Winnipeg Jets “Goal Song” Alternatives: What They SHOULD Have Picked

Nate Schmidt – “Mambo No. 5” by Lou Bega

Initial Reaction: Really? I guess there is some symmetry with being a one-hit wonder.

Assumed reason for selection: Angela, Pamela, Sandra, or Rita picked it out for him? I have no clue.  It seems to fit the Nate Schmidt brand. Quirky and loveable but in small doses.

Song Choice Rating: 1 star

Preferred Choice: I don’t believe I have had any firsthand experience with a player as gregarious as Nate Schmidt. As such, the pick here is “The Joker” by the Steve Miller Band. I doubt he midnight tokes, but all the player interviews this year suggest he is always up for a good time.

Mix-tape, CD, or streaming guy: Given his selection of song, I wager that Nate doesn’t listen to much music and is content with whatever is on the radio.

Will we hear this song frequently this year? Schmidt is not a goal scorer, but he has looked spritely in the first 6 games. I thought perhaps he was a step slow last season, but given the green light from Coach Bones to jump into the play has rejuvenated him a little. He is talented with the puck.
