The Great Play and The Touchdown

Racing down the ice

I catch my opponent

Then fire it to my teammate

Who can only miss the pass

Maybe it was the lights

Maybe the camera’s flash

Then I attack

It’s all mine

I’m all alone

Just me and the goalie

As I release the puck

From my stick

Its speed

Seems to increase

Only until the weaving of the net stops it in its tracks

 

 

I shall not just sit back and wait

A touchdown should be earned

I’ll sprint until my heart stops

And take hits until it burns

 

I’ll move as soon as Lukas speaks

That is when I go

I’ll run through the thick and thin

And watch our score grow

 

And when I get the ball

I’ll look for the open hole

And trust my teammates to hold their blocks

Until we punch through the goal
