The Diachronic Barber Pole Observations of a Recovering Hockey Exile

Proverbial Ricochet (Our Captain Heads West)

July 8, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles

"the needs of the many"
    "captain my captain"

it's like Reggie in kelly green
     "jesus ... jesus"

"it's just a game"
     "but damn the game if it don't mean nuttin'"
"fortune favours the bold"

    it'll be more than 75
first time since Mario retired
that I'll need NHL Centre Ice

"at least he won't have to learn French"

"so don't be surprised to see me
         back in the bright part of town"

2K9  Ducks and Sens

"My mighty heart is broken.  He never failed
the Canadiens.  They failed him."

"you're the one who can put out the fire"

we skate with Saku over Claudell's neat lines
  over white light lakes
we dream of Alex' swivel and our captain's rough hug
     our jerseys stay red or white in our closets
our eyes turn to the rafters where those cotton numbers
may hang
         or never hang
to love again
  a flutter
