Something Hockey Is Actually Good For: Goal Horns
Monday night I'm leaping off my seat to cheer Bernie Williams' late-inning, two-out, go-ahead grand slam (those hurt like a bitch, huh?) when I realized something was missing.

My apartment needs a Yankees Celebration Activation button, something loud enough to rattle the beer bottle caps in the trash.

After a little searching, I found this huge listing of downloadable hockey goal horns. Every vacationing team is represented. They're intended to be implemented into the ESPN NHL 2K5 video game, but you can just play 'em as regular MP3s, too.

So far, I'm endorsing the San Jose version.

(By the way, Mariano Rivera has given up all of 11 hits this year and sports a 1.98 ERA. Reports of his demise, well, you know the rest.)

See now....I knew you'd find something to love about hockey!

You listened to every one of those, didn't you? Heh.

As a Mariner fan it is always heartwrenching to lose the Yinkees, sigh, at least it was Bernie who did it.

I miss hockey. Your post and link brought a tears to my eyes.

This no hockey thing is bad enough without you rubbing salt in the wounds! I hate Gary Bettman with a passion that burns like 1,000 suns. I hope someday he realizes that his expansion program is what doomed the league while he cries himself to sleep just like I do when I should be watching the playoffs. Damn him....Damn him all to hell!!!!!!!

but thanks for the mp3s - they're really cool.

Nothing quite like the sweet sound of Theo Fleury lighting the lamp for the Flames in NHL '94. His exploits in recent years only add to the legend.

Cass -

I too found myself getting watery listening to the Blues horn, and then the Preds horn...good lord, then I got REALLY REALLY mad at those bastards...It's May and I look forward to the Pony races and the Indy Race...sigh...I miss hockey.

I traded David Wells for Mariano Rivera on April 8th. I'm the man!
