Ricky Koivu is a massive fan of The Weeknd, and makes sure that with his selection of five songs for the team's pre game playlist, the Canadian superstar gets some representation in there.
1. Take my Breath - The Weeknd
This is a very entertaining song with catchy lyrics and melodies, and it's instrumental portions with powerful synths and a hype rhythms make for a perfect song to amp you up before a game.
2. Sacrifice - The Weeknd
This is another big hit of a song that makes for a perfect song before a game. The guitar throughout the song is addictive and very Michael Jackson esque.
3. SKELETONS - Travis Scott
This is not the Weeknd's song, but it does feature him. This is a very well constructed song that wraps you in for the entirety of it
4. Off the Grid - Kanye West
Not the Weeknd but anyone can listen to this song and understand why it's there.
5. On That Time - Playboi Carti
Again not the Weeknd but another song that is a crazy rave track that gets the adrenaline pumping automatically.
