+------Ovi Like Moses; The Deliverance Of The Capitals From Egypt

Alexander, bereft of your
ice-heroism, the Caps enslaved;
A Hebrew people debased…
the NHL playoffs like Egypt in all
of its sun-scorched-sand-Trophy-
less-precariousness: Jon Cooper
Pharaoh-esque, overseeing
the Tampa Bay Lightning as
taskmasters callous, taunts like rotted meats.
Their body checks, slashing like whips
flagellating bare backs. But tonight
your power shots, assists, and
skating will be 10 Plagues preceding
deliverance. Your power plays as
locusts, frogs, death of the first-born
of the Lightning’s championship hopes.
And when you score tonight’s OT goal,
freedom: the Red Sea of years’ losing
parting, you, the team apace on dry ground to
the Promised Land of the Stanley
Cup. Pharaoh and his army behind you drowning.

------Exodus 14:26-31
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.
