dmann422 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Being it the night before Christmas, I recalled this fantastic post from 2010 originally posted in the Rock forum: Just a little something I whipped together for the Holiday Season. Enjoy!---Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Rock,The hallways were quiet, just the sound of a clockTicking ‘way time and three months of shame,Preparing itself for the Maple Leafs gameAll except for one man, alone in a room,Lou was there sitting, saddled with gloom.This team that he built was disaster, in fact,Towards the depths of the standings, they currently sat“How could this possibly happen?”, he swore.“The players are tested and ready, what’s more,Our coach had success with the minor league team.”“This season has been just a horrible dream”But then, out the window, there awoke such a clatterLou sprang from his chair to see what was the matter.Leaving smashed jars of jelly askew in his wake,He peered out the window at the cause of this quake.The night was as still as the new fallen snowBut Lou could make out tiny shapes down below.The crowd was first tiny but soon more showed upUntil suddenly their numbers began to erupt.When the mob began shouting pro Devils chants,Lou then realized they weren’t just ants.In Championship Plaza, assembled as one,The whole Devil’s Army, united they’d come.They wore jerseys with Kovy and Marty and ClarksonAmongst Parise and Zajac and even a Rolston!Some honored the past with Stevens and Dano.One guy even sported an “Emerick and Chico”They shouted and yelled out the best chants they knewAnd the more the crowd cheered, the larger they grew.Even the mascot joined in on the funAs Devils themed carols loudly were sung.The spirit of oneness filled the Brick City skyAnd soon Lou realized why the tear in his eye.The moment at hand gave his lip a small quiverAs he realized the gift the fans had delivered.Despite all the failures and lost expectations,Pride still existed within Devils Nation. Players may leave and have other plansBut the true core of the team was the heart of the fans.With a sweep of his arm, Lou threw up the shadeAnd to the mob down below, gave the smallest of waves.The crowd responded with an uproarious cheerAnd Lou could do nothing but grin ear to ear.The party raged on to the wee morning lightAnd no one quite knows the attendance that night.All that is remembered is the spirit of prideIn all that the team has helped to provide.So, no matter what day you hold dear this seasonOr frustrations you hold, regardless the reason,When you come to the Rock, in a voice loud and shrill,Show our team love with a, “LET’S GO DEVILS”!HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I feel the bolded part (emphasis mine) is especially important to remind ourselves. So whoever you are and wherever you may be, be it near to the Rock or far out of sight, a very merry, happy, healthy Christmas to all, and to all a good night! and of course, LETS GO DEVILS!
