Big Bert, we hardly knew ye...
Twas a fine summer's day a year ago
When the winds of change began to blow
The news broke that you'd been signed
And some fans in Calgary were very unkind
They pouted and stomped and demanded a refund
It's fair to say, you must have felt shunned
Then Darryl demanded we give you a chance
So as the season began, we took a second glance
You started off hot, and earned our trust
Until you began to show some rust
Twenty game goal-less droughts and injuries galore
Made us want to show you the door
You scored some big goals and provided some muscle
But in the end, you just couldn't hustle
Your -13 was a defensive liability
And again we questioned your credibility
After a 44-point season, you did alright
But with our young players, the future looked bright
As summer wore on, you never got a call
But on a contract with the Red Wings, you would eventually scrawl
Now we've parted ways, we hope you're not bitter
And at age 34, we're glad you're no quitter
Next time you see us, you might hear a boo
But don't take it too hard, it's just the Saddledome brew
