Toronto Maple Leafs' goal song since the 2018 season has been Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dream". But after five sesons, the Leafs are reportedly changing the team's official goal song.
The Toronto Maple Leafs' goal song is "Panama" by Van Halen. The Leafs played this song after John Tavares scored game-tying goal against the Chicago Blackhawks.
On opening night against Canadiens, Kid Cudi's Pursuit of Happinness was played as the Toronto Maple Leafs' goal song. But according to Nick Alberga, the Leafs received complaints about the song's lyrics and will hence not be played as the team's goal song during home games.

Toronto Maple Leafs star's thoughts on iconic goal song
Auston Matthews did not shy away from sharing his opinion on the Hall & Oates song. On Tim and Friends, the $53,000,000 winger said:
"I wouldn't mind hearing something different, maybe switching it up. Change it up."
Matthews thought a new goal song may change things up for the Leafs, but made it clear that he is also fine keeping the song as is:
"Switch it up. Maybe see if we can get something else going and go on a nice little run. I'm always open to change but if they want to keep the same one going, I'm fine as well."
