Niskayuna’s shots),” said Coons.<br />
“You have to play as a defensive<br />
unit against Niskayuna ... and<br />
we struggled to do that in the<br />
beginning of the game.”<br />
Saratoga (1-1, 3-1) tried to<br />
cut into Niskayuna’s lead, but it<br />
was diffi cult for the Blue Streaks<br />
to get close in the fi rst half as<br />
they suffered through a series<br />
of dropped passes and failed<br />
clearing attempts. They did get<br />
one goal back when Ryan Quinn<br />
scored with three seconds left in<br />
the fi rst quarter, but they failed<br />
to get any closer as Franze tallied<br />
midway through the second<br />
■ Hockey<br />
(From Page 28)<br />
As for “Pounding,” the opening<br />
instrumental part can get any<br />
crowd going.<br />
“Plowed” by alternative<br />
rock band Sponge. It’s got all the<br />
elements of a great rock song<br />
for a hockey game – a pounding<br />
beat, loud guitars and lyrics<br />
about getting hit hard, even if<br />
the object doing the hitting is<br />
only something you usually hear,<br />
not feel per se (“I’m plowed into<br />
the sound”). This song should be<br />
played at all hockey arenas.<br />
“You Wreck Me” and “Runnin’<br />
Down a Dream” by Tom Petty.<br />
“You Wreck Me” sounds like the<br />
title of a good hockey song, and<br />
what American Hockey League<br />
player isn’t “Runnin’ Down a<br />
Dream?” I swear, Tom Petty is a<br />
hockey fan.<br />
“I’m the Man” by Joe Jackson.<br />
Culled from his early days when<br />
he was a post-punk-popster, this<br />
song from the late 1970s has<br />
the same elements as “Plowed,”<br />
except that the song isn’t about<br />
being hit hard. It’s about being<br />
the man (which Rats goaltender<br />
Michael Leighton has been for 95<br />
percent of the season).<br />
“C’mon” and “Walk Like<br />
quarter to give Niskayuna a 6-1<br />
halftime lead.<br />
Saratoga looked like it had<br />
resolved its problems at the<br />
beginning of the third quarter.<br />
Christopher Adams scored eight<br />
seconds into the period, and<br />
Quinn tallied by picking up a<br />
rebound off a missed shot and<br />
fl ipped the ball behind his back<br />
past Niskayuna goaltender James<br />
Manchester to make the score 6-3<br />
with 10:28 left.<br />
That was one of the fi nal shots<br />
that Manchester allowed to get<br />
by him. The senior made several<br />
big saves in the second half to<br />
help Niskayuna hold on for the<br />
victory.<br />
“In the last two games, he’s<br />
really bailed us out,” Vorgang<br />
You Don’t Mind” by Blue Rodeo.<br />
You’re going to have to take my<br />
word on these two songs, but<br />
they both rock. And besides, the<br />
guy who wrote both songs, Jim<br />
Cuddy, is a hockey player. You<br />
have to play rock songs written<br />
by a hockey player at a hockey<br />
game, don’t you?<br />
And for a little regional fl avor,<br />
I offer these two songs:<br />
“Silver Bullets” by the Sense<br />
Offenders. Contrary to the band’s<br />
name, this song is not offensive<br />
to the senses. In fact, it’s a really<br />
good rock song with great hooks<br />
and a sing-along chorus. It also<br />
has a great verse for any hockey<br />

William K. Sanford Library, Colonie<br />
said of Manchester, who fi nished<br />
with <strong>16</strong> saves. “We rely on him to<br />
make big saves when we have a<br />
defensive breakdown, and he did<br />
today.”<br />
Franze added a goal late in<br />
the second quarter to become<br />
the third Silver Warrior with<br />
two goals on the day along with<br />
Berggren and D’Amario. Andy<br />
Morris had the Blue Streaks’ fi nal<br />
tally midway through the fourth<br />
quarter off a feed from Adams.<br />
Niskayuna returned to action<br />
Wednesday when it traveled to<br />
East Greenbush to face Columbia.<br />
The Silver Warriors hit the road<br />
again Saturday to play Massachusetts<br />
power Duxbury before<br />
returning home next Tuesday to<br />
play undefeated Guilderland.<br />
team – “Nothing’s gonna stop me<br />
now/you can do what you like/<br />
you can call the cops/nothing’s<br />
gonna stop me tonight/not even<br />
silver bullets.”<br />
“Blast the Message” by<br />
Super 400. Again, it has a powerful<br />
guitar riff, which all great hockey<br />
songs should have. And what’s<br />
more inspiring than to be asked<br />
to blast the message?<br />
Add any or all of these songs<br />
to the Rats’ in-game play list, and<br />
I’ll promise you that you’ll have a<br />
good time. So good, in fact, that<br />
you might not miss “YMCA.”<br />
That is, if you’re not one of the<br />
6,500 people who like “YMCA.”<br />
