Title: “Slashed Hearts and Blades of Glory”
(Verse 1)
We came to Nashville, lights shining bright,
Blackhawks in black, ready to fight,
But ten seconds in, the crowd lost control,
Nyquist struck first — like fire in the soul.
(Pre-Chorus)
But then came a moment, dark as the night,
Robert Hagg swung with all of his might —
Two hands of fury, no mercy, no grace,
Poor Mark Giordano — pain on his face.
(Chorus)
Why’d you do him like that, Hagg, why?
Took down a legend — made the whole rink cry
Giordano, 41, still playing with pride,
Now sidelined for weeks 'cause you couldn't let it slide.
Ohhh nooo... (You're evil, cold and cruel inside)
(Verse 2)
The Hawks were lost, no fight in their eyes,
Preds kept scoring, under Southern skies,
Jarvis was flying, like stars in July,
Seven goals deep and barely a try.
(Bridge)
But then... out of the darkness, a beacon arose,
Seth Jones — the one who still composed —
Skating like thunder, heart full of flame,
While the team fell apart, he still played the game.
(Breakdown — spoken, soft voice)
Hagg got five games — should’ve been ten,
That slash wasn't hockey… it was sin.
And though the box score shows a Preds domination,
Seth Jones still gave us hope… a silent salvation.
(Final Chorus — full harmony)
Hagg, you’re the villain in this boy band ballad,
We sing in minor chords, your heart’s just pallid.
But Seth Jones? He’s our midnight light,
Skating strong through the long, dark night.
Giordano — rest up, old warrior, don’t you fade,
You’ve still got more battles yet to be played…
Ohhh yeahhh...
(modulated key change for emotional impact)
Even in loss, there’s honor in the fight —
And Seth Jones, you made that ice shine bright.
