Ode to Alex Frolov

I realize that the timing of this FanPost may not be the best.  I know that it has been over two weeks since Alexander Frolov signed with Avangard Omsk and officially ended his stint as a Ranger.  However, something about Memorial Day weekend and the weather outside has roused in me a sense of summer, and hence (especially in my family) the Beach Boys.  Now, I've deliberated on whether or not to write this "article" for a while.  I know things like this have been tried before and they can misfire or even backfire badly.  But, I figured I'd put it out there and let you guys be the judge - Hopefully it will suffice for offseason entertainment fare.

And so, I would like to present to you an Ode to Alex Frolov, sung to the tune of "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys.

[Join me after the jump for the lyrics]

Star-divide

Round round wrap around, I wrap around, Yeah
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(I wrap around)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(From town to town)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(I got a one track head)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(I'm making real good bread)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around

I'm Alex Frolov and I am pleased to meet you
I got the puck and I don't know what I'll do

I'm not skilled enough to make somebody miss
and I know better than to pass the puck to Chris [Drury]

(I wrap around)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(From town to town)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(I got a one track head)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(I'm making real good bread)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
I wrap around
(Round)
Wrap around round round, oooo
Wah wa ooo
Wah wa ooo
Wah wa ooo

The long way around, now that is a safe bet
I'll make the long side short by going behind the net

To my knowledge, this has worked just solely once
and that was only thanks to a miraculous bunce*

(I wrap around)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(From town to town)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(I got a one track head)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
(I'm making real good bread)
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
I wrap around
(Round)
Wooo ooo ooo ooo

Round round wrap around, I wrap around, Yeah
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
Wah wa ooo
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
Oooo ooo ooo
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
Ahh ooo ooo
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
Ahh ooo ooo
Wrap around round round, I wrap around
Ahh ooo ooo

*Bunce = a sudden happening that brings good fortune (good S.A.T. word)

I remember you singing this around the house. I have to admit I got a good laugh out of it. Going to miss seeing Frolov get the puck, look almost excited, like a fat German kid with a chocolate covered pretzel, and immediately go for a wraparound.

Great job.

LOL

I think he got the wrong idea when management gave him the ’94 Finals tapes… the idea was to get him to understand what the fan base wants (The Cup), though the plan backfired and he took it as “Be Like Stephane”. We all know what happened next.
