Day 35 - Ode to the Girlfriends of Hockey Fans

*Note: If you want to steal this to seem romantic when hockey starts back up, change the person from 2nd to 1st"

In spite of our intense obsession
The puck drops down and you've lost our attention
To the players spinning and turning all kinds of directions
The phrase "You gonna sit wit me?" being our only affection

It's primal instincts
To watch these frost giants engage in their war
Demolishing one another for a rubber biscuit
Until they pass the gatekeeper with it and put up a score

It's three periods of boisterousness
with our ambiguous yell
"Did you score or give one up"
That's a dealbreaker if you can't even tell

You're a vital part of our viewing experience
Offering moral support
With cheers, whoops, laughs
To our semi-funny retorts

Like when Steve Stamkos slips and falls on the ice
Or when we pick up Braden Holtby for a killer price
Or when Hartnell flips out which seems to be his vice
Or when Semin scores in the playoffs, I think that happened twice

We beg you be patient and please don't breakaway
Keep your poise, don't start a fight
The players have a our focus until the end of the game
But you've got us to yourselves for the rest of the night (post highlights)

Please know that in the end
it's you that we love more
if you faced the Oilers in shootout
You'd win even if you didn't score

So together let's explore
Glory, guts and gore
On hockey's dance floor
It's you we adore
