A lil’ dose of good vibes for the LA Kings might just become a full-blown headache brewing for the Edmonton Oilers. Yep, we’re talking about the return of that sweet harmonica crew—the one and only Harmonica Class from the Korea-Town Senior and Community Center, the Korean Band. These absolute legends lit up Game One with their soul-soothing rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, and get this—they did it all on harmonicas, while the whole crowd at Crypto.com Arena sang along like it was the biggest karaoke night in hockey history. These folks aren’t strangers to the ice spotlight either.
They had their first NHL moment back in March when they serenaded the arena before a Kings vs. Bruins clash, and that night was dubbed “K-Town Night.” It was the first-ever cultural celebration of its kind in NHL history, and they brought all the heart and harmony. Now here’s where it gets spicy. Their comeback anthem gig has got fans begging for more—some even want the Korean Band as good luck charms for every Kings playoff game. But for the Oilers? Mehh, not such great news.
Paul Bissonnette—yeah, Biz Nasty himself dropped some serious Korean Band tea on X, and trust us, it was wild. On April 23, he let the world in on what might be the most dramatic musical update in hockey playoff history, “I’m hearing rumblings the Korean Women who blew the roof off Crypto dot com arena in Game 1 with their Harmonica rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, were asked to return for Game 2 in LA tonight. As of this time, they have declined due to rest. I’m not f—— around, that’s actually what I’m hearing. I’m really hoping I’m wrong and we get that action again.” Like… we’re talking harmonica heroes straight-up, dropping the mic (or harmonica?) and fans everywhere suddenly begging for an encore.
But wait—plot twist! Biz had another scoop brewing and served it up just in time for the chaos, “DEVELOPING STORY. The notorious harmonica anthem is very much in play tonight in LA after the gap in negotiations between the Kings and Korean Women have tightened. I’m hearing it’s 99% happening. Horrendous news for the Oilers. Assuming that’s why Kane draws in. Potential chaos at Crypto Dot Com in a few hours on @NHL_On_TNT.” So buckle up, Oilers fans—this ain’t just Game 2 anymore. If the Korean Band hit the air again tonight, it’s curtains and chaos all rolled into one jazzy storm.
