The Habs have a fast Lane

(With apologies to the great Tracy Chapman)


We got David Savard

Blocks lots of shots

With his Stanley Cup rings

But his body’s getting old for defendin’

Can’t keep up with the young new wingers

Need to find talented young blood on the blue line

Somebody’s got to take care of it

So Hughes and Gorton got to work

And that’s what they did


We had a Weber once

And a Danault and a Lehkonen and a Toffoli too

And a Covid-shortened season

And a window to a playoff run

But Price’s knees had a problem

And Weber’s foot was totally finished

Somebody had to replace them

But Bergy had no answers so he earned a pink slip


Cuz I remember when we were driving

Driving for that Cup

Won three big series

Felt like I was drunk

Beating Leafs, Jets and Knights 

Put them in the rearview mirror

And I had a feeling 25 would come

And I had a feeling we could beat anyone

Anyone


Now we got a fast Lane

Skates like the wind

And dekes like a demon

He ain’t too tall or beefy

But he really knows what it means to be scorin’


And we got a Demidiv

A young new stud with ridiculous talent

And we got Caufield too

And Laine and Captain Suzuki too

These guys are all just blooming

Best years ahead and no foreseeable limits

And Anderson and Gally still here

And Armia and Evans 


Now we got a Wild Card

And we can take Washington

Just like the War of 1812

And a new White House that’s fit for burning


And I have a feeling 25 could come

And I have a feeling we can beat anyone

Anyone


GO HABS GO!
