Isn't playing the Kurt Angle song in which people shout "You Suck" just the same as if RnR pt 2 was played what's the difference? I also would like to hear The Rock theme song played for Mario a few times at least. Had to laugh at the Mel Gibson comment that was pretty good.

Heather,

I have about 4 Rock themes ready to go. The Kurt Angle theme might not be as well known. Sometimes I have to hold myself back from playing some things. I have gotten warned a few times by the league about some of the sound files (guess which ones???). They don't take too kindly to some of my inner thoughts going out over the pa through a movie clip.

I would love to have your job Larry, but I would get fired after the first game because I wouldn't hold back and I would yell at each fan that walked out when the puck was in play.

"Hey You in the green shirt, SIT DOWN!!!" That would go over well, wouldn't it?

I gotta admit, after 16 years I hate Cotton Eye Joe.

I know Amstutz used to get in trouble all the time with the league. Can you give us a specific story about when you got in trouble?

Could we record something like what the NY Rangers have for a goal song?

Hoss,
the toughest thing for me is to not be too much of a fan on the microphone. I am supposed to be somewhat neutral and not be a cheerleader. I used to sit behind the visitor penalty box for many years and miss my heckler days. That's why I love the road games.

Yeah, I can tell the times when we get call after call and when you say "Komet Pentalty (smart-butt voice)" you really mean "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME REF!!!"

Blake,

the league asked me not to play any clip that questions the judgement of an on ice official. Like "This could very well be the stupedist person on the face of the earth". They didn't like that for some reason. But I did play it when the UHL bigwigs were in the rink one night and they didn't say anything. Also, They had a report that I said Joe Franke was playing goal for Missouri. Not sure where that came from. But that night, they would have had better goaltending with him in the nets.

I really liked when you played "the final countdown" before the 3rd period. What happened to that one?

Shawn,

Our new goal song is upbeat, it's a song by a well known artist, and it gives you a place to yell. That's all I can say for now.

who cares what is said about the refs its a game if they are gonna call stupid penalties they should expect it...one night we were ragging on the ref so bad and his wife happened to be sitting behind us it was funny but she asked us to calm it down...i tried to get the guys to calm down all the while I was thinking if he's gonna do such a bad job shouldn't you expect it?

Kometfan,

I actually stopped playing that one out of superstition. We lost 7 games in a row when I played that, so I took it out of the rotation for a while. It'll see more time this season.

Heather

Heather,

If I could play all the things I really wanted to, I would be back sitting in the stands again. And I like my job too much to mess that up.

I think we once lost 7 games in a row while Pokey Reddick was in goal. Did he retire out of superstition??

Blake

Oops, Heather, you broke the rule. LOL. Now you have to name a ref you think does a good job. C'mon, gimme just one.
