Game notes

The Bruins head west, seeking a win.

The Coyotes stand in their way.

If you’re anxiously waiting for the game to begin,

8 PM is the time they will play.

—

Arizona was Phoenix; they changed their name,

And tried to rebrand their whole team.

"Coyotes 2.0! We’re not the same!"

Yet winning remains but a dream.

—

Vrbata’s the scorer; OEL leads on D.

Mike Smith’s back between the pipes.

Duclair and Domi are good, you will see,

And Chychrun’s play has been nice.

—

The leader, however, remains Shane Doan,

He loves to throw hits high and low.

He’s never seen an elbow he could leave alone,

Or a late hit that he could let go.

—

Let’s get it straight: the Bruins should win,

We’re going to be perfectly frank.

With 4 lines getting going and pucks going in,

It’s the Coyotes the Bruins should spank.

—

Khudobin is back, he’s making the trip,

And it may be too early to say.

But if Rask needs a break or his game starts to slip,

Khudobin will probably play.

—

The power play worked, the offense was great

The last time the B’s took to the ice.

Another five goals in the Grand Canyon State

Would really be incredibly nice.

—

So pull up a chair, pour out a beer

Put some good food on your plate.

Bruins. Coyotes. The game’s almost here.

Let’s hope, for the Bruins, it’s great.

Never forget

Prague!
