Guest post from Spokant
I, for one, never get tired of hearing our goal song. Apparently some losers from Loserville do. So how about personal goal songs like the NHL does sometimes? Here is a list of my suggestions. Most have commentary, some don't require any. A few have more than one because I'm indecisive. Some aren't so much goal songs as personality songs. Whatevs, you try coming up with 21 unique and relevant songs. :)
#3 - Sam Grist: You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC
Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas

#4 - Drydn Dow: Centerfield by John Fogerty
"Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today."
#5 - Matt MacKenzie: On Point by House of Pain
"When it's time to rock a funky joint, I'm on point..." Yeah, joint. The Toyota Center is a joint.
#6 - Paul Sohor: With A Little Help From My Friends by the Beatles
Hopefully he's not getting high, but it must be nice for the kid to join a team with so many of his friends on it already.
#7 - Carter Ashton: Check It Out by Will.I.Am and Nicki Minaj
You guys, Carter Ashton is on our team. He's kind of a big deal.
#10 - Zachary Yuen: Club Can't Handle Me by Flo Rida
I know, right? It doesn't really fit, but I had such a hard time trying to come up with anything for Zach. I settled on this because I liked "You know I know how to make 'em stop and stare as I zone out..." I dunno about you guys, but I'm often staring in awe at how freakin good he is.
#11 - Kruise Reddick: Feel Good by Gorillaz
It's been awhile, but we like him back and conky-free and we'd like him to stay that way.
#17 - Adam Hughesman: Firework by Katy Perry
Hottest kid on the team (points-wise, people, simmer down) deserves one of the hottest songs right now. Plus, he's kind of exploded offensively this year, amirite?
#18 - Mason Wilgosh aka Milkshake: Party People by Nelly and Fergie
Hot-n-Fun by N.E.R.D. and Nelly Furtado
Two years ago I chose Party People for Mason. Sorry for the repeat, but it still fits. Kid works so hard and deserves to party when he scores. Hot-n-Fun just to give him something a little different. Plus, he's kind of a badass like Pharrell Williams.
#19 - Jordan Messier: Dynamite by Taio Cruz
"I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, sayin 'Ay-oh, gotta let go'. I wanna celebrate and live my life..."
#21 - Marcus Messier: Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better from Annie Get Your Gun
#22 - Justin Feser: Rip It Up by Elvis Presley
The Elvis look-a-like had to have an Elvis song. Fun fact: Most Elvis songs are a) depressing or b) hymns.
#23 - Tyler Schmidt: Blah Blah Blah by Ke$ha (I kid, I kid)
Hard by Rihanna
#24 - Brendan Shinnimin: Without Me by Eminem
"Now this looks like a job for me, so everybody just follow me. 'Cause we need a little controversy. 'Cause it feels so empty without me."
On To The Next One by Jay-Z
Because we know another goal is always coming.
#25 - Neal Prokop: Sexyback by Justin Timberlake
He's back. And brought the sexy with him.
#27 - Connor Rankin: Money, Honey by Lady Gaga
Kid's money.
#29 - Max Moline: Feels Like The First Time by Daughtry
Two years ago I chose the Foreigner version for Brock Zimack (I think). To be a little bit original and relevant to the time, the Daughtry version is an upgrade. Kind of.
#32 - David Conrad: Tricky by Run DMC
Weird angle goals are the hawtness.
#39 - Brock Sutherland: Bottoms Up by Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj
He's another one I had a really hard time with. I picked this one because word on the street is he likes his beverages.
#41 - Patrick Holland: Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes
"I'm gonna fight 'em off, a seven nation army couldn't hold me back." He has a thing for trying to skate through like, ten guys at once. And you know what, sometimes it works.
And for fun: #30 - Drew Owsley: Big Pimpin' by Jay-Z
Per Dave Schultz's request. Also, anything by The Who.

Great job Spokant!!
Must be a sign that your team is doing something right when all the fans have to bitch about is the goal song.
This post is awesome.
"Blah Blah Blah" for Schmidt cracked me right up. Also? The lyric for Shinny was spot on. Double A plus for the use of Sexyback for Neal, because, really. That boy is pretty.
AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
What a great post! You so funny!!! I laughed at almost every single one (kinda went "aww" about our Max Moline and of course Drydn Dow). Every song is perfect!
And Thumper's song is "I'll be Watching You." heh.
@Amanda - Neal's song is kinda my pride and joy of the whole thing.
Awesome list, Spokant! I think it'd be great if they used a different goal song for every player. Not many (if any) teams do that, so you're sure to be unique. Plus, that just ups the possibility that your goal song will get played during an away game, which is always a good omen.
BTW I don't think the Beastie Boys collaborated with Run DMC on It's Tricky. <_<
@Andy - I guess you're right. I always thought that was the Beastie Boys based on sound. Huh. You learn something new every day.
