![]() ![]() I'm pretty sure he meant that the positive response was supposed to start in the locker room first and then filter out through the fan base, but it's certain that this was a well-thought out plan by the players as another sign of an intended turn around. When I told him that after I posted it on Twitter that it had a bigger positive response from the fans than anything involving the game, he laughed and said, "That's the idea." ![]() I followed up with Hartnell and he had a similar smirk on his face when he said, "It wasn't just me… it was a few of the guys who requested the change." ![]() "It wasn't me," Giroux said with a knowing smile. I tried to ask both of them about it after the game, and neither really wanted to talk about it - probably because it might screw with the karma of the song, and you know how superstitious hockey players are - but both did acknowledge that it wasn't an accidental change. I was told by someone who would know, that the request to switch songs from Redfoo's "Bring out the Bottles" back to "Knock Knock" was made by two people - Claude Giroux and Scott Hartnell. So, why not celebrate it for a few minutes in an old way - one that garnered so much publicity during their time on the HBO documentary 24/7: Road to the Winter Classic. It's not like Sunday's 3-2 win over Buffalo was a thing of beauty that's going to propel them on some Blackhawkian winning streak - although you never know what the butterfly effect can do in the sport of hockey - but it was a start, a necessary start - a season-saving start. #Knock hockey mac#They needed to get their groove back.Īnd if playing a catchy Mac Miller song after wins helps them find that groove just a little bit more, then so be it. The Flyers, not happy with their performance of late, or their precarious position in the playoff race, felt like they needed to get back to doing things that made them successful. Now, it might not be a big deal to a lot of people - after all it is just a song - but if there is any morsel of real meaning behind it consider this: but the Flyers ditched their 2013 game-winning song and went a little old school. although coach Peter Laviolette will tell you that it's that kind of jam that leads to this kind of locker room celebration. PS> This may require that the goalie and corner pieces need to be correctly positioned.No not that jam. All other shots we would just use our thumb on top of the checker and flick forward. we had a rule that If you could touch the checker and the wall at the same time, with the same hand (spreading your fingers) you could move the checker over to the wall and shoot from there. Place a checker against the wall (lets say the right wall), put your right thumb against the left side of the checker while your other fingers are on the outside of the same wall (basically pressing the checker in to the wall), then squeeze the checker till it shoots forward. You can shoot the checker along the wall and have it ricochet off the corner and then again off the goalie square and POW! a goal, in one shot. Why is it better that way you ask? Our favorite part of the game was the corner/goalie combo shot :) HUH you say? Check this out. We used to play it without the sticks and a plastic checker instead of the puck. I used to play this game daily at the youth center as a kid. ![]()
