Power Play Dance

by Doc Whiskey on Nov 14, 2009 10:42 PM CST

I will be the first person to say it though I can't possibly be the first person to think it....the power play dance is a fucking curse. I have no idea what kinda of voodoo shit has been invoked when scores of people do this thing, but it is angering someone up above. Think about it, when did the dance really start catching on? The end of the regular season last year and it blew up in the playoffs. It continues to grow in popularity this year. Now lets look at how our power play performed during that time. Our power play has been damn near non-existent. We need to put an end to this right now, and that means when you are at your next game it is your responsibility to do whatever it takes to stop this dance from occurring. Also, if you know anything about anti voodoo dances get to work on fixing the damage already done.

While we're at it

can we get rid of the shitty early 90’s Dutch techno music, too?

this is exactly where the problem lies. change the power play song, and the dance goes away. oh and don’t change it to another techno song or they’ll just keep doing it. (I personally don’t have a beef with techno. I just despise that so-called “dance”)

The Hockey Song!

I was just about to name this as a replacement…as for supplying this video, all I have to say is “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!”

I just threw up in my mouth a little…I don’t know how he says that all the time

SHE’S ALL ALONE! (ALL ALONE!) ALL ALONE IN A TIME OF NEEED!

(The Jethro Tull suggestion is fucking brilliant too, though.)

Here’s my choice.

The Distance

It’s always been an essential song to listen to in my iPod pre-race.

Never thought of it as a hockey song, though, but I am willing to try new things.

As for powerplay song changes

I think we should all seriously consider Knights of Cydonia.

This would be awesome as well.

I could definitely go for it.

Bring signs

Doc,
I’m going to bring a sign to Thursday night’s game…one side will say “STOP THE DANCE, IT’S NOT HELPING!!!”

The otherside will list the PP stats for the playoffs last year and this year so far…maybe if we bring enough of these signs, people will get the point…
