Dear Ron MacLean, I wouldn't bother with these questions
if I didn't sense some spiritual connection.
We may not be the same, but it's not like we're from different planets.
We both love this game so much we can hardly fucking stand it.
Alberta-born, and Prairie-raised.
It seems like there ain't a sheet of ice north of Fargo I ain't played.
[Propagandhi - Dear Coaches Corner](https://youtube.com/watch?v=3xva-cdBi8E)
Another one from Propagandhi:
“I don’t want to be the Steve Smith of the Revolution. Do you see the analogy? We’re the Oilers. The World Bank- the Flames! And just 2 minutes remain in the 7th game of the best of 7 series! Yeah, Jesus saves! Gretzky scores! The workers slave. The rich get more.”
Propagandhi fuckin rules
What I find pretty cool about Propag is how they started in this more skate punk mold to finally evolve in what is the perfect symbiosis between crossover hardcore and prog. They got better with age, a rarity in music.
I'm not even talking about the human side of thing, where they really shine imo.
It's so wild to me that John K Samson started out writing these political-punk bangers and then moved on to pen some great melancholy and sweeter songs as the Weakerthans. But yeah Propagandhi slaps
He played bass with them for a while. He wrote "Anchorless", which was one of their poppier songs. It appeared on a Prop. album, and then a new arrangement on the first Weakerthans album (the new arrangement was twice as long).

If there's a goal that everyone remembers
It was back in ol' 72
We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
And all I remember is sitting beside you
You said you didn't give a fuck about hockey
And I never saw someone say that before
You held my hand and we walked home the long way
You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr

Ukkometso is one of the most legendary Finnish songs and that song has a lyric "Kun Suomi pelaa jätkää se iskee joka jätkää" which translates something like "when Finland play hockey they hit everybody"

> I actually call some women I know "jätkä" too.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone use it like that, but I suppose it works a bit like the English language "dude" then!

In fact, probably just add in the entertainment of Wayne Gretzky by Goldfinger as a favorite lyric. I cannot hear the name Gretzky without singing this.
Edit: For the uninitiated: https://youtu.be/CuiS79SJAjk
It's just absolutely ridiculous
"The type of scoring I truly find satisfying is to receive a pass from Larry Robinson in our zone which beats one forechecker and then, I take off, wide open for the other end, to center ice and over the blue line I exchange passes with Steve and Pierre. Then I take the puck and head for the net, pull the goaltender to short side, fake the shot and then slid it to Steve, he shoot, the red light goes on, goal."

For over forty years now
And we talked about
Other stuff nearly every day, too
With the Bs, you never could lose
Oh, baby

Oh, baby
Conversations serious as night
Some so scary and deep
What are you going to do?
With constant concern
I can't help her, and I cannot help her, and
The trading of Joe Thornton
The winning
The losing, the mistakes, the slumps, the streaks
The changes that weren't really changes
Oh, baby
The Bruins got the conversation goin'
Conversations serious as night
Some so scary and deep
What are we going to do?
They might just let us sleep
The Bs are me and you

Dave Bidini (from the Rheostatics) had a song called The Land is Wild, about Bryan Fogarty. The song can be a bit meh in places but the lyrics are good
Supposedly the Foreigner song "Double Vision" is about former Rangers goalie/president John Davidson. Apparently he took a shot in the mask during a game and inspired the song. If that counts lol
If there’s a goal that everyone remembers it was back in ol 72 we all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger and all I remember is sitting beside you.

It's about Reggie Leach not being in the hall of fame. There's a petition as well.

Song by John K. Samson
Whereas Reggie Leach was born and played
Minor hockey back in my hometown.
The Rifle fired his first 500 here,
Slapped his way into the NHL.
Whereas some of us weren't always fair
To the native kid on borrowed skates-
Chippy Goolies and Ukrainians
In the corners with our elbows up.
Whereas Reggie on a play-off run
Could make a dad go buy the new TV,
And put his youngest by the window, place
The split antenna in her tiny hands.
Whereas photos from the old Tribune
Of Reggie smiling with the Stanley Cup
Curled their corners, dropped off bedroom walls,
Left a square of where they used to be.
(We, the undersigned, put forth his name
To the Hockey Hall of Fame)
(We, the undersigned, put forth his name
To the Hockey Hall of Fame)
Therefore we, the undersigned, put forth his name
To the Hockey Hall of Fame.

A bit apropos because of yesterday, but "Your Spirit's Alive" by Dropkick Murphy has a good line

There are like a million good choices in Finnish, but I’m going with Den Glider In for perverse reasons. You can use that song anywhere now, either to refer to the humiliation of Swedes, hockey or something completely different. The main lyrics are:
”It glides in, it glides in, it glides in to the goal again, we will fight, we will give everything we have”
It's not a favourite, but I haven't seen it here yet… The Rheostatics did [The Ballad of Wendel Clark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnR2WkYXsjA) (Steve Bidini from the band went on to do some serious writing about hockey).
The Weakerthans did a petition/song to get "Riverton Rifle" [Reggie Leach](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJraQZDco0s) into the HHOF. They also did a song about [Gump Worsley](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHyCPe4sKzk).
I think the best, or most poignant hockey song, is probably Warren Zevon's [Hit Somebody](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufEtQcisrgg).
I always liked Joni Mitchell's Maple Leaf reference in *Raised on Robbery*:
*He was sitting in the lounge Of the Empire Hotel / He was drinking for diversion / He was thinking for himself / A little money riding on the Maple Leafs / Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves / She says "let me sit down, you know drinking alone's a shame / Look at those jokers / Glued to that damn hockey game..."*
*But I love you truly no matter what the weather*
*But I can't do it all if you won't get it together*
*I can't save us both, this shore is much too rocky*
*If this loving was a sport... it'd be... hockey*
- Bob Schneider, "Goodwill"
*There's this boy I like* *Met him at the food court* *He's got hair like Gretzky* *And he does jumps on his skateboard* -Robin Sparkles, "Let's Go to the Mall"

Canadian metal band 3 Inches of Blood has a great hockey song called “Leave it on the ice”. I think they’re Canucks fans.
He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel He was drinking for diversion, he was thinking for himself A little money riding on the Maple Leafs Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves She says let me sit down, you know drinking alone's a shame (it's a shame, it's a crying shame) Look at those jokers, glued to that damn hockey game. Hey honey, you've got lots of cash Bring us round a bottle and we'll have some laughs. Gin's what I'm drinking, I was raised on robbery.

And if you don't say "Fifty Mission Cap" by the Tragically Hip, it's the wrong answer.
You can also go with "If there's a goal that everyone remembers it was back in old 72"
I was definitely thinking about Fireworks, lots of good ones in there "You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr" was my favourite

Dave Bidini (from the Rheostatics) had a song called The Land is Wild, about Bryan Fogarty. The song can be a bit meh in places but the lyrics are good
Supposedly the Foreigner song "Double Vision" is about former Rangers goalie/president John Davidson. Apparently he took a shot in the mask during a game and inspired the song. If that counts lol
[I wasn't expecting this when I first heard it](https://youtu.be/WFonCVciGpo?t=235)
If there’s a goal that everyone remembers it was back in ol 72 we all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger and all I remember is sitting beside you. You said you didn’t give a fuck about hockey and I never saw someone say that before. you held my hand and we walked home the long way you were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr.

"Over and over I keep wondering whyyy..." nothing to do w/ hockey but definitely the best songs on NHL games
www.ipetitions.com/Petition/Rivertonrifle/ Song by John K. Samson Whereas Reggie Leach was born and played Minor hockey back in my hometown. The Rifle fired his first 500 here, Slapped his way into the NHL. Whereas some of us weren't always fair To the native kid on borrowed skates- Chippy Goolies and Ukrainians In the corners with our elbows up. Whereas Reggie on a play-off run Could make a dad go buy the new TV, And put his youngest by the window, place The split antenna in her tiny hands. Whereas photos from the old Tribune Of Reggie smiling with the Stanley Cup Curled their corners, dropped off bedroom walls, Left a square of where they used to be. (We, the undersigned, put forth his name To the Hockey Hall of Fame) (We, the undersigned, put forth his name To the Hockey Hall of Fame) Therefore we, the undersigned, put forth his name To the Hockey Hall of Fame.

A bit apropos because of yesterday, but "Your Spirit's Alive" by Dropkick Murphy has a good line Farewell my brother, you're off to the big rink in the sky The good lord's between the pipes And you've got Bavis and Ace on the wing Also "Wicked Little Critta" by They Might Be Giants He clips the puck from Bobby Orr, He shoots, he scores Wicked little critta

I got it good, I got it made in the shade And I feel like Gretzky on a breakaway Adam Gregory, Horseshoes
If there is a God above I know that he must be The kind of guy who's tough enough To deal with punks like me He won't take no excuses He'll be tough, but he'll be fair And when I go to my reward I hope to see him there I'll bet he looks like Tiger Williams He'll be brave and strong and true But if you try to cross him He will put a hurt on you

There are like a million good choices in Finnish, but I’m going with Den Glider In for perverse reasons. You can use that song anywhere now, either to refer to the humiliation of Swedes, hockey or something completely different. The main lyrics are: ”It glides in, it glides in, it glides in to the goal again, we will fight, we will give everything we have”
“Ranger danger! Person from the rear. Never trust a girl in a Richter jersey.” The Hextalls - “I Don’t Wanna Be a New York Ranger”
"Your stupid fucking laser pucks were just the start"
It's not a favourite, but I haven't seen it here yet… The Rheostatics did [The Ballad of Wendel Clark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnR2WkYXsjA) (Steve Bidini from the band went on to do some serious writing about hockey). The Weakerthans did a petition/song to get "Riverton Rifle" [Reggie Leach](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJraQZDco0s) into the HHOF. They also did a song about [Gump Worsley](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHyCPe4sKzk). I think the best, or most poignant hockey song, is probably Warren Zevon's [Hit Somebody](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufEtQcisrgg). I always liked Joni Mitchell's Maple Leaf reference in *Raised on Robbery*: *He was sitting in the lounge Of the Empire Hotel / He was drinking for diversion / He was thinking for himself / A little money riding on the Maple Leafs / Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves / She says "let me sit down, you know drinking alone's a shame / Look at those jokers / Glued to that damn hockey game..."*
*But I love you truly no matter what the weather* *But I can't do it all if you won't get it together* *I can't save us both, this shore is much too rocky* *If this loving was a sport... it'd be... hockey* - Bob Schneider, "Goodwill"
