Contest- Tickets to the Home Opener

Comments (69)

In just 41 short days, the Ottawa Senators will play their home opener against Dany Heatley and the Minnesota Wild.

It will be the first in a series of special nights at Scotiabank Place and you and a friend could be there when the Sens open their season at SBP on Tuesday, October 11. Here is how you can win...

We're going to take a little walk down memory lane. In 200 words or less, email me your favourite Sens related memory at Scotiabank Place. It can be something amazing, something funny or just something that has stuck with you over the years. I'll sort through the entires and pick out a top five to share with everyone later this week.

Then next Monday, I'll do a draw from the five finalists to pick the winner. You have until tomorrow (Friday) at 6:00 PM to send your submission to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Entries that are over 200 words will not be considered.

Special thanks to friend of SensChirp, Mike McCarthy, for providing the tickets for this contest. Remember, he is the guy you want to contact if you are considering a ticket package for next season.

You can reach him at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more details. A couple other bits of news and info.

The Ottawa Senators are asking fans what they would like to hear as the team's new official goal song. You can get more information from the Sens Facebook page.
Could be some changes in store for SensChirp as we head in to a new season. I know we are just getting settled into the new design but with all the issues, I'm looking at the possibility of returning to a more simple format. Will share details as they become available.

I think we should use DISAPPEAR(think thats the name of the song) by Metallica. Think it was in Mission Impossible. As in THE PUCK DISAPPEARS behind the crappy opposing goalie. The song should be edgy seeing that we'll be one of the toughest teams in the league.

Chirp, the link you posted the the official Sens facebook page doesn't work. Did you mean: http://www.facebook.com/ottawasenators

I say we Rick Roll every opposing goalie when possible. I nominate Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give you up" as hometown goal scored. Imagine the hilarity that would ensue every time a goal was scored in SPB?

+3 #4 SlickRick 2011-09-01 14:53

The Rick ROll thing is funny but after a while I'd want to kill myself (not before taking people wearing Leaf jerseys even though the Leafs aren't playing) with me.

+2 #5 SlickRick 2011-09-01 14:58

"Know your Enemy" or "Freedom" by Rage would be good (but probably too loud and proud for Ottawa residents)

0 #6 my2sens 2011-09-01 15:02

SC - I'm not too good with the music... so I will leave that to the others to decide.

As for the contest - THANK YOU!!! You rock!

PS. I have sent 'Candy' and 'Sunshine' to your house to help you choose me... uh... the winner!

+1 #7 SensChops 2011-09-01 16:05

I thought the goal song was different depending on which player scored the goal?

Quoting SensChops:

I know we did, just haven't noticed it with all the time between goals the last few years.

I like the idea of playing a different song depending on the player. Just play some generic Top 40 crap for the newer guys until they get settled in and given a song.

0 #9 Sens1 2011-09-01 22:54

The oooh oooh part from "Barbra Streisand" song by ducksauce. Easy to sing and along the lines of "chelsea dagger" at the Blackhawks games.

Bring back "raise a little hell" by Trooper, enough said.

Was visiting a paper's web site & saw a hate filled reader comment about the Murrays.
1) I don't get what drives this hatred. What started it and prompts it?
2) most folks don't even know them & don't know what goes on "backstage"
3) why are some compelled to harp on things they don't know & can't change?
4) is their own lame ass job worthy of public focus? Would all of their own visible decisions survive scrutiny?
5) sadly, I find that ethics and integrity are just words to a lot of people & foreign words for many...

Can I watch some hockey yet?

Re: song.
I just hope it's not some crappy club mix dance track or rusty outdated metal. Rock on.

I got a feeling wooo hooo by black eyed peas when we are ahead and score.
(thats going to be often tookie lol)
I have other ideas but I think any song that you pick is going to get old quick.

They just need a great DJ.
A DJ can make or break a party.
If the one we have sucks get a better one.

If we have a Lady GaGa song every time we score a goal, I will never go to a game again.

0 #19 conservativeHippie 2011-09-02 09:46

The goal song has to be a Canadian group, preferably someone from Ottawa.

Either that, or party all the time by Eddie Murphy HAHAHA

-3 #20 hello_gary 2011-09-02 09:48

How about "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister?
I liked the idea of the "Barbara Striesand" song, but the song says "Barbara Striesand" in it, which therefore makes it void.

I think the Sens brass should try and stay away from current top 40 crap, because, well, it's crap.

"Hells Bells" by AC/DC would be a good song to party to.

Quoting SensChops:

@SensChops -
Yes this is somewhat true. I know that Mike Fisher had his own song by Christian rock group "Thousand Foot Krutch"; When Marian Hossa was playing for us he had Alice Cooper's "Eighteen" after his age in his rookie season and his number.

*cough*danyheatleyalsohadonetoo,butnoonegaveafeck*cough* - Oops, pardon me.

I did a search online for NHL goal songs, the Yahoo Sports website has this posted for the 2010-11 Top Eastern Conference Goal celebration ranking:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/NHL-2010-11-Goal-Celebration-Ranking-Eastern-Co?urn=nhl-281859

I have to admit, I was surprised to see Ottawa at #4 with Train Horn. But I guess we are one of only a handfull of teams that use player-specific goal songs.

-2 #23 SNOOPY SENIOR 2011-09-02 10:36

Maybe the Senators should simply play the same song after all the goals they score.

"We Will Rock You" should say, "Senators Will Rock You "

Glad to hear you're considering somewhat of a rollback to the site - getting frustrated with some of the issues makes me not want to come back. And as for the contest - does it have to be a memory of Scotiabank Place - I have some fond memories/quips from my visit to Sweden for their season opener a couple of years back.

0 #28 BaldBastard 2011-09-02 11:51

It's out there but something along the line of Vato Gonzalez ft Foreign Beggars 'Badman Riddim. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI9EmaruT0s&feature=relmfu

Yea, I'm looking forward to a return a more simple layout. There are definitely some benefits to the way it is now but I just think we the readership that comes to this site, those benefits aren't really all that necessary.

And yea, has to be something from SBP. Although I'd be interested to hear about the stories in Sweden too haha.

OK, how about Change by Taylor Swift or BEP - I Gotta Feeling?

+1 #31 Ktown 2011-09-02 13:02

So... I'm thinking this is song to get in the goalie's kitchen and also get the crowd into it. The song should depenant on what the score is:

Welcome to Jungle, GnR (First goal...or if we are winning)
Thunderstruck, AC DC (All other goals)

+1 #32 miguel 2011-09-02 13:02

ok I absolutely love that song in the Chrysler commercial I think its M&M, and what some of the guys did to incorporate the Sens season
I say we use a portion of that after every goal

-7 #33 mycall 2011-09-02 13:12

More Carrie Underwood and Hillary Duff songs please

+2 #34 Joe Bob 2011-09-02 13:53

I'd let the Sens players decide. There must be some songs out there that our team will get pumped about.

+3 #35 Jonny Jon Jon 2011-09-02 14:24

Wow, what's up with the dance music from Swift, Gaga and BEP. Let's NOT bring dance music to a hockey game. It'll remind me of the Disco Break in that Zohan movie (sandler).

And none of that 80's rock music cliche either (GNR and ACDC) BOOOOOOOOORRRRR IiIIIIINNNNNGGG GG!

I vote for Refused...CAN I SCREAAAAMMMMMM!

Wow, we went from having a positive Thumbs up on comments type of day yesterday to a major thumbs down today. I can see why, no new topics to discuss and some very odd music choices. Personally the topic of what music is played is somewhat borning. Since it's all that's being discussed on this Friday afternoon before the last long weekend of the summer, here is what I'd like to hear. These are songs that I find pump me up, hard to say they'd do well as Goal scoring songs though.

Every Little Thing Counts - Janus Stark
Boom - P.O.D
Black Betty - Remix by Spiderbait
Riot - Three Days Grace
I love it loud - Kiss

Damn I want a beer right about now.

Born to Be Wild to 'get the fans jumping'? Jesus come join the rest of us in the 21st Century!

New Noise by Refused would be pretty great but I think it might be a hair too much for the average fan.

I suggested 2 songs:
Give It All by Rise Against
Catchy chorus, sing-a-long lyrics, and we want the boys to GIVE IT ALL this year.

Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes
Touchdown song for Penn State and when you hear 80-thousand ppl chanting the dooo-do-do-do-d oo-ooo it's pretty sweet.

The Righteous and the Wicked by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I'm pretty sure the organization would have no problem ditching their family friendly atmosphere to have a profane goal song that causes uncontrollable pelvic thrusts.

Quoting Sandy:

And I think the older crowd needs to be represented but for a goal-celebratio n it's a chance to engage the youth, and make it more of a party atmosphere.

They're still gonna play oldies songs (and I hope they do), but that's not the kind of thing that gets 20K ppl out of their seats and dancing.

For the record: I can't STAND Song #2 by Blur. Glad it was finally retired. Maybe Cotton-Eyed Joe is next? They've been playing that since the Civic Center and it's only gotten worse with time!

My vote is for paralyser by finger11. Catchy tune, Canadian band.

-1 #52 conservativeHippie 2011-09-03 08:57

Does Hollerado have any catchy tunes that are goal sound worthy? IMO, hollerado would be the best possible group to have in there. They are a true Ottawa (manotick) band, and winner of a local radio (live 88.5) battle of the bands which made them...

DO IT!

Thought you were onto something with the beginning of unknown soldier...Ever read the lyrics???

"killing many men not asking what for

die one by one his luck is running out
Joe wrote back home his parents unemployed
the rich is fucking laughing profits from the war
Joe is off to die another senseless war
no arms no legs his mother cries at home
Joey wears the flag so proud to fight for us
and for a government who doesnt give a fuck"
