Thank God that was the 4th goal and not the third so we didn't have to stop the celebration and do the sleepy Mexican Hat Dance song before continuing to celebrate.

What a crowd, my ears are still ringing!

You and I don't agree on much, but this comment is spot on. Kill the Chili Chant. My ears are ringing too.

It's the worst...it was fine in the early years when we needed silly gimmicks to put ***** in seats, but we are a legit hockey franchise now and it's time to put a bullet in that buzzkill of a tradition. Or at the very least, do it on the first whistle AFTER the goal, not during the goal celebration and interrupt the goal song!

My sentiments exactly. The funny part is I went to high school with the arena organist and I sent him a message today telling him he did a great job, but asked him if there was any way I could convince him to never play the Chili Chant ever again.

That would be awesome, I would even be fine with moving it to after the first play after the goal, then all the kids could get what they want and we don't play the Mexican Hat Dance instead of our goal song!

On a side note, imagine what this team would be doing with a HEALTHY Horton! The one that was a beast last year for Boston in the playoffs!

Notice that the cannon is fired three times?

I like to think it was a three volley salute.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-volley_salute

"It consists of a rifle party firing blank cartridges into the air three times. The custom originates from the European dynastic wars, where the fighting ceased so the dead and wounded could be removed. Then, three shots were fired into the air to signal that the battle could resume."

Rather fitting.
