Vancouver Canucks Fans Choose Japandroids For Team's New Entrance Music
Vancouver Canucks fans have chosen Japandroids cut "The House That Heaven Built" built to be the NHL team's new entrance music, reportedly beating out songs from Guns N' Roses and Nickelback. That's right: Canadian hockey fans said "no" to Nickelback. Can we all pause for one reflective moment and congratulate the slow but sure progress of our species? I think we deserve it.
As you'll remember, this isn't the first time Nickelback and hockey have mixed with controversial results: a pair of Winnipeg music critics fought especially hard to have the band booted from a season-opening event for the Winnipeg Jets back in 2011. (Erstwhile, The Black Keys' Patrick Carney fights especially hard to have Nickelback booted fro...
I love this celebration. I know next time he plays the Kings, they probably will get retribution. I also understand his Oilers teammates won't like the solo celebration. Nevertheless, I can't get upset by such an innocent celebration.
SportsOlogy's one incredibly egregious error is the fact that they don't really cover the wonderful world of the NHL. This is when FilmOlogy has to step in and provide hard hitting insight on the Stanley Cup, especially when this insight involves an adorable toddler.
If you're not aware, the LA Kings won the Stanley Cup last night, totally violating the New Jersey Devils with a five point win in the final game of the series. Much celebration was had, even by the people in LA who don't actually know what hockey is.
The game's playoff MVP and Conn Smythe Trophy winner was Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick. In the postgame press conference Quick and coach Darryl Sutter sat down to talk to the members of the press. The thing about this that already bothers me is the fact that when you just won the Stanley Cup, the last thing you want to do is sit down quietly in a roomful of vultures. You want to drink some Labatt Blue out of that sucker and try to find a hockey bar so you can get some free drinks out of the situation.
Luckily, the press conference was saved by Quick's daughter, the super adorable Madison. She basically ran around the whole time waving a Kings flag and spewing nonsense. Then at one point there was a grave M&M emergency when she started to choke. Quick earns his MVP status by essentially forcing the sugary confection out of her throat.
See? Even though you probably don't give two shits about hockey, you can still find this adorable and worthy of a SportsOlogy post. All is right with the world.
