Letter to the Editor from the Toronto Star

Kind of disappointed by the lack of comments made for my last two posts... oh well. Maybe this one will stir up some discussion.
I found this in the Toronto Star this morning in the sports editorials.

The Lockout Song

sung to the tune of Stompin' Tom Connor's Hockey Song...

Hello out there, does anybody care, there's no hockey on tonight

Tension grows, the fans all know, hockey's on thin ice

Bettman sneers, Goodenow jeers and the fans all go insane

Someone roars, "Nobody scores" when there is no hockey game.

Oh, the good old hockey game, was the best game you could name

And the best game you could name was the good old hockey game.

Second period...

With bags of cash, the players dashed, and left the fans behind

Neither side is giving in, the fans know they crossed the line

With both sides entrenched, the season flickering out like a flame

They reject the fans that pay the bills, and look to each other for blame

Oh, the good old hockey game, was the best game you could name

And the best game you could name, was the good old hockey game

Third period...

Last chance for a season, but unlikely

Take me where, fans come first, and join in with a drink

Instead the Stanley Cup is all filled up and rusting by the rink

With final words, from both the nerd, the NHL goes out like a flame

The fans get mad and walk away from the good old hockey game

Oh, the good old football game, is the best game you could name

And the best game you could name, is the good old football game.

LOL - when I read that, I laughed out loud! The Good old hockey game is one of my fav. songs!!! And this new version is SO true. I read this morning that the New England/Pittsburgh game drew 27% more viewers than last year's late game (on Global...). And the Philly/Atlanta game was up 2% over last year's conference game.

When football season is over, I'm going to be SO depressed....

GO PATS GO!!!
