From NEHJ: Bruins celebrate first Stanley Cup in 39 years
On that fateful night, the Black and Gold jumped to a 3-0 lead in Game 7 of their conference semifinals series with the Philadelphia Flyers, giving TD Garden a sense of security equally as false as the one they created when ahead three games to none. Philadelphia scored four consecutive goals against Tuukka Rask and the beleaguered Bruins, who collapsed in the face of adversity to complete the epic meltdown. My, oh, my, what a difference a year makes. They say a tiger can’t change his stripes, but the Bruins proved in the span of precisely 398 days that a hockey team can, completing their dramatic, improbable turnaround June 15 in Vancouver with a 4-0 victory in Game 7 of the finals, capturing the Stanley Cup for the first time in 39 years.From the moment the offseason began last summer until this year’s trade deadline, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli made the right move at every turn, though not everyone was singing his praises at the time of each transaction. When Chiarelli began wheeling and dealing in February, the questions continued: Was Chris Kelly worth giving up a second-round pick to the Senators for? Could Rich Peverley, a standout on the perennially putrid Thrashers, make a difference in a smaller role on a Cup contender? Was Tomas Kaberle really worth the king’s ransom Chiarelli forked over to Toronto? Kelly nearly tripled his offensive output, going from five points in 24 regular-season games with the Bruins to 13 points in 25 playoff games. Peverley managed to put up points despite playing on three different lines throughout the postseason. After a rocky start, Kaberle finished the playoffs second on the team in assists and first in points among defenseman. But there was one non-move by Chiarelli that everyone thought spelled doom for the Bruins: keeping coach Claude Julien. The Bruins’ bench boss was the recipient of nearly all the blame for last year’s collapse against the Flyers. Presumed to be too defensive-minded, a poor motivator and unable to change on the fly, Julien was public enemy No. 1 among Boston’s faithful fans, who wanted nothing more than to see the coach canned. “You do different things when you learn more about your team and you learn more about the experiences you’ve been through,” Julien said. “And we talk about players going through adversity, coaches go through adversity too and they learn from those situations. But there’s certain things you can control and some you can’t. The one thing we were able to control this year is the fact that we had some depth and we felt we had the right players in our locker room. Whenever somebody got injured and we brought somebody in, they had an impact.” After narrowly squeaking past the Canadiens with a thrilling Game 7 win on home ice, it was time to erase some demons as a rematch with the Flyers loomed. The Bruins vanquished the black cloud that’d been hanging over their heads for the better part of a year, sweeping Philadelphia to move on to the conference finals for the first time since 1992. “It’s nice that we’re not going to have to answer any more of those questions and we can put that behind us,” Milan Lucic said after the Bruins defeated the Flyers, 5-1, in Game 4. “I think we learned a lot from last year, that experience, and I think it made us a more determined hockey club.
Hockey Goal Horn - News
Game -- sixteen innings most of the people kind of filtered out you could see that there were a lot of people to begin -- into the game you know most of more were were gone by the way that guy with a horn. I want to do something you don't.
When the final horn sounded, it didn't just signal the end of the game, the series or even the season. It was a blaring announcement that a once-proud franchise had reached its lowest, most indescribably embarrassing point in 86 years of existence.
"I don't like to toot my own horn and I wasn't planning on saying anything, but I got there and my teammates were giving me a hard time," Madore said. "Any time a goal went in that night it was, 'Oh, you can stop Sidney Crosby, but you can't stop me.
but the topic of the mix of sports and music has been all over the chat rooms since the announcement of hockey's return to Winnipeg on May 31st. And two pages discussing the sound of the horn/song that should be used after a Jets goal is scored.
In the second half of play, Sam Fraser scored a goal for Victoria, while Sam Wallace and Jack Wallace marked two goals for ACT squad. As the final horn sounded, Victoria won the game by two goals, 4-2.
Choosing a Goal Song for the Winnipeg Jets | Illegal Curve Hockey
A few weeks ago we looked at the qualities of an intro song and its importance in setting the tone for the home team and the fans. This post is going to take a look at possibilities of songs to consider accompanying the goal horn.
Picture your favourite Jet skating in on a breakaway pulling the Gordon Bombay triple deke and scoring. The goal horn sounds, everybody cheers, claps and a song begins to play.
What song would be the best to accompany a goal horn? A goal horn works best when the song includes cheering, or clapping. No lyrics necessary, it has to be something uptempo that will induce the crowd to cheer and clap along.
One of the most famous goal songs, which was used by teams and appeared in many sports movies in the 90s was Gary Glitters – “Rock n’ Roll Part II”, which you may know better as the “hey” song. The build up and climax of saying “hey” invited everyone to cheer along and brought excitement to the crowd. Surprisingly, even with Gary Glitters recent legal troubles, teams continue to use some variation of the song as a goal song . (It has been proven to be that good of a goal song)

While doing some research for this article, I stumbled upon Puck Daddy’s list of the Eastern Conference and Western Conference goal horns.
NHL Teams Using Common Goal Horns
Gary Glitter: Avalanche, Stars, Sharks, Predators,Devils, Lightning (6)
Joe Satriani: Wild, Coyotes (2)
Blur: Penguins, Thrashers (2)
Other songs not mentioned:
Pennywise – Bro Hymn : Ducks, Flyers (2)
Zombie Nation – KernKraft 400 : Bruins, Panthers, Capitals (3)
There are two ways teams can go when choosing a goal horn. They can pick a generic goal song such as one listed above (the tried and true method). Or go a different direction with a new song to associate with your team scoring. Some teams even have songs written for them as a goal song.
It is also worth noting that some teams have specific goal songs for certain players, a particular favourite listed was Sammy Hagar’s “I Can’t Drive 55” for Niklas Kronwall. (He is number 55)
Picking a goal song isn’t easy, which is why the teams above have gone to the tried and true method.
