For my two-and-a-half year old daughter. In the tradition of Dr. Seuss;
A is for ACC, the building the Leafs play in,
B is for Blake, or Bozak, or better yet, Beauchemin,
C is for Colton Orr, Christian Hanson, or Carl Gunnarson,
D is for discipline and depth at the defensive position,
E is for Exelby, F is for Finger,
G is Grabovsky, and H is a Hagman hat-trick game-winner,
I is for the ice they play on,
J is for the joy when they win,
K is for Kadri, Kessel, Kaberle, Komisarek, and Kulemin,
and L is for Lee, now that Stempniak fits in,
M is for MONSTER! and mustachulence, too,
N is for Nik, but it's not Hagman, nor Kulemin, who,
I'm thinking of (nor even, is it Antropov),
No, N is for Nikolai Borschevsky, it's true!
O is for OLAS, our Luke and Schenn,
P is for Poni, and I guess Q is for Quinn,
R is for Robert Reichel, no wait, that's terrible, let me try that again,
R is for Ron, our coach, Mr. Wilson,
S is for Stajan setting up Stempniak's shorthanded score,
T is for Toronto, TRUCULENT to the core,
U is for "us", Leafs Nation, united,
V is for Vesa, so don't get excited,
W is for White, a warrior supreme,
X is for XLB, who makes the list twice now it seems,
Y is for Yonge street, written in yellow crayon,
and Z is for Zezel, in heaven, with skates on.

General, that was fantastic. I'm sure your daughter loved it.
if i were to have any offspring, i'd read them this every night
Great work General
General, it was almost perfect except you forgot Wendel.
Thanks gang!
@kidk: You're right. I thought I might even edit it to read "W is for Wendel and White, our warriors supreme" but then I'd have to change D to Dougie and F for Felix and B for Bill Berg... The 93/94 team deserves one of it's own I suppose. I tried to keep this one within the current team as much as possible.
@LD: I can't wait for you to have offspring. That would be amazing.
