Graearms, I don't understand how you could have reviewed this yesterday, according to your sig, over 13 hours before it was nominated. I'd also like to suggest that a hook that uses the phrase "goal song" twice should probably be reworded to avoid the repetition. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:38, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: My first guess was that the editor copy-pasted a previous template that they had used., but they don't appear to have made an edit at that time, so I'm quite confused as to how they managed to do that. With respect to the hook, how does the following sound:

ALT0a: ... that "Slapshot", a 1995 rock song commissioned by the New York Rangers, is widely considered the best goal song in the National Hockey League?

BlueMoonset I copied a previous template from a different review. Then I manually edited most of the comments and notes to fit this review. Including the signature. While editing the date I must of just accidentally typed in the wrong day. Also, the new hook is fine. Graearms (talk) 15:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

 Note: the page has been moved to Slapshot (song). — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 22:12, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

I have adjusted this page to reflect the article move; this page itself should not be moved. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:36, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

I also found this factoid interesting, if @Red-tailed hawk and Graearms would be okay with it: theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 02:51, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

• ALT1: ... that the New York Rangers have not won a championship since they debuted their 1995 goal song, "Slapshot"?
• ALT1a: ... that the New York Rangers have not won a championship since they debuted their 1995 goal song?
• ALT2: ... that the goal song of the New York Rangers has been both praised and described as a curse?

  I'd prefer the original hook. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:10, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
