Do you miss that horn sound Washington Capitals fans?
The one that goes off at Capital One Arena every time a Washington Capitals player scores a goal. New this season, the team allowed players to pick a song of their choice that plays every time that particular player scores a goal.
Some of the songs have fans signing along right out of their seats. Others are guaranteed to be stuck in your head for the foreseeable future even without hockey.
Let’s take a look at each player’s goal song and rate it out of five stars.
Nick Jensen
Nick of Time by AC/DC: This song is a good pun off of his first name. We haven’t heard this song play over the Capital One Arena speakers yet as Nick Jensen is still searching for his first goal. 3/5
Michal Kempny
Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind: Michal Kempny‘s original song was Mic Check by Rage Against the Machine but he recently changed it. He has three goals on the season so far. 4/5
Alex Ovechkin
Shake, Rattle, and Roll by Big Joe Turner: The oldest player on the team needs a song from back in the day, right? Alex Ovechkin‘s goal song was originally Still D.R.E. by Dr. Dre but a scoring slump caused Ovechkin to change it up in late December. Encouraged by the team’s senior writer Mike Vogel, Ovechkin picked “Shake, Rattle, and Roll” and we haven’t gotten it out of our head ever since. With 48 goals on the season, it’s a good reason why. 5/5
