Second Best

They walk off the ice

As losers but if one has

Truly watched the series

Not really…they were just

Second best,

Having fought a tough fight

Or it would never have

Reached seven games.

 

Their fans

On the other hand

Have deserted them,

Setting fires

And ravaging the city

 

These are the true

Losers of the game,

Setting the example

For all those kids

Watching them,

That if you don’t

Get what you want

Just throw an

Expensive evil

Temper tantrum.

 

The team should

Hold their heads high…

The fans should become

The pucks for

Practice shots

On the net.

Not a hockey fan and didn't watch, but the papers were full of the crazy things that the idiot fans did.... what a black eye for the city, the team and the sport. We humans are a stupid lot, not counting you, of course.

Nicely penned Susan.

Thanks Dick

Can't agree with you any more, Susan. Losing to a team that, in that particular series of games, were better, or got the breaks, or any number of things that resulted in coming in second best is no shame. The shame is our culture. Would they have rioted if their team had won? Maybe. It has happened. I think the fans of the Chicago Bulls of the NBA rioted even though they had won. Sometimes rioting is a coverup for criminal activities. Whatever it is, it is shameful, but the world has lost the ability to feel shame about anything. Think Weiner. He isn't/wasn't/never will be, shamed by his acts. Now I hear they are talking a reality television show for the idiot.
