Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I wish they would use the organ more often <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me too- but that was a little loud for the people in the bar!
dj_hoime Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 What about that song "Good old Hockey Game" I like that one. I love the goal horn but some games they do it and not others, turn it up get the place rocking along with the band playing. I dont think the Rea would do this but I think Colorado turns the lights off and Has a spotlight on the player that scored.
Fedorov Posted May 4, 2005 Author Posted May 4, 2005 More Cowbell?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20050504/en_tv_...6478_1115230040
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I prefer Blur Song 2. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>What about Stand Up and Cheer?... I Wanna Drive a Zamboni is a must... Cowbell? Who are we, Mankato?
Sioux-cia Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Me too- but that was a little loud for the people in the bar! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wish I could hear the organ period. I didn't hear it at all this past season and I don't think I hear it last year either. Maybe I just missed it. Seems like a waste of a very expensive piece of musical equipment that was put in the arena specifically to be heard.
siouxnami Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 The biggest problem with the horn is that you can't get Pepper food within hearing distance of it... Clearly a REA design flaw.
Fedorov Posted May 5, 2005 Author Posted May 5, 2005 I wonder if there is any way to get the volume turned up. I was curious how the results would go with this poll.
redwing77 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I wonder if there is any way to get the volume turned up. I was curious how the results would go with this poll. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I asked if there was a way to actually have decent volume in the arena. I was told that they can't for fear of blasting the ears off the old farts walking along the concourse. I always knew that they would have a great sound system and an organ that could have been ommitted because they'll either never get used or they'll never get used to their potential.
Upper Deck Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I wish we got to hear the horn more often last year There is a taste difference between imported (US version) Blue and Molson than the domestic (Canadian version). The domestic is much smoother and the imported seems a little more Heinekin-like (to me). You really can't beat a domestic long neck Blue or Blue Light. This was discovered after turning 18 and driving either one hour to Emerson our two hours to catch a Jets game in Winnepeg. Sometimes both. To me, the band makes the the college atmoshpere that more "collegey." If I want to hear Guns-N-Roses or Start Me Up, I can go to the dome or plop in a tape in the boombox . . .

Wow, every year I go up to Canada camping and bring US Blue. Maybe I'll have to pick it up over the border this year.... I agree on the band. That would be my preference.
mikejm Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Wow, every year I go up to Canada camping and bring US Blue. Maybe I'll have to pick it up over the border this year.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Make sure you bring extra cash. What is a case of Blue in Canada? $50?
Upper Deck Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Make sure you bring extra cash. What is a case of Blue in Canada? $50? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think a "2-4" (a case) is about $500 Canadian, but with the exchange rate, it's not much more than a 2-4 of US brewskis. There is a definite taste difference between the stuff shipped to the states and the domestic, eh, with my preference for the Canadian version.
dagies Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Make sure you bring extra cash. What is a case of Blue in Canada? $50? I know. That's why we always carry it across the border!
Sioux-cia Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I think a "2-4" (a case) is about $500 Canadian, but with the exchange rate, it's not much more than a 2-4 of US brewskis. I have to admit I'm not a beer connoisseur, I drink MGD, but $500 even Canadian seems like a lot for beer .
Upper Deck Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I have to admit I'm not a beer connoisseur, I drink MGD, but $500 even Canadian seems like a lot for beer . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok, $500 is a little off A 2-4 of Canadian beer is only a few bucks more than a case of Bud bottles.
YaneA Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 redwing: The song is "Jolene" by Dolly Parton and you're right, it should never be played anywhere but a redneck bar. BTW, remind me never to use you as my "Phone-A-Friend" if the question is about country music when I'm in the Who Wants to be a Millionaire hotseat.

I would be the "Phone-a-Friend" on the country music questions. I've got a couple of Final Five and Frozen Four photos that will be coming your way, once I figure out some of this technology b.s. No "Phone-A-Friend" on that front.

Upper Deck Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 As of September 2004, a 2-4 = case in Rainy River, ON. The last time I was in Winnepeg was about 10 years ago, so the verbage may have changed in that region but has not yet transended into the Rainy River Region. I haven't heard "box" before, but I may be out of touch, eh?

Upper Deck Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Yes, Canadians do call it a "box" of beer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow, I feel so out of touch. A box it is. There is a wealth of information on this board . . . I will inform the Rainy Riverans in a few weeks about the "box" so they can catch up with the rest of their country's verbage.
bigmrg74 Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 They're Canadians. Don't they have like a hundred different names for Beer??
