This Ottawa Senators unofficial playoff anthem is terrible (Video)

Good rule of thumb when it comes to unofficial Stanley Cup Playoffs anthems: Those produced by the fans are going to be funnier, more insightful and more successful than anything produced by a radio station in a transparent attempt to glom onto the popularity of the local team.

With that, here’s Ottawa Team 1200 Sports Radio’s Senators playoff anthem, to the tune of Macklemore’s inescapable “Thrift Shop.”

Ugh.

A few thoughts:

• The line “we’re Hab huntin’” sounds so close to “we’re head huntin’” that we assumed it was about Chris Neil.

• The Habs dress in all red too. Just sayin’.

• Their refusal to even attempt to rhyme either “Latendresse” or “Desharnais” loses major respect points.

• When you have a lyric in your song parody about how cold the ice is during an NHL game, all the listener hears is “INSERT LINE CLEVERER LINE HERE LATER.”

• “Going straight to Stanley” actually made our sphincters clench. Call it “the Stanley” is something we’d expect out of a Los Angeles sports reporter, not the capital of Canada. For shame.
