ECAC QF Game 1: Union 3 Cornell 2

[Trotsky]

I'm OK with gradually fazing out old songs and replacing them with new ones.  "Dr. Worm" and "Knights of Cydonia" are my favorite songs played by the band, now -- and even though those are "new" they're, what, 15-20 years old?  Speaking as a Who fan I never really liked their version of "Pinball Wizard," and "Gonna Fly Now" was great but also something you could hear in a hundred rinks.

The one song they can never stop playing is "Sing, Sing, Sing."  That's the signature song, AFAIC.

Obvs everybody's tastes are different, though.

I've always thought of "Gonna Fly Now" as a constituent element of trying to induce "the Zone" in the team. Burst out onto the rink for a lap or two (which they don't do any more but really, really should), "Gonna Fly Now" (instead of the fight song), and then (although it was a later add-on) transition into "Rock and Roll Part 2"——all these things in this pattern were part of signaling that something about the third period is very different and worth getting absolutely crazy about.

Lynah psychological warfare, for our team and against the others.

What happened? The team started just ambling onto the bench, the band butchered "Gonna Fly Now" for years by rushing it as they do everything these days, and, for some unknown reason recently, the band started thinking that playing all of "Rock and Roll Part 2," instead of having the fans sing parts of it (which always sounds very, very cool), is the most important thing on earth, i.e., all what I've said earlier about making very "unusual" choices.

But what do I know? Try to interest anyone in the current band (except the Bones) about well over thirty years of tradition sometime and how change is not always essentially good. I dare you.

It's all been shite since we lost the washboard.

This was an NCAA rule change. Only players who are going to start the period are allowed on the ice.

Yeah, that's beyond stupid. Too many administrators with not enough to do trying to justify their existences by creating new rules.
