GDT: whaler night 2025 - maybe roleplaying as a bad team will make us good instead of trying to be a good team (which is making us bad)

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update.

Tripp wants Rod to become the only coach in hockey history to call a timeout with 3 minutes left up by 2 with his best defenders on the ice and fresh.

This was the funniest sequence.

Faceoff, 2 seconds of play, puck out of play.

Tripp: “you know, I really think Rod might come back with the Staal line here!”
 
Completely agree.

Maybe an unpopular opinion here but I actually have zero affection for our current goal song. Just doesn't do it for me.
I'm with ya. Not my genre at all, so I had zero attachment to it as an NC thing either. Had never heard of the guy, never heard his music, and it honestly just sounds like background noise to me when they play it. Doesn't cut through the crowd like something with a really clear melody does. Brass Bonanza is a literal fanfare played by a brass section. It punches through.

I really liked the Avicii one we had for a couple years.
 
I’m the biggest brass bonanza fan on the planet. Even I know it doesn’t work as an every day goal song today.

To me it sounds like public access television music. I understand it's a Whalers thing but I'm not blinded by nostalgia like a lot of sports fans are so it's whatever to me

Again, I'm fine with its usage on Whalers night but yes, it's not an everyday goal song.

I've seen some of our own fans suggesting that they ditch "Raise up" which makes zero sense to me. Petey Pablo is a Raleigh guy, he filmed the music video for that song in Raleigh. He seems to be a fan of the team, at the very least he's been appreciative of his songs usage.

To each their own I guess but don't f*** with the goal song.
 
Raise Up is GOAT goal song.

I don't understand the fascination for Brass Bonanza. I'm fine with it on Whalers night but I'd be pissed if it became the full time goal song.

They should resolve this conflict by not having a goal song at all. Just a long continuous blast of the goal horn until the next faceoff.

If it works for others, great. Nothing is going to be unanimous. I'm just saying it doesn't work for me at all. But then, I get to maybe 2 games in person a year.
 
Hey, brother.
<3 (I CONSIDER THIS A WIN)
Have you been following him / are you a partial Avs fan now? I know it's been hard with all the Canes departures over the years
HISTORICALLY I HAVE FOLLOWED MOST CZECHS. NOW THAT I AM BUSIER THAN EVER WITH COMMUTE, WORK AND PERSONAL STUFF I FOLLOW HOCKEY LESS IN GENERAL.

BUT YEAH I CHECK ON HIM SPECIFICALLY.

I AM CANES FAN BECAUSE OF THIS PLACE NOW TRUTH BE TOLD.
I have tried to be me before f26, but here it’s where it clicked.

We love you too, buddy. <3
 
I’d use Brass Bonanza as a victory song. Make it special. Imagine it blasting after an OT goal in the playoffs.
This is what immediately occurred to me, as well. It's 2:39...does it seem like that would fit in between the game ending and the storm surge? I'd love to hear the BB for every home win.

Actually, last night I was kinda pissed that I could never really hear it after any Canes goal on the FD broadcast. It would've been nice if MM&TT woulda just STFU and let us enjoy it maybe one time.
