T’Was the Night Before Christmas “Holidays”
And all through the rink
Holland was cursing
One goal you would think

He thought he would rebound
From that ripped up knee
So he used next years cap
To win now you will see

Then when his groin
It really did pop
But after only 9 games
Holland could have said stop

And now he sits out
A damn healthy scratch
It really does seem
He wasn’t a good catch

And stuck in the minors
Jacks percentage did cave
Even down there
He can’t make a save

Hollands son he did tell him
He watched hundreds of hours
It must have been Pornhub
And lots of cold showers

Along with coach Dustin
They told Ken that he’d be
Our saviour in net
But now we need three

Thankfully Jeff Skinner
Along with Pickard
are letting Ken think
Tending can disregard

Kane scored a goal
With his brand new white stick
McLoed went to net
And beat Jonathan Quick

Drai has right wing
Warren Foegele
And I will be damned
He scored a big goal

The line McDavid and Hyman
Ryan Nugent Hopkins
Are the best in the league
All the shots they go in

Derek Ryan gets smoked
In every damn game
Janmark and Erne
Play well all the same

Hamblin is a bit small
But plays very smart
And what can we say
About Sammy’s big heart

Dylan’s injured again
He is made of glass
Tyler Wright he got fired
His scouting was ass

The defence is better
Under Coffey and KK
The penalty kill
Well what can you say

It’s much better now
Nurse he can provide
He’s earning every penny
Of that nine and two five

Bouchard he can bomb
And Ekholm the Viking
Really make a great pair
They really are striking

Ceci can’t score
But he is playing better
Pair Kulak and Vinny
They’re earning the sweater

Oh don’t forget Ben
His last name is Gleason
He’s sitting a lot
In the games that we’ve won

We just hit five hundred
It’s been really hard
And all we can hope for
Is to be a wild card

The reffing has sucked
It seems every game
But it will never change
It will be all the same

The Oilers have dug
Themselves a huge hole
To climb out of it
Will it be a new Pole?

To all of my friends here
And those I have blocked
On HF Oil the forum
Who post mostly half cocked

I wish you all of the best
Of the season with cheer
A Merry Christmas to All
And Happy New Year

And to @brentashton
You miserable old prick
I hope you get all
What you want from Saint Nick!

Could you imagine if someone fed Santa's reindeer a bunch of beans today n tomorrow? The guy may not get cold, but he may not be able to breathe either.
Be like driving a kid home from his game. You know, the one who refuses to take his stuff out of the bag after each game/practice to air it out, and then his hockey bag becomes a stinkbomb.

My God my eyes would water in those Midget (U18) dressing rooms sometimes. I swear some of the teens had underwear stuck to the bottom of their equipment bag.

I’m not sure why but growing up in the 60/70s, washing equipment wasn’t a thing like it is now (should have been).

Went to university and used to wear a onesie that was absolutely grey and yellow (bought new it was a stanfields white, bought from a Robinson’s Department store or Saan Store - can’t remember which one?).

Lived in a 2 bdrm apt with a bud) had only one place to put equipment and that was in the storage/laundry room. It used to cook in there between games (unless I forgot it in the trunk and it was frozen stuff when I got to Rutherford Arena to play the next game. Either way was never a pleasure to put on or even unzip the bag.

Nothing that a few pre game and a lot of post game beers couldn’t fix.

When I was a kid I would just leave the hockey bag in the unheated garage. In the winter months nothing would grow in that cold and seemed to sterilize stuff. A bit cold putting stuff on but no smell. Even in the apartment I had when I moved out just threw the bag on the balconey. Never a problem.

Just leave hockey bags outdoors kids. Let nature take care of it. In the spring I would just take the stuff out of the bag and spread equipment around covered deck to dry out. No probs. Guess it helps it was a third floor balconey and nobody could climb it to steal any stuff I had out there.

Merry Christmas All!

Good idea, and we thought about it, but my kid wasn't too eager to put on equipment that was minus 30 and frozen stiff before a game or practice.
