...What Pearl Jam song would you pick as his goal song?
Mine is RVM for Evgeni Malkin after he blows past defenders
I found a cool article on music and hockey. It talks about the evolution of music in the arenas and the writers thoughts on how music can become better in the arena

Anyways, Jerome Iginla of Calgary Flames picked Even Flow for his goal song and this is why:
Jarome Iginla: "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam
"Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away"
Iginla plays like a Pearl Jam song. Straightforward, not always discernible and powerful. He has three years left on his contract with the Calgary Flames. After it is done, he will turn 36 that summer. He will have more than 550 goals and about 1,100 points.
"Even Flow" (1992) was released more than four years before Iginla played his first NHL game during the 1996-97 playoffs. That surprised me a bit. Iginla seems as though he has been around as long as Pearl Jam has. He seems older than he is. That's what a weight of a franchise and a city can do to a good man.
Iginla is only 32, 16 years younger than Chris Chelios and 13 years younger than Eddie Vedder. You can see what his presence does to the Flames organization. It's why the front office, players, fans and coaches have tried so hard to win a Stanley Cup. For their own satisfaction, yes, but also because Iginla has that regal Ray Bourque quality that elicits maximum effort from everyone, as they all feel obligated to help him win. These players exemplify so much of what is good in hockey. It is why it is conceivable -- as Iginla ages and if the Flames slide toward mediocrity -- that No. 12 could be dealt Bourque-style for one more shot at the Stanley Cup. And if Iginla wins a Cup elsewhere, he still could walk the streets of Calgary as a welcomed legend, much as Bourque does in Boston.
