Good battles together have had these Jets and these grunting prairie schooners,
While the faithful boardsfolk sharpen their clench
2 pm starts, and played in the springlike middle of winter
Been thus encount'red.
Aye, and now behold!
Skaters like your like Lurchmaster, Perfectine and Shuffles
Armed at point, at centre exactly, sticks ready,
Will appear before the Ungulate throng and with blinding speed
Blast and blaze around sundry snorting Buffalo.
In recent history, have we skated hard? Aye!
Giving the Heaving Buffalonians oppression and fear-surprised eyes,
Pincered within the grip of Fly the human cruise missile;
Whilst they distill'd to jelly with the act of fear!
Stand not still you puck-smiths
Kyle Befeckit Connor, Tanev, Bull Coelacanth, Johaus,
But rather summon and gather thy courage,
Skate with urgency, and let thy skills speak for themselves.
In dreadful urgency impart thy vulcanized rubber will,
And I with ye on this Robertson’d afternoon keep the watch;
Where, I would guess you will deliver, both in time,
Before this breathless Peghaus throng - each play made true and good,
And support the looming Juggernaut of our playoff ambition -
For in this, our minds are not more like.
