When NHL teams leave their home cities for a hub, they'll bring anthems, goal songs and hype videos along to create an environment that is 'somewhat normal.' (via EricFrancis)
“The NHL’s ultimate goal is to create an environment for the players that is somewhat normal,” explained Steve Edgar, manager of game presentation for the Flames’ parent company.
“We’ve sent them our goal song , win song , the warmup playlist, warmup videos, video for time outs, organ music – things that are unique for each team that are transferable,” Edgar said before being asked if the Dome’s famous fire bursts will be ignited after goals.They can’t ship Harvey the Hound there either, meaning any appearances from the Flames mascot will be relegated to videos shown on the Jumbotron.
Without fans in the stands to provide the ultimate – and most important – backdrop, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether or not it will work.In games three and four, the sights and sounds from Winnipeg’s Bell MTS Place will ring out as a more familiar production for Jets fans. “I’ve never played a hockey game in front of an empty building. It’s all very abnormal. We practice in one and you can hear everything in there – a puck goes off my pad and it echoes.
“I don’t think that will be the case again, in the playoffs,” Talbot, who famously took on Edmonton’s towering Mike Smith earlier this year, said with a laugh. “If so, I’ll pick someone smaller this time.”
