Better Call Sal

The Battle of New Year's Eve was set for early afternoon
And there was intensity in the air.
The talent on the other side was immense
with a certain player giving the crowd plenty of scares.
Coming off a win was all for naught
given who we would oppose.
The two most recent MVPs on the other side?
"We'll be lucky to keep this close at all!" the doubters supposed.
The pessimistic few were put silent early
and from a surprising source.
With a quick strike from Wrecky's PP,
and one a one-timer from Jack of course!
But for every tally the black and red managed,
the lead was short lived.
As the oil men from Alberta would quickly answer each time
leading to the naysayers crying, "Sieve!"
While confidence was not at a high,
and the goals were filling the net.
The faithful could not help but be impressed
with how the young contingent's battle had met.
Yet in an all too familiar scene,
the team was suddenly trailing.
And whatever hope of two points was there,
it since began flailing.
"Huh?" "Excuse me?"
The black and red pleaded.
"Dougie touched the puck after the penalty was called!"
Was this the break the team needed?
The zebras then gathered,
together in a heard.
But after a prolonged delay,
things became most absurd.
The goal was upheld and it could not be reviewed,
sending the home fans to an irritated state.
Followed by a ticky tack call to young Rango,
how much more could be added to our plate?
With just seconds to spare and down a goal,
poetic justice would be served.
With a slight tip in the right direction,
young Rango tied the game, what a swerve!
Stress surrounded the rink for 3 on 3,
especially with McDavid seeking a hat trick.
But Jack found a hole through the leaky netminder
and send the fans home ecstatic!
We go from the current star,
to the potential top all-time goal scorer today.
What can we do for an encore?
Get another f***ing W, I'd say!
