Twas the Night Before Game 7

From the blog that brought you "Twas the Night Before Hockey Christmas" comes "Twas the Night Before Game 7":

Twas the night before Game 7 and it was back in our house
Wardo has a nasty shiner (not from his spouse).
Claude and Mo's words were chosen with care,
While something tells me there's a little more there.

The B's faithful were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of cheap shots ran through their heads.
I call it a sucker punch, but Caniacs call it a love tap,
It's funny how he can have such a different recap.

When out on the net there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to The News & Observer to see what was the matter.
Away to the small market rag's site I flew like a flash,
Only to find Luke DeCock spewing out more trash.

Scott Walker is definitely the Bruins' new foe
He got off easy thanks to the Colin Campbell shit show.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a well placed slash by Jussi from the rear.

With a bunch of "defenseless little guys", so lively and quick,
Instead of throwing the body, they'd rather use their stick.
More rapid than eagles these hackers they came,
And Mo whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Jussi! now, Tuomo! now, Chad and Ray!
On, Cullen! On, Walker! on, on Eaves and Sergei!
To the back of the ankle! and watch the big man fall!
Now slash away! Slash away! Slash away all!"

Some want to see the haymakers start to fly,
While I'd rather see the B's lift Lord Stanley to the sky.
There is no club with more members than the Lucic Crew,
If he was playing for your team, you'd love him too.

Still work to be done to raise a banner to the roof
Aaron Ward agreed to fight? Where's the proof?
The Canes made a mistake by thinking about next round,
But where will the Caniacs be be when the champion is crowned?

One guy was dressed in Whale gear, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
These clowns aren't welcome at The Garden, yet they still come back,
As they search for a hockey team not named the Wolfpack.

Games 2,3, and 4 looked kind of scary
 This isn't a conspiracy orchestrated by Gary
Where are all the little Canes' trolls that used to crow,
Now that their team has lost 2 in row?

The Caniacs don't like cracks about NASCAR and having no teeth,
But love to watch Samsonov circle the rink like a wreath.
There were some candid words spoken by Peter Chiarelli,
We all know the Hurricanes style is softer than jelly.

Then there is Chad LaRose, a right jolly little elf,
But it takes more than that to put Savard on the shelf!
Game 7 sold out faster than a Walker punch to the head,
With all the momentum, I know we have nothing to dread.

Mo spoke about bruised knuckles and gave a little smirk,
Can this guy be any more of an arrogant jerk?
And when this series comes to a close,
The Caniacs can get back to their monster truck shows

The Canes love to talk about the lack of whistle,
while Jussi's hack was as accurate as a patriot missile.
I hope to hear Jack Edwards exclaim, tomorrow night,
"Enjoy the off season Canes. You put up a good fight!"

Haha, you went from crying about how the Bruins can’t lose this series to writing poems!

Still not a crook!

When he did it last time we ended up with Recchi and Montador. Seemed to work out ok. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Just have fun....

Enjoyed the poem…it’s a fun spin on a classic. Bet it took a little time but nice work. Wanted to drop a post and say to all the B faithful it’s been a good series. Lots of ups and downs for both clubs and they have played well and the fact that we’re at a game 7 says a lot for each team. I don’t care who you root for. But a game 7 in any series is a testament to both clubs. Fine job by all.
Went to game 6 last night and as a Canes fan…it was like watching paint dry. Long and not pleasant…as your B’s were methodical in their success again. Compliments to the Bruin fans that went to the game, most that I saw were enjoying the game but not being complete asses in their triumph….SEE BUFFALO FAN FOR COMPLETE ASSES DEFINITION. Good sports on the road and showed some class.
The local rub is that the Canes were better in game 6 than in game 5 but still better wasn’t enough. Most popular of the water cooler rumblings from the Caniac Nation…How in the hell can you come out flat at home? We truly feel our blue line was the weak spot last night and it got exposed early and the Canes never recovered. We expect Mo to change the line up around for game 7. Word is Kaberle will replace Babchuk (who was just awful last night)…sure the B’s caught Wallin on a pinch and cashed in but, the turnover department was all Babchuk.
For what it’s worth, I think that both teams have won and lost because they were completely shitty while the opponent was right on their game and kicked some ass. So my point is that this series really hasn’t been all that tight throughout. Save the OT game.
With a 3 games to 1 lead over the Bruins I read and heard how the B’s just were not playing their best hockey. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that Claude Julien said that stretch through games 2,3,4 were the worst of this season for the B’s. Of course from the opposition we felt the Canes were on their roll like we had enjoyed the last 2 months of the regular season. Now on the other hand we see the B’s on a new roll and the Canes playing a game that I feel isn’t their best. It sure would be awesome to see game 7 have both teams completely on and leave it all on the ice.
I’ll leave this post with a hope that those of you who go to the game tomorrow get your monies worth and it’s a great nail biter. I think we all deserve one. Thanks for talking some trash with me this series it’s been fun.

Your Poem is Wicked...

Your poem is wicked long winded for real,
I’ll excuse you however, for being a heel.
You can’t really help it, a yankee and all,
you just can’t understand us peeps who say “y’all.”

Y’all ignored yourselves acting like goons,
as we skated around, over and through.
Then y’all lucked up and caught a black eye,
courtesy of Walker, and I’m mad at the guy.

Aaron Ward is our friend and it really kind of hurt,
to see him go down like he was wearing a skirt.
He saw what was coming and man is he clever,
it brought y’all back and was a hell of an endeavor.

So here we are and y’all stole our mo,
not Mo like our coach, but mo like jo.
I can’t face the thought of our season in ruins,
because of a pissed off bunch of Boston Bruins.

Let me just tell you it’s straight from the heart,
I’m sorry for the punch and that’s just a start.
Jokinen’s slash, that too I say,
would have killed most baboons, Chara’s lucky that way.

Y’all have two in a row, and that’s quite a feat,
and you have yourselves thinking you can’t be beat.
Well good on you but you’re under attack,
from a team that never quits and a pissed off Caniac.

Love, love, love the Canes!

OK, I’ll give you credit for the effort here. Definitely, the most well thought out comment from a Canes fan this series.

Game 7 should be a lot of fun. I think it will be a better game than the disappointing Pens-Caps Game 7.

Ouch, that hurts.....

and some of us take great care in crafting our message in such a way as to overload your personal lexicon.

In others words “spewing volumes of crap”.

Oh well, at least we don’t have “Hurricane Cheryl” on “our side”.

Yeah, what was that about? She posted the same long-winded rant on like 5 different posts.

I have no idea, but she should learn to make paragraphs if she’s going to write that much.

I've seen her before.....

on the Herald and Globe blog pages.

I don’t think anyone there likes her there either.

I’m proud of your for this. Nicely done! (And as I’ve said before, It’s not over till the clock reads 0:00)

Favorite stanza

“One guy was dressed in Whale gear, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
These clowns aren’t welcome at The Garden, yet they still come back,
As they search for a hockey team not named the Wolfpack.”

Such rhymes! well written.
Cute little poem you got.
But can you haiku?

Valiant Hurricanes.
Caught eighty minutes of sleep
Let Bears back in it.

No matter, we say.
Lord Stanley enjoyed his stay
And wants to come home.

To Raleigh, that is.
