GO WINGS!!!!
As I write this, the Red Wings are up 2-0 with ____ left in the third period. Game 2 against the Pittsburgh Penguins (creepers...lol). With any luck, they'll take the next two...or, at least, another two, before Pitt takes four. Home ice advantage. w00t.
The last time we made it this far, we had a lovely theme song. I think it's appropriate to post that right now, even though some of those players have been traded/retired (we miss you, Yzerman!).
I give you: WITHOUT STANLEY
Steve Yzerman scores from ‘round the outside, ‘round the outside, ‘round the outside
Chris Chelios scores from ‘round the outside, ‘round the outside, ‘round the outside
Guess who’s back, back again
Stanley’s back, when we win
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back, nanana
McCarty scores his first hat trick
Aause nobody wants to see Patrick no more
They want Hasek, Roy’s chopped liver
Well if you want Stanley, this is what we’ll give ya
Another victory, nothin’ could be bigger
Some hockey to jump start this town quicker than a shot when it gets blocked up in Hasek’s goal
And gets knocked into the stands, he’s got them saying,
“I can’t believe all the pucking shots he’s saving!”
We’ve waited this long, we’re not complaining
‘Cause we’re back, we’re on the ice and dominating
You may think you can stop our reign
But the Red Wing’s hot streak is not your thing
So the referee won’t let us be
Callin’ penalties so let me see
We’ll score short-handed on a 5-on-3
But it feels so empty without Stanley
So get out’ your seat, get on your feet, get pumped -
You’re gonna see another defeat
And get rowdy, ‘cause we’re all about to party
Start plannin’ the parade
THANK YOU, SCOTTIE!
Now this looks like a job for Detroit
Everybody just follow Steve
‘Cause we need another Cup can’t you see
‘Cause it feels so empty without Stanley
Vancouver - bunch of pitiful loser
St. Louis - they blew it, they couldn’t be bluer
Then Colorado took a stab at the Cup
20,000 fans in the stands yelled,
“AVS SUCK!”
Semi-finals, ends on a high note
Remember, Carolina, don’t try to deny us
You’ll never see another better team last
Since the fact we dropped the Avalance down on their ass
And it’s a disaster, such a catastrophe
You could see a seven-to-nothing playoff masterpiece
We’re back, nanananananananana
Here comes Shanahan, he’s on the center line again
Setting up a definitive play so we can win it
The center of attention
Back in as things get interesting
The best team’s the Red Wings
So let’s sing this song ‘til your head rings
“Ladies and gents, attention please”
They cause attention soon as they step in the rink
Here’s the best thing:
The Wings can beat any team, any week
Here comes Stanley!
Now this looks like a job for Detroit
Everybody just follow Steve
‘Cause we need another Cup can’t you see
‘Cause it feels so empty without Stanley
Before we come to Sackic, we’ll go tit-for-tat with
Any player on the bench when we’re in action
Since that wussy Patrick, he just got his ass kicked
So Hurricanes, better watch your back, you bastards
And Irbe? You could get stomped by Sergei
Knocked unconscious, you’ll be requirin’ first aid
You can’t hang, it sucks, so let it go - it’s over
Hockeytown rules the other floes
So let’s go, just give us the signal
We’ll be there with the whole team full of potential
Abendo (?), amazing when we’re skating
Ever since the first time we got the Cup and we raised it
But since then, man, it just seems
Everybody just wants to diss the Wings
This just shows the jealousy
But it’s our team, we’re just extreme!
No we’re not the first kings in hockey jerseys
We are the best thing since 53’s team
To play ice hockey so gracefully
And use it to make our fans happy (hey!)
Here’s a concept that works
20 million die hard Wings fans & merz
But no matter how many teams in the league
Only our team will bring home Stanley
Now this looks like a job for Detroit
Everybody just follow Steve
‘Cause we need another Cup can’t you see
‘Cause it feels so empty without Stanley
P.S. The Joe has really good music - it's like they play 89X in there. SWEET.
P.P.S. There's another one, called "Red & White" by the Potty Mouth Sissies (not the same guys) - I'll work on lyrics for that :D
P.P.P.S. GGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! 3-0!!!!! "WHOOOA, WE'RE HALFWAY THERE...."
GO WINGS!
