Parody of the classic "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden

Anze may score but Horny will score two
Drew can fire the biscuit but we'll run him through
So when you're mounting your offensive attack
You better prepare for Jarry to turn you back
The whistle sounds as the game begins
But on this battlefield only one team wins
Shift by shift you hear their laboured breath
The skill, the speed, they soon drip with sweat

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Geno smiles with guile as he slips his cover
He never was a Doughty lover
And as he skates around the defenders wall
The puck screams in the net as the tender falls
Second period sees bodies lying on the ground
And as the Kings fire another round
Can't give them such easy prey
Too dangerous on the Power Play

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

The game so close but Pens by 1 are in the lead
When the Slovenian gets a lovely feed
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A top shelf laser makes the goal lamp glow
But as I sit there gazing at the screen
On comes Rust, Zucker and Sidney
The puck is dropped, down the ice they fly
Break the tie with a second left, no overtime.

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

[HuskerTornado]

Kind of surprised this wasn't a Skid Row reference.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Came expecting Sebastian Bach, was not disappointed.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I do not know many names on that Kings roster at all

 

[Ogrezilla]

10:30 start. Woof.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

10:30 start. Woof.

I'll be driving back from Montreal at that time. Hopefully my friend will let me listen to the game on the radio (NHL app via Android Auto).

Is this some sort of embedded advertising?

Lol lol

Hey guys did you know that you can listen to your favorite team through the NHL App on Android? No matter if you're on the go, you'll never miss a hit, play, or goal!

 

[TrueTT]

Turn this thing around please. I lost a bet to a coworker and now have to bandwagon for the Penguins and Oilers. Please make it worthwhile, Sid, Geno and company

Go Pens.

Pumped for the game. Let’s turn this around, 4 easier games in a row.

Thanks for jinxing them...have to counteract that: our usual 3 game run through CA under Sully involves getting only one regulation win, and it’s not often the Kings...with an AHL lineup and below .900% goaltending, they are in prime position to beat the Pens...

 

[OnMyOwn]

I wake up at 5 am every day, so a 1030 start blows. Especially when I wanna watch the new guys. Maybe I’ll watch the first so I can see Marleau in a pens jersey.

Same. I'll do my best to make it through the first period.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Lets take Mike Tyson's advice, and f*** them till they love us.

 

[Khelandros]

Those lineups look....odd. Many players that don't play for those teams.

 

[MartinS82]

Going to both SoCal games! Yay for me!

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Aren't Angello and Lafferty currently with Wilkes Barre? Also, Agozzino was claimed by the Ducks a couple of days ago.

Cool GDT nonetheless

 

[Ugene Magic]

Great work on the GDT, Ginger!


Might be good day to crack open a bottle of Marlow...

Please see the note below the lineups.

Also, my apologies if my jpeg offended anyone. It was intended to be in fun but I can see how it could be off putting. I’ll find something else to replace it. Thank you to whoever made the Thread Live.

If pooping your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

I moved from Socal this past year and miss going to both those games. Enjoy!

I used to go to the SJ game as well. But then wife and kids.
