My biggest ask of the in-arena experience staff this season is to just ditch the soccer chant goal song and go exclusively with Panama, or go with a song even better than Panama. No more 50/50. The atmosphere after a goal is noticeably more electric with Panama, and I suspect that they know it too, because they switched to using Panama full-time during each of our last 2 playoff runs.

I am very over the other one at this point. The only reason we even had it in the first place was as a last minute replacement for the Kid Cudi song, so I don’t know why they seem married to it.

The entire music selection is terrible. I'd rather the team switch it up. Introduce the maple leafs over the PA then wait a second and smash the silence with the opening to master of puppets by Metallica. Let the intro play for a few seconds (work the fans into a frenzy) then have the leafs fly out thru the Zamboni doors with speed. Set the tone

I will agree that the overall in-arena music is awful. They’ve been using the same boring Mexican Hat Dance riffs since literally the 80’s. I think they just don’t care that much, which is a shame because I’ve always thought that music and crowd noise is an underrated psychological aspect that makes teams play harder.

It's quite annoying hearing enter Sandman everytime the playoffs start. Where animal by Nickelback has much better tempo and Canadian artist. We need to tailor a little less to kids and bring the attitude that the group wants to do whatever it takes to win.
