Fans furious at Leafs for insensitive goal song

The Toronto Maple Leafs decided to make the call to retire their goal song they've been using at Scotiabank Arena for the last several seasons, and fans were not exactly enthralled with its replacement. 

Since the beginning of 2018, the Leafs had employed the classic Hall and Oates tune  "You Make My Dreams" from their 9th studio album "Voices" in 1980. However, the Leafs switched things up by using Steve Aoki's 2012 remix of Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" in Wednesday's home opener against the Montreal Canadiens. 

But it wasn't long before fans began pushing back, considering some of the lyrics in the tune. And it's easy to see why some were made uncomfortable and upset by the song, especially those who know someone who has been affected by drunken driving. 

A sampling of the lyrics: 

“Feeling lit, feeling right
Two AM, summer night, I don't care
Hand on the wheel
Driving drunk I'm doing my thang"

For last night's game against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Leafs used "Panama" by American rock band Van Halen. 

Did the Leafs make the right call by switching things up after pushback from the fans?
