On the plus side, it's hilarious here with my girlfriend being a Pens fan and me rooting for the Preds.

Also I once again maintain my concern about playing Queen's "We Are the Champions" as a triumph track in a league that does not claim to award a world title, in a sport that has a world championship. But this time I actually have alternatives!

For hard face teams, first-timers, 'nobody believes in us' teams, and others as thematically appropriate:
Joe Cocker's rendition of "With a Little Help From My Friends". Easy enough to find. Give a listen.

For hard heel teams, recent* champions, the next Canadian team to win the Cup, and others as thematically appropriate:
Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack". The seven-minute album version. All of it.

*Doesn't have to be strictly defending if there hasn't been much prominent roster turnover.

I trust fan bases will come up with better options and front offices totally won't (well, Nashville's might).

And that I'm somehow completely wrong about this sort of thing; I probably have a natural talent for it.

I seriously think the best thing about the Preds is them bringing some college hockey to the pros, and, say what you will about potential southiness, but actually some much needed culture to North American sports by doing the one thing that soccer is really good for. Chants own forever; the only reason why they can be bad, is if they're done in a racist bigoted way like ChicagoNorth Dakota.

No joke but I think about poo poo like this all the time and I feel like statistics is asymptotic as the A Next Big Movement, not when it comes to evaluation, but in terms of execution and coaching. I wish this were honestly explored on lower levels (where it honestly is probably worth more.)
