The good old hockey...
#1

Was anyone else watching the Senators play the Thrashers tonight? Neither was I , but I just happened to flick through and caught "Blow at High Dough" playing on the loud speaker. I suppose I wouldn't have thought much of it, but they were playing in Atlanta! The crowd was dancing along with a couple security guards. Anymore fuel for that fire, the Hip would be the next 'Loverboy' in the U.S.

I know!! I was so thrilled, I thought for a minute my computer had started playing the song!

What a heck of a game...the Senators quickly went down 3-0 and looked DOOMED but now they're leading 5-3. GO SENS!!!!

Here in Buffalo we get Blow at High Dough at alot of our games and I've even heard an occassional NOIS...but Sens fans aren't you the same arena that played the Celine Dion song from Titanic when the Sabres played you in the playoffs a few years ago...at least its not Are You Ready.
P.S. Nobody could ever be as big as Loverboy here in the states Big Grin

Man, I watched the game, and I'm always alert for a Hip song whenever I do... but I missed BAHD... although I missed the first 10 minutes of the third period... I went to get beer... I do hear a lot of Hip in Buffalo though... that kinda makes me smile cause I don't hear any in Ottawa. Which makes me wonder... are Buffolonians more intelligent than Ottawonians? That just can't be... GO SENS GO... TURN THAT SHIT AROUND...

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

I've heard Hip songs at many venues, most surprising so far was at a Dallas Stars game!

It's good lively music so why would it be a surprise that it's being played? Maybe because it's the US? Would actually be refreshing since every rink that i've played in, (when I played Midget AAA and Junior A hockey) had the same damn music. Different is good.

I wonder if any of that has to do with Pat Downie being the music dude for the Bruins...maybe he's introduced the Hip to other hockey arena music people.

Back during the World Juniors, I went and saw Canada vs. Sweden and they used clips from Twist My Arm. A great song considering how well known the Hip are in Sweden! They've even got one of the best boots of all time...

What's suprising about TTH tunes being played at the Sens/Thrashers game is because it was in the Deep South. The Hip are completely unheard of down there.

On the other hand, the likely reason is because I know that the music coordinators take input from players, and like any hockey club, I'm sure the Thrashers have their fair share of Canadians. That's the most likely explanation.

It reminds me of when the 2002 Men's Gold Medal game was played here in Salt Lake City, and Poets got a bit of play on the PA. The confusing thing about that is that it was an international competition. It's not like the "home" team, Team USA, had Canadians on it. I guess they played it out of good will, and it probably is the reason Team USA lost! Or maybe some Team USA players have picked up on The Hip from Canadian NHL teammates. Either way, there's no way the ice crew should have allowed that loonie to be embedded in the ice. That's the REAL reason why USA lost both gold medal games! Smile

It was not a at a hockey game, but I was in a small bar in New York City back in March and as I was flipping through the juke box, they had "Up To Here" in there. Nothing beat sitting and listening to NOIS in Manhatton.
