from Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun,

Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the valley

Every creature is stirring

Over young Patrik Laine.

The targets were hung

In the corners with care

To be shattered by the Finn

As soon as he got there.

The children were nestled

All snug in their seats

Visions of a radar gun

Proclaiming his feat.

He went head-to-head

With the big, strong defenceman

But the team's hardest shot

Still belongs to Byfuglien.
