Goal - A tribute to the Oilers
Apparently, there has been quite a controversy around a song produced by a Calgary Sports Radio Station, the Fan 960. The song, called “GOAL”, is a parody of the song “Lola”, performed by the Kinks, and was written the day after the Oilers were beat 10-2 (worst home loss in Oilers History) by the Buffalo Sabres on January 26, 2009.
I found it quite humourous how upset some fans were when they heard it. NHL Message boards and forums lit up with Oiler fans commenting on how “classless” this was. I am not sure where these so-called “fans” have been for the past 25 years, but in case they’ve been living in a bubble, might I remind them of the rivalry that exists between these 2 teams. Seriously. Get over it.
From a biased Flames fan perspective, I found this to be tremendously amusing.
For your listening enjoyment!
