Hey all, just having a little fun while I gear up for the show. If you haven’t done it yet, each team’s website is doing preseason streams for free (i.e. redwings.com).
Since tomorrow’s game is in Chi-town, you’ll have to go to the Blackhawk’s page. Here, for no one’s enjoyment, is my awful take on “the night before Christmas…. It includes jabs at Chicago’s goal song and Buffalo’s rebuild. Not meant to hurt, just an exercise in fun.
On a September Tuesday, everything felt the same I’m awaiting the very first preseason game The summer was long, There was no vacation Just blog after blog, Endless speculation.
But the Wings hit the ice Tomorrow in Chi-town And jobs to be taken With rookies around
We’ll all watch intently And hope for the best As the invites and draftees Try to impress
The night could be brutal, The game could go long With play after play of The world’s worst goal song
But, hey, it’s still hockey And fans will still show. Thursday will be better, Because we play Buffalo.
So don’t get too low If Hawks drive the score higher. Hey, this is a rebuild, not a huge dumpster fire.
No, Stevie’s the best And his hand is well played He cleared out the roster No bad contracts stayed.
With no lotto luck, No worries or fears. Detroit won’t be back to square one In six years.
So, better a 4th and A couple of 6ths Than some twos and some ones That you can’t get to stick.
So heat up the oven And pour ginger ale Hockey is back, And that never gets stale.
On Raymond, Zadina, Veleno and Bert. Let’s fill nets with pucks, Pray no one gets hurt.
So I say in departing As my readership falls Merry preseason guys! And hockey for all!
