold out in 3 seconds. I did see them at the Phoenix before the pandemic and it was great.

They were on colbert the other night

I've been staying Stadium Love for years. But then again maybe I wouldn't want it to get worn out for me that way because I am a Metric megafan.

Oh cool, I'm gonna look that up.

Jesus, that sounds brutal.

I would never listen to 90s music.

Just 80s music. 80s music rules.

Too slow no?
Maybe thats only in the beginning, cut to middle of song and they could use it.
I feel like the beginning of laces out would be great right after a goal.

You people are all wrong and you suck.

The goal song should be Rise Up by the Parachute Club.
