“With Open Arms”

We asked plenty of questions

And you never lied

Now, despite the harsh disappointment  

We stand firmly by your side

We'll be forever grateful,

For your spirit and skill

Though it ended too soon

This season provided many a thrill

The Threepeat situation

Has happened four times before

And no previous team

Got beyond the Round-2 exit door

The Stanley Cup is a stern master

That poses hardships and harms

So, rest and heal in the summer

And, we’ll welcome you back with open arms

Let go of wounded pride

Recover from every physical pain

Then, recharge, renew, and return

To playing your beautiful game

Love and loyalty still stand

They’ll remain vibrant and strong

For although you’re down for a moment

 We know you won’t be for long

I have nothing but words

To take last night’s sting away

Please take them to heart

And return with vigor on Opening Day

Whatever fate throws at you

Hear this message above the blaring alarms

When you get back to the Burgh,

We'll all welcome you back “With Open Arms!”
