Goal Song Elimination at Barclay's: Yormark, Dolan or NHL?

Is it possible Mr Yormark or someone working for him decided to take playing this out of the game program, asking Mr Cartier (Islanders organist) to stop playing it? Sure.

The Islanders & Devils eliminated the Gary Glitter goal song after fans went too far with the chants after it, the song came/went over the years at the Coliseum after singer's personal issues.

The infrequent chicken dance music at the Coliseum which was faded out around 2007, was gone for good after 2011.

And it's possible the NHL asked it be stopped. After the all-star game fiasco with an enforcer, this league is more sterilized than ever, forbidding anyone to even speak under threats of fines/suspensions.
