"Leafs change their goal song so often I’m not sure which is the official, full-time song anymore. I would say that Vancouver has the best goal song in the league." one fan wrote.
"why are these the only choices? Chelsea Dagger needs to be put in the dustbin of hell and never be heard from again." another fan wrote.

"Boston and Chicago need to move on from theirs, they’ve have them so long they just become an eye roll every time I hear them." a fan wrote.
"Goal songs should have an obvious tie in with the team name/mascot or the team's location. That leaves Detroit/Without Me, Seattle/Lithium, and Calgary/TNT as clearly above the rest." another user wrote.

NHL analyst Scott Maxwell shares his take on NHL goal songs

NHL analyst Scott Maxwell on DailyFaceoff shared his insights on the significance of goal songs, a crucial element that can elevate the fan experience. Acknowledging that music is a subjective matter, Maxwell noted that his own ranking of goal songs was based on several factors.

"In terms of mine, my own list was created based off how prominent they are with their respective team, how much it pumps up the crowd (organically, not through generic chants), and how creative of an option it is," Maxwell said.

Maxwell pointed out that the quality of the song matters, and added that bonus points go to teams whose goal songs reflect the team's identity or come from a local artist.
