(I wrote this before the joyous news)

O mighty defender of the Habs bleu line
And friend of children, Subban of Norris;
Adored by Anglo and Franco the same
For plowing into the dread bears arse first.
But he was not loved by the coach of the earth
Who hated anything more fun than dirt.
He shackled Subban with allies most dire
Each one more slow and useless than the last,
And pleaded to Gold Man, "He's bad! Trade him now!"
So Gold Man talked to the Cat of Long Tooth
To trade for the man named after a grill,
And in foolish wisdom, brought character.

From now on I wail with futility,
That the coach of the earth be brought to the fire.
