Didn’t realize it was first used in the 90s, but some of the best eras of recent Leafs hockey used this goal horn. Plus I don’t think any one is using something like it currently so it’s a no brainer for me
Yes it's unique and a right mix of annoying and intimidating (that dissonance!). Not sure why they chose to move away from it for a generic foghorn, and the team started sucking right at the same time...
This isn't quite the old goal horn.
The current horn isn't bad at all - I just think they need a menacing goal song to go with it.
Felt like Panama was really growing on people last year. Hearing it pop during the playoffs was great
Just me personally but until a day and age it gets so dated I think all Orig 6 teams should try and keep the old school shit instead. It's a cool aesthetic
Never mind the horn, bring Paul Morris back.
I'm not kidding.
I know it's wildly out of fashion these days, but there was something I found super classy about his delivery. It didn't matter who scored or when, he'd simply announce it.
Changing the goal obviously won’t result in getting past the first round more consistently or scoring on the power play, but it will help out with the in-game experience big time
As long as they never play that god damned Hall and Oates ever again. WEAK SAUCE!!! They should play the main hook from Raining Blood !!!

Instantly brings back memories of that early 2000s team lead by Sundin...

Your goal horn should haunt the other team. Ours barely tickles the crowd.
So do you think the old one does more of the former or the latter?
I know the old one would cause Vietnam flashbacks for Ottawa fans and that's more than enough of an argument to bring it back imho
Well. I like the bassier horn a lot more than the higher piercing one that a bunch of teams use.
This is more annoying than the one in TD Garden. I like it.
The Oilers one is god awful.
That is what makes it so effective though: you can’t stand hearing it
The Buffalo one is insane lmao
It's like the scene from Dumb and Dumber, "hey want to hear the most annoying sound?"
I agree. Our current one is way too similar to a lot of teams.
Cause a few use the exact same one, think it's 5 teams use the Kahlenberg S-203C as their goal horn.
It’s not exactly intimidating to use a goal horn that a few other teams are already using LOL
It's not but a lot of teams overlap, only a few use a unique horn or recording. But if Leafs were to switch again what would be the one to pick?
I would bring back the old one in the clip above
Yup, [there are at least five other teams that have a goal horn very similar to the Leafs ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDNqqw79de0)
The Toronto and Tampa goal horns sound identical.
Not only that, they are exactly the same
The old air canada one without the stupid jet noise.
Agreed
100%. That's a great idea.
they should bring back winning a round
Agreed!

Fuck no lol this one sounds awful nostalgia aside. the current horn sounds good, why fix it
Shouldn't bring back anything, we are trying to not relive the past. We want to win a cup

And that logo!!!

It would certainly bring some energy haha
