I thought I was the only one to notice that the song The Goal by Loco Locass was played in the Bell Center after Nick Suzuki completed the Canadiens’ late comeback on Tuesday night in overtime.

It should be noted that the real goal song played normally after the siren.

That being said, at first, the “Allez Montréal” didn’t seem like an anomaly to me, as if the old habit was back for a few seconds. After all, I grew up with this song, and it brought back a lot of memories for a generation of Quèbècois fans of a Montreal team that managed to stay in the game over the years.

However, there is one person who noticed it and cursed about it on Tuesday night, and that’s Biz himself.

The Loco Locass rapper was watching the game with Jean-Charles Lajoie, who recounted the scene during his Jean-Charles en liberté episode of the day.

“My friend Biz is close to having a little moisture in the corner of his eye. […] The Goal starts, I look at my friend and I’m moved to see that he’s emotional, and together we’re even more moved by the images relayed to us by RDS in the stands, where we see people in turn emotional singing in heart Allez, allez, allez, allez Montréal“

— Jean-Charles Lajoie

My editorial is simple tonight: The Goal will forever have a cultural, symbolic, linguistic, and emotional charge far superior – it’s not even up for debate – to the new “goal song” of the Canadiens, which is in reality a very (too) simple rallying cry that boils down to a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 beat and a “HEY!”

The beat would be good anywhere but in Montreal… but I’m a purist, and I assume it. The removal of The Goal, in my opinion, is another important element of the Canadiens’ culture that was simply abandoned for corporate reasons.

What do you think?


Overtime

– After Ryan Leonard’s, it’s Gabe Perreault’s turn to make his debut!

– He lost some feathers…

– A nice gesture from the captain.
