That's nothing. Pittsburgh are maybe the #1 place for metal, play lots of it, most obscure thing I heard them play was Children of Bodom.

oh yeah, i remember that. 2007-08 and I think even some of 2008-09, the Igloo definitely deviated from the typical ESPN Jock Jams playlist. They were also playing Dimmu Borgir during the pregame around that time.

I was at a Lightning game years ago, Flyers were visiting. Leclair got called for a penalty. As he went to the box, they start playing "All by Myself" by Celine Dion. lol I had only been to one or two hockey games back then and was not expecting to hear her.

Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking, really got everyone pumped up. I guess the guy in charge of the music was having a rough day.

I highly doubt that. No organization, especially a popular and respectful one like the Canucks, would play a song with that much profanity or would rustle the PC critics' jimmies.

I've heard some pretty killer tunes from the Bruins arena. Killswitch Engage, Thrice... stuff I never hear anywhere else.

During a timeout in their series with Montreal last year (might have even been Game 7 with a little amount of time left) they played Silhouette and I instantly became more excited about that than the game itself.

My junior team plays the usual mix of monotonous arena rock, hipster trash and pop songs, which is why I was so surprised to hear The Horse by A Wilhelm Scream and Monosyllabic Girl by NOFX last week. Vast improvement

Glad there are some other Thrice fans out there. The usual response I get is, "Oh, never heard of them."

Small bump, but I had to mention this one. Tonight I heard it during the Senators game during a late game time out, and I had heard it earlier in the season as well in a similar situation in a different Senators game, both times I heard it I was downright impressed.

Fugazi-Waiting Room during a goal review at Mellon Arena.

Whoever was in charge of music at Mellon was awesome, Consol's playlist is nowhere near as good.
