#NHL #GoalHorns #Hockey
I’m a lifelong Rangers fan, putting Boston at #29 is a cardinal sin. They are top 5 with or without a real horn. The transition into Kernkraft 400 is SICK.
Strongly disagree, there’s really nothing special about their horn. It’s cheap sounding and has an overused goal song
@@alexniemy7346 100% agree. The song pisses me off just like "Last Christmas" ...and I don't dislike the BBruins.
Also, Detroit should be last. Dallas first by a million miles when you factor in the Pantera.
Last thing. Ducks is a lighthouse for horn. Awful.
Agreed
Putting the Bruins horn at 29 is a tragedy and I’m a Habs fan
Their “horn” isn’t anything special. It’s literally a stupid mp3 file. At least their team is better than their horn. Can’t say the same about Chicago or Columbus, that’s for sure. They’re the opposite
So your a blues fan)
.
@@obesechicken1234 furthest thing from that
@@JDX42 Ducks?
The Stars goal horn is just the pure embodiment of hype. It's as if Pantera put an entire monster energy can in musical form. The horn itself is also perfect. Loud, powerful, and unstoppable. God I love this team.
In my opinion the Stars and Kraken have the 2 best goal/song combinations. This is going to be a hell of a series just because of that.
Yeah. The Stars’ horn has successfully made me a Stars fan, especially considering my home team is the literal worst team to ever hit the ice.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, as Bruins fan, but in the playoffs a few years ago I loved hearing Hall & Oates whenever the Maple Leafs scored on us at home.
That Stars horn is straight chills every time 🥶
The on screen comments for each team made this video so much funnier than it should have been
For anyone asking, the Flyers horn song is “Celtic invasion”, it’s the entrance music for Becky Lynch, who’s a WWE wrestler.
Dallas and buffalo are my favorite horns. Give me shivers every time
Man, you're the first person I've ever come across who's BASHED the song 'Don't You Forget About Me', by Simple Minds that the Canucks used. It is a timeless 80s classic, and the thought of someone actively hating it just astounds me.
Agree. It’s one of the few classic songs that works.
I feel like we also have one of the better horns in the NHL
I know right!
I’ve been to a canucks game, the horn ain’t even that loud, and the crowd sings to the lyrics on the big screen in the middle
The horn sounds like a nightmare, song is great but just isnt what you think of when you imagine a hype goal song
As a Panthers fan, it really hurts that Sweetness was dropped for individual goal songs
I’m with you.
Agreed, it was such a classic!
I liked sweetness, but it was time for a change. Also Chucky’s goal song in comedic
Man I went to Sunrise to see the Bruins play them and they kicked our ass but when I heard Sweetness it just brought me back to middle school
Chucky and swaggy have top tier goal songs tho
Fantastic job with your rankings. You have my favorite horns and 1 and 2. I like watching Stars and Preds highlights when they're at home just to hear those horns.
Can’t go wrong withDagger at #4. One of the leagues most iconic songs, and definitely a powerful horn. Too bad we aren’t hearing it much this season. But hey Man, you know how to rank 😎
When they started using that song years ago I first thought what the hell is this crap. Then they kept winning and the crowd kept going nuts and now in my mind chelsea dagger is the quintessential goal song that all other goal songs must strive to live up to.
@colebevans8939 I totally agree, it’s totally iconic and only fits in Chicago. Kind of like the Bulls intro during the Jordan Championship years which they still use now. Whenever the iconic song the Bulls use at home games is played somewhere else it just doesn’t feel the same.
Unpopular opinion: I really like the jarring noise the Oilers goal horn makes, as it serves to annoy the away team
To each their own!
Same, the goal song is 🔥🔥🔥
Even more unpopular opinion, the Carolina hurricanes goal horn is top 3
Although I do agree with one thing mentioned in your countdown. The Wild need to bring back Crowd Chant. I was picked for a random survey at a recent MN Wild game. I said bring back Crowd Chant. He wrote my suggestions in the notes and then tried to tell me that the players are the one who picked to replace it with Shout by the Isley brothers. I’m having a tough time believing that, but that’s what I was told
"How does one party in a paint can?" 😂😂
I absolutely LOVE the Oilers' goal song and horn is great. Shoulda been better; same goes for the Flyers.😵
At least the fans can somewhat participate, unlike their previous goal song.
@@grahamdamberger7130 WDYM, Philadelphia or Edmonton? Either way, they could probably sing WHOA-O-O-O-O-O and then say "Let's Go Blank."
@@edsontransports9400 I was answering your first part, which was about the Oilers.
@@grahamdamberger7130 OK ?
The “How does one party inside a paint can?” line for Pittsburgh’s ranking has me dying 😂 Real honest list here too, I agree to most of the placements
🙌
@@EliteGoalHorns Except Calgary’s.
And the Bruins.
@@EliteGoalHorns I LIKE THE NUCKS HORN W NUCKS
@@EliteGoalHorns BUT THE STARS ARE THE BEST
The devils have another thing: at the end of the goal song, they play the ric flair “woo” sound the amount of times that they have scored (ex: after 4th goal, 4 “woo”s are played. The crowd gets really into it
It's the same for the stars, but with their goal horn (4goal, 4blast)😂🤘
Dude, the theme song at the beginning reminded me of the Hartford Whalers and it’s just so nostalgic 🥲
I kinda just think cbj’s horn needs some more “ooomph” more power behind it you know i feel its too quiet maybe add something to it maybe louder
I a lighting fan my personal favorite is the predators or the blue jackets horn by why does the buffalo sabers horn sound like the predators one just a tad bit difrent tone?
I actually kinda like Carolina's, it reminds me of a ship horn which kinda goes with the hurricane theme I think. I suppose buffalo's is a louder version though
SALAD! BARS! SALAD! BARS! SALAD! BARS! SALAD! BARS!
Bro canucks goal song is soooooooo unique and the horn is great
Minnesota’s horn is the best, the lighthouse going off with the fog is the cherry on top
Facts
if you would do it to the wild horn rn, what would u do it at?
Decided to get into NHL and picked the Predators to be my team on a whim (and found out later that their minor league affiliate is where I live!) and instantly loved the energy they bring, especially at home games! Glad you agree :)
lol I also picked the preds on a whim! 😂 I’m happy with my pick!
9:06 I may be a Blues fan but my God this little old school organ sounds amazing.
I'm a blues fan too
I’d put toronto at least at 27 just because their goal song’s got some INSANE bass in the arena
Imo blackhawks have such a banger goal song
6:39 Why would you rank the Avs so low on their horn? Is there really a specific reason why other than the pitch?
I like how the Ducks horn is the only one that doesn’t sound like a truck or train horn Edit: BTW the Winnipeg Jets horn literally sounds like a horn on an Amtrak train lol
Been waiting for this!!
🙌
Carolina's goal horn: Sounds like a dying whale. 😂
Them and Anaheim easily worst in league
Bring back the old Flyers horn! They still have it at the stadium
Sounds like the caps may have re-added the siren in the Flyers game? It is just very quiet if they did
I think the Kings have the best horn 😌 super cool sound and powerful. If they brought back I love LA then it would definitely be a higher rank
Yeah it’s really cool. It sounds straight from hell
I agree. It is so frickin JACKED!!!
You’re onto something. I still think that horn is outclassed by the Stars and Bruins as far as the horn alone goes, but you’re on to something.
What's the song in the intro?
w h a t THE ROG GOES NUTS TO SIMPLE MINDS! LALALA LAAA
Y'all gripe about VGK stealing the Avs horn, meanwhile, there are 5 teams that all use Kahlenberg S-203CV's
The Winnipeg Jets horn sounds like a trains coming
This may be biased as a CBJ fan but I feel like the blue jackets could easily crack top 5
How is Edmonton so low? I love theirs and the song with the crowd is 2nd to only the rangers!
Canucks at last is crazy
Fr
As a Kraken fan born in Seattle, Even if I wasn't a fan of the team, It has song from Nirvana, a band from Seattle, Has a ship horn, (Seattle is close to the sea) and has a cool chant, Like literally our team has everything to it wth lol
I love how the Flyers goal song is just the same as Becky Lynch's WWE theme
I frickin LOVE IT
As a penguins fan it’s not just a paint can it’s a black and gold paint can
This is a solid list bc I literally like every team in the nhl (except Anaheim,Arizona,Columbus,Tampa,Buffalo,Vancouver,Boston,Philly,Detroit,Winnipeg,Vegas,Minnesota,and San Jose)
Nice!
…
Brody just listed like half the teams
@@jamesmoucheron4799 lmfaoooo
What’s wrong with CBJ?
You should play the bruins one from any home playoff game! The crowd gets really into it Also, I know it's overused but didn't the bruins have it first?
Leafs did but fuck them
The Germany Soccer Team of Hansa Rostock has been using it since 2001, the Basketball team from Alba Berlin used it in the early 2000's and by the way the Spanish Soccer team from FC Valencia, AS Roma from Italy also had it in their repertoire. 🙄 I've never understood why you modern Americans would use such an old worn out song.
The Wild don’t deserve crowd chant, personally I think it doesn’t suit them, what they really need is born to be Wild back.
THE WILD DESERVERZ CROWD CHANT
@@liamburke5245 no they don’t
@@DoubleTripleTYES THEY DO YOU ARE WRONG
@@liamburke5245 Ok Liam😂 also it took u 2 months to reply 🤣
There’s no way he just said till I collapse is a 0/10 even if it’s not the most hyping goal song it should still be like a 7/10 min
Will you make Global Series Finland goal horns?
Yes. Probably some time during this upcoming week
The krakens horn sounds like the biggest queen bee buzzing, but the song is good. If I was you I would put it 15-9 place. Thank you elite for making this video. You’re the best.
LOL BUZZZZ 🐝
Thanks so much!
Individual player songs are the best thing!!! They’re completely underrated
As a Carolina fan the horn sounds like a animal. Approved👍
I love that Brass Bonanza is the intro
The Red Wings horn used to be great at the Joe. Once we moved to Little Caesars Arena, that was when they changed it to what it is now.
You should listen to Rogers arena when the Canucks score because it rarely happens. But when it does. Everyone goes "la, la, laaaa"
Fr it buzzing
The air raid sirens of jets will forever be my favorite
Torontos song is my favorite honestly. Preds horn has to be my #1
Damn #32 that's hilarious. Same ranking as our PK!!
finally a non-biased ranking!
Crowd Chant is a good goal song but I prefer all teams to have a different one, therefore I think it's good that Wild has changed it.
Wild had it first. It’s our song. Everyone else that uses it should get rid of it
@@itookashittoday1146 that’s like saying kernkraft 400 is the leafs song, or that rock and roll part 2 is the devils song
@@RighteousWarrior777 your point?
@@itookashittoday1146 just because a team used it first does not mean it’s “their song” but situations like the Blackhawks using Chelsea Dagger is their song because it’s iconic and when you hear is you immediately think of the Blackhawks
@@RighteousWarrior777 pretty much everyone outside of New York thinks of the wild when they hear crowd chant if that’s what you’re suggesting 😂
What's the song at the very beginning of the video?
Brass Bonanza
As a Sabres fan I couldn’t agree more, have a goated horn but no songs or anything to back it up. Save for Skinner’s goal song maybe
NYR in Top 10?? As a Rangers fan, I’m proud to see that! :D
I’m also a Rangers fan and the only reason why they aren’t in the top 5 is their horn.
I really like the FLAMEs goal horn
A video where detroit gets above 30?, wow!
To comment on bruins- yes we do sing along to it we even sometimes sing to it before the game starts- it does depend but i will say even when my family hosts a party for the game, everyone does sing to it
Man Edmonton's was very good AND YOU PUT IT IN 31??
Oooof
Yea Bro Edmonton Oilers have the best goal horn and song
Oilers horn is annoying
Their horn sounds alright if you go to an oilers game other than that it’s bad
I love it because it's unique in a lot of ways
Love your videos man
1:25 excuse me, but the Boston Gardens go horn sounded similar. It was a little more high-pitched and longer ,but technically we were the first to use that horn.
🤩🚨🙌 FINALLY! EGH's 2022-23 goal horn rankings have arrived! Lots of hard work and effort have been done on this massive vid. Amazing job as always, EGH.
Thank you!!! 🙌
@@EliteGoalHorns Of course 😊👍🚨.
Hey the Canucks Song is Changed and the horn is awesome to in Vancouver
😡
@@nuttybar0692 All I want is the Vancouver Canucks to bring back Holiday as their goal song. The horn is iconic too. I really like the set they have and the sound it bursts out.
Bruins horn is 29#??? That’s crazy, I get the horn old but like that’s what make it special, they kept the tradition going with the old horn
Bruins one is just great
UK Red Wings fan: I do have a soft spot for The Flames goal horn.
At this rate with the Wings horn, just install a massive speaker in Little Caesars Arena and play a good quality recording of the Joe Louis goal horn. There are quite a few good recordings on KZhead that can be downloaded and used…
Totally agree with the preds
👍
I like everything about the Lightning goal horn except for the song. Tesla coils rock and the horn itself is from a scrapped cruise ship so very on par with the area. The song to me just doesn’t fit, but idk what they should change it to
Yeah that’s pretty cool! And agreed
how are you ranking the sabres higher than the canucks
You should do a video where it’s ranked based off just the horn. Not the songs or crowd
Scoring player songs as “simply the worst” voids this list. Player chosen songs are absolutely awesome. The player gets to add their own touch to their goals and giving 0 points is complete asinine.
Crowd Chant was made on Long Island, by a lifelong Islanders fan. We didn’t steal shit.
5 worst goal horns: 5. Vancouver Canucks 4. New Jersey Devils 3. Detroit Red Wings 2. Ottawa Senators 1. Montreal Canadiens 5 BEST goal horns: 5. Carolina Hurricanes (I actually like this horn, it sounds really cool) 4. Seattle Kraken (Nice sounding horn, amazing song) 3. Calgary Flames (Beautiful horn, and a very epic song) 2. Dallas Stars (Another beautiful horn, song goes so hard) 1. Colorado Avalanche (I am a huge Avs fan, and hearing the horn, song, and chant whenever a goal is scored is an absolutely incredible experience)
What’s the song at the start 😊
Brass Bonanza
Ain't no way you put Boston #29. As a flyers fan that should be way higher
I agree with you, the old Coyotes goal horn was MUCH better
Does anyone know the song in the intro?
1:27 I LOVE THE COMMENT FOR THE SONG
“ it would be better if this wasn’t a ripoff of Colorado “ Buffalo-ottawa Det-Anaheim And there are way to many more that copy each other so why just point out Vegas? Edit: I think ottawa got a new goal song it’s more fitting too if you don’t live in Ottawa then go on nhl 24 you’ll hear it
Hi again elite you are the best KZhead channel in the world
HI
another knock for the bruins horn, It's entire thing is used by like 3 or 4 minor league teams including the one I follow which is the Heartlanders.
EXACTLY! LOL
@@EliteGoalHorns I heard the bruins score 7 times today in Coralville.
They need to change their goal horn, it overused
And everyone uses zombie nation as their song too
@@P3T3_ No that prize goes to Rock N Roll Part 2 By Gary Glitter cause 10 of the ECHL uses it and like 7 of the 11 SPHL teams also use it
Oilers fans chant the song you notice when you are at the game,you don’t hear it on tv
How did the team without a arena make it to number 19 and also why is the most ear killing horn at number 11
Wait can you update the Canucks one? They have a new song
They haven't used a consistent song this season
Also I’m a die hard flyers fan. The horn no where near long enough. Last season was even worse like 2 seconds. Slight increase this season but still not long enough. Also sometimes 5-6 second delay after we score
Agree. They also need to fix the horn
@@EliteGoalHorns definitely! And I miss the old horn from 2004
@@jimmycharest4231 they should go back to that at this point tbh
I respect your opinion on the Bolts' goal horn 👍
👍⚡
I like when the Bruins score in Tampa and 3/4 of the crowd says “WOOO!” after the PA announcer reads off who scored and assisted 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How do you guys feel about Montreal changing their horn slightly?
A bit like LA but I don’t mind
How was it changed
@@calebkent6706 the 3rd horn started working and makes the horn sound a bit different
@@calebkent6706 they added a little train horn in the back
washington sound good with/ without the siren, the siren sounded good with cascada and sounds good without the siren on learn to fly
Gotcha
"Raise Up" for the Hurricanes is incredible.
