To Alexander Ovechkin
Do you remember
How you scored.
That last goal?
How you dangled the D
With your moves?
How you just flew
Past them?
How you sniped
Bar down?
Do you remember?
Don’t you think
I jumped up
After you were
On a breakaway?
At the slot
Did not hear my shout.
Tell of my
Happiness.
Of another amazing goal?
Score.
As I have taught you
To skate.
It’s only the Goalie
To Beat now
Pull a few dekes
With all the energy
You have left
Look into the goalie’s eyes
Think only of your goal
To score
Skate straight
Skate high
Skate hard
Save nothing
Then shoot the
Puck!
Buzzer goes off,
It is louder than Crosby crying.
But it is even
Louder with the silence
Of the opposing fans
Finish
With a
Goal celebration,
Put your finger
Up to your
Lips to
Silence the
Opposing crowd
