Come Back, Let Them Smell the Ice!

I watched tonight,
your broad confidence
shrinking from frostbite

Each puck shoved in
made me tense, curse,
and wonder, ‘Where’s the gin?’

Punished by the box,
normally given as a prize,
for your lack of blocks

 

Your efforts fell short,
adversary team won
this high maintenance sport

Mighty Blackhawks return
White City of adoring fans
clench Stanley Cup hard earned
