Pacific Division power rankings based on... goal horns

The goal horn is one of the most underappreciated parts of the NHL. Which Pacific Division team has the best horn? Where do the Vegas Golden Knights stand?

6.) Calgary Flames

Both Alberta teams get the bottom rankings in the Pacific Division for underwhelming horns. While Edmonton's was more of a chant-y kind, Calgary is more... AC/DC. Not that AC/DC is a bad band or anything. It's just... generic. Perhaps the older crowd will fall in love with this horn based on fond memories of rocking out to the Australian group's music. But there are some problems with it.

For one, it's basic nostalgia. It's recognized by everyone and can be played anywhere. Two, it's too safe. The Oilers (pre-McDavid) had "American Badass" as one of their anthems fit them perfectly. Yes, it's a song for people in the United States. But which Canadian wouldn't want to get pumped up by that music? Now, it's just a safe choice whenever Leon Draisaitl or McDavid scores a goal. That's the same thing here, with the Flames going with the low-hanging fruit.

It's a good thing Calgary didn't score much because opposing fans wouldn't hear much of this if they visited. While this is good for older people that long for the older days while getting lost in nostalgia, it pales in comparison to their competition.
