Tyler Seguin, on whether or not he’s been watching the playoffs. —

Zdeno Chara in…

A series of awkward encounters

Sing it with these lyrics:

Forwards and defensemen, these are the Bruins best lines.

One, two, three, four lines everybody on the team come on let’s fight.

In the TD Garden around the corner

The boys say they wanna play the game but I really don’t want a

Shootout like I had last week.

I must stay deep ‘cause talk is cheap.

I like Seidenberg, Bergeron, Horton and Wheeler (this was when he was on the team)

And as I continue, you know they’re getting sweeter.

So what can I do? I really beg you my Lord.

You know hockey is their favorite sport.

Anything fly, it’s all good let me dump it.

Please set it in the trumpet.

Chorus

A little bit of Bergeron in my life,
A little bit of Lucic by my side.
A little bit of Tuukka’s all I need,
A little bit of Boychuck’s all I see.
A little bit of Ference in the sun,
A little bit of Seguin all night long.
A little bit of Marchand here I am,

A little bit of Boston makes me a fan

—-

Skate up and down and move the puck around.

Tap your stick to the sound, drop your gloves on the ground.

Take one shot left and one shot right.

Shot to the front and shot to the side.

Do a celly once and do a celly twice

And if it look like this then you’re doing it right.

Repeat chorus

give me a picture of tyler seguin

any picture

and i

i will become it

Siiiigh.
