Deep Dive with the BRRR-acuda

2022-05-11

This aint a song made for bragging. This is a song made for taunting.
This is a song about the San Jose Barracuda, tearing it all up in the Farm-Hockey League
Shut the lights, press play. The song is Heart - Barracuda

This playoff run is all but over
And those Roadrunners fans sure wished they’d hide their heart away
4 little games, and off to vacay
Bring on Cleveland, the Checkers, or really… whoever

Sneaky good is what they say.
Scott “So Ready” Reedy, up to 11 playoffs points
Brandon “2 first-round picks” Hagel, with a league-leading 13.
Are sure to pull your goalies out of their pants.

“What the hell are they doing in the minors ?”
To put it simply :
Koskinen making your shots look silly
Ferraro, Sandin and co, reminding you your kids aren’t ready.

Strategy ? What for ? Let Simon T do his thingy.
Don’t bother going all crafty with the sliders, buddy.
Kero or Wagner will still beat you like your daddy.
Worst case, we’ll dress Pezzetta, and you’ll definitely end up dizzy.

"What’s your secret?” they said
Keep the kids together
Barracudas and Sharks alike, it’s not a team, it’s a flock
But forget the Flying V, here goes the Swimming SJ

“Melnichuck with a stretch pad save pushes the puck in the corner to Middleton who
spins around so everyone can appreciate his ‘stache, then passes behind the net to Ferraro. Ferraro with a short pass to Halbgewachs who turns on the jets, crosses neutral ice diagonally, and drops the puck just inside the blue line to incoming Scott Reedy, who takes the puck and goes straight down the boards, stiff-arming his way through coverage. He draws 3 defenders, leaving John Leonard all alone in the slot. Reedy kicks the puck through everyone’s skates and Leonard one-times it BAR DOWN.  West Coast fashion, 100% San Jose organically grown.

The real thing don't do the trick, no
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ohh, BRRR-barracuda, yeah

So this ain't the end, I saw you again, today
I had to turn my heart away
Smiled like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales, it never fails

You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, barracuda? Oh

Back over time we were all trying for free
You met the porpoise and me, uh-huh
No right, no wrong you're selling a song, a name
Whisper game

And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
Ooh, barracuda, oh yeah

"Sell me, sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep now to save my head, you
I think that you got the blues too

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools, silly, silly fools

The real thing don't do the trick, no
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Ohh, barra-barracuda, yeah
