SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

TURN UP THE RADIO

Forgot to mention that I've loaded up the Radio.Blog with hockey tunes and/or songs with "lightning" or "thunder" in the titles.

Stompin' Tom Connors' "Good Ol' Hockey Game" is a traditional fave. "Me Like Hockey" by the Arrogant Worms is a crackup. Super Furry Animals' "Ice Hockey Hair" is a bit weird, but a fun listen. "The Cup Won't Go To Ottawa" overcomes it's Adam Sandler-esque ripoff roots. And although it's not a hockey song, KISS's live version of "God of Thunder" is excellent with the backing symphony.

If nothing else, you owe it to yourself to play the Tampa Bay Lightning goal horn going off. Crank it up. It's a hoot. Eh.
