Are you tired of hearing the same boring goal song used over and over again by the same few teams? The Canucks were way ahead of you in that regard and have decided to allow their players to choose an individual song for each player on the team when they score a goal.
Most of the players didn’t care what was selected, while some of the younger players had an easy choice right off the bat. Radim Vrbata on the other hand had an interesting thought – why not let the fans choose.
Your goal, your song. #Canucks to debut individual goal songs; help pick Vrbata's.

I saw this tweet and my mind started to race, certain songs match certain players perfectly. Most of them are complete no brainers.
Dalton Prout: “Mama Said Knock You Out”
Prout isn’t known much around the NHL for his prowess with the puck, it is mostly for his heavy fists. Famously he knocked out Milan Lucic in one of the more controversial moments in the league last year. This song is a match made in heaven for the heavy handed player.
Connor McDavid: “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
Being one of the top players in the game so early in his career has to be tough on one’s psyche. McDavid is trying to start a revolution and this song is all about that. Now will it be a pseudo revolution like in the song or is McDavid really going to change the game?
Jeff Skinner: “Symphonies”
One of the absolute smoothest skaters in the game, Skinner has a way about him that makes you wish you had a quarter of the skill he has. The way I would describe him as a player is symphonic, a player with a multi faceted skill set coming together in beautiful harmony.
So what do you all think? Do you think the Canucks individual goal song method is going to catch on? It could be an awful lot of fun for players around the league and it could anger opposing fans if you choose the right song.
