2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs: The stories behind the goal songs for the New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche

It's a scene familiar to any NHL fan. The puck crosses the line. The crowd roars as the goal horn echoes through the arena. Then the beats of the team's goal song hit, signaling a full-on celebration and Pavlovian responses from those in attendance.

In New York, the fans sing "whoa" and "hey, hey, hey" to "Slapshot," which was written by MSG music director Ray Castoldi for the New York Rangers.

In Tampa, the "heys" of Mona's song "Goons" follow those electrifying tallies from Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
