Twas the game before Christmas, and the score was all tied
The teams were battling, the fans were blurry eyed
The Kraken were pushing, their skill on display
The captain, Chuck Stewart, was on it today

The score sat at four, each team to no avail
The game went to overtime, which was the key detail
The crowd held its breath, as the players plot
Who would be the hero, all it would take is one shot

Chuck Stewart stood tall, ready to pounce
It was his moment to shine, he gave it every ounce
His legs were heavy, but his mind was strong
He knew he needed to end this one, before it was too long

Chuck saw his opportunity, as the puck met his stick
He went flying down the ice, as if his goalie had the ick
Not quite a breakaway but it was all the same,
A two on one with Kim, who was ready for game

In that moment, Chuck thought of his idol
That glorious game she played against the Tidal
Betzee Nickelback ( @kahri ) was her name
Chuck knew if she could do it, he was the same

Stewart to Chaewon ( @JamesT ) the announcer yelled
The fans all stood as the excitement swelled
A pass back to Stewart made it in time
The net was wide open, a miss would be a crime

The building erupted as the red light shined
The horn blasted as if it had its own mind
The Kraken were victorious, there was never a doubt
They went into the holidays as if they caught they biggest trout

Everyone was happy, Christmas time was here
First star of the game was Chuck, what a way to end the year
The Kraken were happy, the players were full of cheer
They partied all night until they were out of beer.
