The Music of the VHLM

Part 6

 

Welcome back to The Music of the VHLM! This is the 6th installment of this series. Last week, we looked at the Philadelphia Reapers, who maintain a 3 point lead over Ottawa with one more game played. Certainly the top is a battle, but this week, we are going to shift our gaze from the top teams in the league to one that isn’t doing so hot - at least not in the standings. Folks I’m talking about Mexico City.  

Mexico City Kings
Mexico, by Cake

 

The Kings have had a rough season so far. Currently, they are leading the league in both losses and overtime losses, which is a nice way of saying they are last place. The team has been more or less gutted of talent, with only ten skaters and a single goalie on the roster. However, the Kings still control their first three draft picks for S68, with an additional first rounder from Ottawa and two additional third rounders from Yukon and Halifax. With a kind lottery they have a good chance of landing some real talent and then either making a push for the cup or catapulting it into further rebuilding for S69. 

 

The song I’ve chosen today for Mexico City is from geek rock darlings Cake, and it’s called simply “Mexico.” This bittersweet, western-style waltz has just a touch of blues that is perfect for a team in the middle of a rebuild. The lyrics “Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico // Oh baby, I was bound to let you go,” resonates for those first round picks that get drafted and subsequently flipped for the rebound process. Let’s just hope that they step out of this waltz sooner rather than later, and really start to dance.

 

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned next week as we continue the coverage
