The Winnipeg Jets have apparently found a new victory song, and it’s likely the last one you’d expect it to be.
Following their thrilling 3-2 shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night, Celine Dion’s infamous ‘My Heart Will Go On’ was heard from outside the dressing room. Thursday night’s matchup reportedly marked the second game in a row that it was played.
To serve as a refresher, the track was used in the hit movie Titanic, starring a young Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
The number one unwritten rule about a winning streak is that when you’re winning, you can't change a thing. Winnipeg has now won three in a row and until they stop, members of the media will likely continue to hear the beautiful voice of one of Canada’s greatest musicians.
This isn’t the first time the Jets have been linked to a song of some sort in the media. During the team’s lone playoff run in 2015, a local radio station released a playoff anthem to ‘Without Me’ by Eminem. You likely won’t be hearing that one in the dressing room, though.
The Jets face the high-flying New Jersey Devils on Saturday afternoon, and they’re sure to be fired up and ready to go after listening to all that Celine Dion.
Who wouldn’t be?
