The Lockout: 2013 Edition

It’s not the first time this has happened during my life-time, At least we had won the Stanley Cup in ’04 before the last lockout, But this time, This time was different. Thinking of college and what I want to study, Stressing that there might be no NHL at all, Having the same dream job since I was little, To work for the Tampa Bay Lightning. This Stupid Lockout could change everything, Who knows what would happen to the NHL, But after a many hours of hard praying to Lord Stanley, The hockey gods answered all diehard hockey fans’ prayers, The lockout was finally over! It was a late but greatly wanted birthday and Christmas present. Waiting for the owners and players to agree on a contract Was like watching an entire rink melt. College was just in my sight And I’m ready to get my shot at my dream job.
