BUFFALO, N.Y. — There will be no individual goal songs for Buffalo Sabres players this season.
So unlike last season, you won't hear Abba, Twisted Sister, Foreigner, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or music from "High School Musical" after the Sabres score a goal. The team made that clear with a social media post on Thursday morning.
"New goal song dropping this season," the Sabres said, without giving any further clues about what to expect when Buffalo does score a goal at KeyBank Center.
Then came the home opener Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings, during a 3-1 loss, when Zach Benson scored what appeared to be the Sabres' first home goal of the season — only it wasn't a goal at all. It was waved off because the end of the first period happened before the puck crossed the line.
So when the Sabres blared Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart," it only proved to be a spoiler for when the Sabres do score their first home goal of the season.
The Sabres, during the first intermission, revealed that there are actually two goal songs this season. Motley Crue will be played when the team wears blue and gold, and Blur's "Song 2" will be used on Goathead nights.
