Poem 273: 4 Nations Hockey Championship

Did anybody happen to watch that hockey game on Thursday night?

Hats off to “Chantal Kreviazuk” who started things off right

Changing the lyrics of our “National Anthem” for “Donald Trump” to understand

By singing “true patriot love that only us command”!

That was in protest of “Trump’s” babbling of “Canada” becoming the 51st state

The fact that this game was in “Boston” made it all great

Once the opening ceremonies were complete it was time to play

Dropped the puck at center ice while the crowd was yelling “U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A.”

No fights eight seconds in like the game before

As much as I like a good bout, I’m glad there wasn’t an encore

The teams stuck to hockey and the game could have gone either way

With the championship on the line , both sides made some great plays

Canada’s “MacKinnon” opened up the scoring and got the first one

“Brady Tkachuk” tied it up before the first period was done

“Jake Sanderson” would score for the “Americans” to take a 2-1 lead

“Sam Bennett” would tie it up for “Canada” thanks to a great “Mitch Marner” feed

The third period was great but neither team would score

This meant we would be going to overtime and there would only be one more

The greatest current hockey player would live up to his role

It would be “Connor McDavid” that would score the winning goal

Once again it was “Marner” who would set him up

This would lead to “Canada” winning the “4 Nations Cup”

I am so excited at the fact that we won this game

I insist however in bringing up another name

We wouldn’t have even come close to accomplishing this feat

If it wasn’t for “Jordan Binnington” we would have went down in defeat

This goaltender frustrated the “Americans” time and time again

He is the only reason we continue our reign

He stood on his head as everyone observed

All these accolades I preach are well deserved

Congratulations to “Team Canada” being successful in their quest

Some of them had to play their next regular season game with less than 2 days rest!
