A Jackets X-mas wish list yule love!

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that Lord Stanley soon would be there;

The players were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of.....

Agnew - a powerplay

Beech - a permanent home in Columbus

Boll - a pair of golden gloves

Brassard - a chance in the big show (and a break from freak injuries)

Brule - one way ticket on the Polar Express, destination: Syracuse

Chimera - a new break-away move

Davidge - some uppers
Day - a trucker hat the says "Thank you Jim Day"

Fedorov - a time machine

Foote - to actually deflect a shot in the opposing team's goal instead of his own

Fritsche - some sparkplugs in his stocking

Gare - a permanent power outage to the illustrator

Glencross - twelve goals after x-mas

Hainsey - a breakout pass

Hejda - a sparkling new contract

Hitchcock - miniature replica 1873 Napoleon field gun cannon tree topper (..and some consistancy from his team)

0n hockey's ultimate prize and I hope he gets it some day)
