Verse One — The Dawn of Battle

At the very start of the game,
on the very first rush,
young Zachary Bolduc,
finally seeing the end
of a thirteen-game scoring drought,
receives the puck and,
with a blistering one-timer,
makes the mesh tremble:
one to zero Montréal.

And a few minutes later,
after a silky exchange
between Bolduc and Caufield,
captain Nick Suzuki appears,
unleashes a precise shot,
and beats Vejmelka mercilessly.
His second point of the night.
His four-hundredth career point.
Two to zero Montréal.

Chorus

O Tricolore,
you who advance, then stumble,
and always rise again,
tonight once more you will write
your song of glory and sweat.
Montréal, O Montréal,
your courage rekindles the light.

Verse Two — The Nightmare of the Second Period

But the wind shifts,
and Utah’s storm rises.

First, indiscipline strikes:
Alexandre Carrier sends the puck
over the glass.
On the power play,
Barrett Hayton fires
a sharp shot that beats Jakub Dobes.
Two to one.

Then Kailer Yamamoto,
taking advantage of soft coverage,
scores from the slot.
The Canadiens collapse.
Tied two to two.

And then…
Joseph Veleno forgets his man.
Michael Carcone slips behind the net,
circles the cage at his own pace,
and scores like in practice.
Three to two Utah.
The Mammoth turns the game around
in barely four minutes
and a few seconds.

Chorus

O Tricolore,
you who advance, then stumble,
and always rise again,
tonight once more you will write
your song of glory and sweat.
Montréal, O Montréal,
your courage rekindles the light.

Verse Three — The Renewal of the Third Period

But the CH never spoke its last word.

First, a goal by Juraj Slafkovsky
is waved off
for offside,
and the ice growls.
But instead of giving up,
Montréal reignites the fire.

Zachary Bolduc hits the post,
Gallagher shoots,
the rebound slides to Suzuki…
who doesn’t hesitate for a second:
wrist shot,
goal.
Tied three to three.
The captain relights the flame.

And then comes the decisive instant,
the flash of brilliance,
the moment to write history.

After dodging
a crushing hit
from Nate Schmidt,
the phenomenal Ivan Demidov
grabs the puck.
He skates,
he drives forward,
he locks onto Vejmelka,
and with an electric wrist shot,
he scores.
He gives the lead.
He gives the victory.
Four to three Montréal.

Bridge — The Final Trial

And in the last minute,
Dobes stretches,
stands firm against Schmaltz,
and keeps the door shut.
The posts sing,
the crowd trembles,
but the Tricolore holds strong.
It refuses to fall.

Finale — The Victory

Tonight, Montréal sings.
Tonight, the heroes have names:
Bolduc,
Suzuki,
Demidov,
and Dobes the courageous.

The Tricolore wins,
finds the light again,
and sparks hope
once more.

Victory four to three.
Victory hard-fought.
Victory deserved.
