EA Sports NHL 16 To Feature Daniel Bryan’s ‘Yes’ Chant

4.7

Back in 2014, the signature chant of WWE’s Daniel Bryan — “Yes! Yes! Yes!” — became a viral sports movement. The San Francisco Giants used it as motivation to win the World Series, the Michigan State Spartans used it to celebrate their Rose Bowl victory and New York Islanders fans started chanting it as a goal celebration. So much so, in fact, that older season-ticket-holders campaigned to make them stop.

Good news for Islanders and Daniel Bryan fans, and bad news for the older people who’ll probably never play it anyway: The “Yes! Yes! Yes!” goal celebration has been included in the upcoming NHL 16. We haven’t even gotten that confirmed for WWE 2K16. EA Sports and the Islanders even shared a video of the chant in action, which you can see above. It’s comforting to know that “Yes! Yes! Yes!” will live on meaning what it’s supposed to mean (read: unbridled sports enthusiasm), and not its current WWE usage, which is mostly, “remember when this Tough Enough judge was a wrestler?”

DeluxeHazard Instead of adding more celebrations, EA Sports should focus on improving gameplay.

Very true, adding littl thins will not mask the standard of gameplay.

Looking at it, it has the potential. Honestly, they should of just scrapped last years and just went with this, it looks much better and I'm down!

ThomasTheDankEngine Always wanted to try this game but no clue how to play it

Exactly how I was when I first played, now I fricking love hockey! Just pick it up and play, I got NHL 2K7 for 50p and just learnt all the basics from there, I then bought NHL 13 and it's great.

YES!!! It is pretty cool that a celebration from a different "sport" made it into an NHL game. Could NHL also get his running knee move into the game? No? Dang... To be fair though, I heard Daniel Bryan say that he stole that chant from someone else. He made it popular though.

Can't believe they would add such a ridiculous and awful chant for this game. They could've done better than that.

I've never really been a hockey fan, but i've seen some wrestling and this is pretty cool.

Neat!
But it makes me worry that maybe the Authority was right- That chant was (and is) so over, but is it the chant or is it Daniel Bryan that's over? I like to think he is.
