Bring on the Cup!!

I wrote a little ditty (well it's my version of a very popular song) in honor of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Enjoy! :)

It's the most wonderful time of the year
When flowers are blooming
And playoffs are looming
The games will begin
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the best and most fun season of all
With the super overtimes and hard fought uphill climbs
When the winner stands tall
It's the best and most fun season of all

There will be short four game sweeps
Series that go for weeks
And everything in between
There will be goalie sensations
And standing ovations for
The boys on our hometown teams

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There will be lots of rejoicing
And champagne for toasting
When Stanley is here
It's the most wonderful time of the year


Let's Go Buffalo!!

Freaky friday

There have been several occasions on this blog where I've alluded to the practice of writing Hockey Song parodies. I have a few that I wrote some years ago, and maybe I'll get around to posting them eventually if I can find them- I think they are on a file somewhere.. but Wed night when I was at work composing that brilliant disseration with DRoy and creating characters for a play that I'm writing, I heard a song on the radio. Well I heard lots of songs on the radio.. and I was struck to write one. I tried my hand at "Love Story" (the only Taylor Swift song I can stand) about Patrick Sharp, but it wasn't going anywhere.. and then I heard "Wherever you will Go" by The Calling. (actual lyrics found here ) and since it's a song that I actually know and enjoy, the ideas just started flowing. So here you are:

"Whatever They Will Shoot"

So lately, when winning, who is guarding the Sabres net?
Way back there, last line of defence, and right now the best
If the d-men should fall, don't give up on them all
Cuz Miller is on call and he's playing like a wall

Chorus:
With blocker, or goal stick
He'll stop whatever they will shoot
Try top shelf, or five-hole
He'll block whatever they will shoot

The Sabres are back in the picture, holding down a playoff spot
With close games, some shootouts, their wins are keeping it hot
Miller keeps down the score, and the forwards all score more
The team's play is making the fans cheer, now it's becoming clear

With blocker, or goal stick
He'll stop whatever they will shoot
Try top shelf, of five-hole
He'll stop whatever they will shoot

Saving shots from the point
Saving shots from the slot
Catching pucks in his glove

It's late now, don't worry 'bout the other team scoring any goals
He's stalwart, still in it, right down till the final buzzer goes

With blocker, or goal stick
He'll stop whatever they will shoot
Try top shelf, or five-hole
He'll stop whatever they will shoot

Even in overtime (he'll stop whatever they will shoot)
Try him in a shootout (he'll stop whatever they will shoot)
He'll stop whatever they will shoot

Good? Bad? Lame? Let me know. I had fun writing it and maybe I'll make it a feature on the blog, but not ever week, I don't think. I have a hard enough time with the Hockey SAB. LOL

what about this?

I have an idea for a hockey song in my head. It needs work, but the thought is "I Love Derek Roy" to the tune of "I Love Rock and Roll" of course. It's been floating in the ole noggin for a while now but I think it's almost ready to be written. Of course it will be somewhat my point of view, somewhat the obsessed puckbunny's point of view.. who knows?

Just wanted to throw that out there in case y'all had any thoughts.

Well?
