Its a good tune and its meant to get people out of their seats to stand up and dance. Plus for kids who go to their first leafs game dreaming of seeing a goal, they "make their dreams come true, oohwoo ooh ooh".

And it makes so many people angry, so thats fun as well.

But it also blows, is incredibly gimmicky and was overkilled like two years ago.

Being fair, you're right, but at the same time, Josh Anderson is a really, really far cry from Marchand, Wilson or Tkachuk. PLD is a female dog. Please let's not put him in that mix.

Anderson is a big guy with a good shot and when he gets motivated and going, he can be good - and that said he's never passed 27 goals in a season, and has been pacing around 20 for the past 3 seasons with just massive negative statistics. In his playoff runs - two of which standout (Montreal and Columbus the year they beat Tampa), he was far from the reason, with 1 goal in 10 games, and 5 goals and an assist in 22.

My problem is that he's just so expensive for a guy who is really a third line player who can bounce up to the top-6 when needed there.

But also, in agreeing with your point, that's my point as well - the Leafs' system doesn't easily forgive guys who go out of their way to deliver hits and are late on the backcheck. We want to block the neutral zone and put pressure on the puck carrier prior to zone entry - if you're out of position, you're not helping in the NZ. In the D-Zone, we're better equipped to deliver hits (a la Muzzin or Boosh, etc.), but on the forecheck, I'm not sure Keefe wants a lot of that if the puck is moving back up ice.

It's easy to get swept up in Josh Anderson hype because he basically plays like Mike Bossy against the Leafs and then is a good 3rd liner the rest of the year.

Most are standing happy cause we scored not because of the music. Kids will dance to anything. They like teletubbies and Barney.

Its crappy. Not gonna change my mind there.

2 year olds like teletubbies....so babies pretty much.
Im talking about kids 5 -13.
Most remain standing cause of the fun song.
Now personally im not tied to it, i dont really care what they play. Its a goal song, who cares

But its just so funny that so many are angered by it and the leafs havent changed it.
