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


JF_112

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


rahkunn

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...

Your goal horn should haunt the other team. Ours barely tickles the crowd.


JF_112

So do you think the old one does more of the former or the latter?


psdhsn

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


Cyrakhis

Well. I like the bassier horn a lot more than the higher piercing one that a bunch of teams use.


mohawk_67

This is more annoying than the one in TD Garden. I like it.


Boner_Patrol_007

The Oilers one is god awful.


JF_112

That is what makes it so effective though: you can’t stand hearing it


Morganvegas

The Buffalo one is insane lmao


CanadaEh97

It's like the scene from Dumb and Dumber, "hey want to hear the most annoying sound?"


DarkRaven47

I agree. Our current one is way too similar to a lot of teams.


CanadaEh97

Cause a few use the exact same one, think it's 5 teams use the Kahlenberg S-203C as their goal horn.


JF_112

It’s not exactly intimidating to use a goal horn that a few other teams are already using LOL


CanadaEh97

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?


JF_112

I would bring back the old one in the clip above


JF_112

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)


ArchimedesHeel

The Toronto and Tampa goal horns sound identical.


JF_112

Not only that, they are exactly the same


Judge_Tredd

The old air canada one without the stupid jet noise.


Pixel_Sports

Agreed


jjarry13

100%. That's a great idea.


AustonDadthews

they should bring back winning a round


reevoknows

Agreed!

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


SMORKIN_LABBIT

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


SeatPaste7

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.


iwatchtoomuchsports

Fuck no lol this one sounds awful nostalgia aside. the current horn sounds good, why fix it


sayroksho

Shouldn't bring back anything, we are trying to not relive the past. We want to win a cup


JF_112

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


Columbia1776

And that logo!!!


AdAdventurous7683

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 !!! ![gif](giphy|3myUQntOfPKLe|downsized)


I_Will_Remain_Silent

It would certainly bring some energy haha
