Down to the two final teams 
it's Canada against the United States, 
three periods of hockey to watch 
which team will meet their fate? 

The game started at one pm my time 
I could not wait to watch, 
Winter games being held in Sochi, Russia 
both of the teams were real topnotch. 

Battling it out with each other 
each team taking turns in the penalty box, 
skating back and forth down the ice 
both teams put up good blocks. 

There was no score in the first period 
between either of the teams, 
they had a rough first period 
trying to fulfill their Olympic dreams. 

The second period finally begins 
I was sitting on the edge of my seat, 
who was going to get the first goal? 
The women were superb athletes. 

The United States gets the first goal 
she should pat herself on the back, 
definitely deserved to get that one 
her team was on the attack. 

It was still too early yet 
to say who was going to win, 
it was only the second period 
on my face, I held a grin. 

Second period over and done with 
it was time to take a break, 
the girls had deserved this one 
I wondered what strategy our team would take. 

Finally the third period starts 
it seemed like a long intermission, 
I was in a big rush to see the game tied 
United States scored again, I was totally stunned. 

The minutes had gone by quite quickly 
when the game was almost through, 
when Canada put in their first goal 
three minutes, twenty seven seconds left, I'm stuck to the t.v. like glue. 

I almost fell out of my seat and landed on the floor 
our Olympic dreams, we still had a fighting chance, 
I was going to change the channel at first 
then felt like doing my happy dance. 

I was really hoping with my heart 
we'd get back to back goals, 
but, since we have our first one 
the girls were fighting with their hearts and souls. 

The minutes ticked away quickly 
penalties were still being handed down, 
we were still in the game 
there was no reason to frown. 

Fifty-five seconds left in the period 
Canada was able to score again, 
penalty after penalty, were being given 
come on, just be friends. 

The game goes into overtime 
the score is tied two to two, 
another fifteen minutes to wait 
I gave credit, to where it was due. 

The longest fifteen minutes 
in my life, I had to ever wait, 
come on, let's go already 
I want to know my team's fate. 

I'm sitting here and watching 
who's going to get the next goal? 
Waiting forever, overtime finally begins 
hurry up, get it in the hole. 

Eleven minutes and fifty seconds, GOAL!!!!! 
it was such a sight to behold, 
team Canada wins the hockey game 
walking away with the Olympic GOLD!!!!!!
